Stay Cool in the Sun: What Fabrics to Wear in the Heat

The days are getting longer, the Colorado sun is shining brighter and the temperatures in Littleton are getting hotter.  Spring is here and, with summer approaching, staying cool in the warm weather is essential to maintain your comfort when you are outdoors.  As expert dry cleaners, we have had a lot experience dealing with different fabric types so today we are here to help YOU identify which fabrics are the lightest and coolest for summer fashion this year.

Linen                                                                    

Linen is the perfect warm weather fabric. Its open weave and natural fibers give it phenomenal breathability that allows this fabric to stay cool in the sun. Even the heavier varieties of linen breathe.  In addition to keeping you cooler in the sun, linen has a delicate texture that will soften with every wash making it very easy on the skin. Linen shirts, blouses, and pants will allow you to look great and stay cool on the hottest of days.

Madras

This fabric is named after the Indian city it came from.  Made of breathable, lightweight cotton, madras makes for a prefect warm weather fabric. What makes this fabric unique are its colors. It is often brightly colored with a plaid design and it will slowly fade in the wash—but in a good way. As it is washed, the colors become muted and soft giving it a new look every time you wear it. Madras is often used in shorts but can also be found as a shirt or even a lightweight jacket.

Seersucker

It’s light, it’s cotton and it’s often striped. Seersucker, with origins rooted in the South, is a perfect way to let your skin catch a summertime breeze. It has an irregular texture that will keep it away from the skin to allow for air circulation. Often a jacket or a trouser, seersucker is now becoming popular for shorts. Its striped design pairs well with solids.

 

A little bit of fabric knowledge will go a long way. Rather than just picking out a pair of shorts and a shirt hoping the sun won’t beat you up too badly, you can select  fabrics that are not only perfect for the warm weather but are stylish too.
