Every season a change of clothes is essential in the closet. The fabrics and colors that we wear in cold weather are not like porous summer clothes. The same happens with the pattern making of the models, in summer she wears more flowing clothes, without being attached to the body. The temporal characteristics go hand in hand with the texture of the fabric and the colors, thus influencing clothing trends.
Knowing how to choose the right clothes for each season is key to not getting too hot or too cold. Now, with the arrival of the strong summer waves, everyone wants to avoid those uncomfortable and unsightly sweat stains that form especially in the armpits. Body perspiration is something physiological, only when we sweat the most, as it is at this time of year, it is essential to wear comfortable clothes, made of light fabric and with soft and light colors.
Regardless of the annual trends set by the big firms, they all agree in choosing the same fabrics for summer, although the models and colors vary slightly. Synthetic fibers such as polyester, nylon, acrylics, leatherette, among others, are discarded because they are heavy and not very breathable. And both in them and in them.
Summer fabrics that help you not to sweat so much
The most appropriate fabrics to wear in summer are those created from natural fibers, although there are currently new synthetic fibers that are also summery. At least, says Professor Shaoning Zeng of the Huazhong University of Science and Technology (China), who has recently published the results of his research on a new 'meta-fabric' whose greatest attraction lies in its ability to lower body temperature in the person who uses it.
The cotton
It is par excellence the fabric that is most used in summer. Of vegetable origin, it is fresh, comfortable and very light. One of its greatest qualities is its breathability, thus helping to disperse body heat and dry easily.
It is a fabric that adapts well to making different types of garments, although it tends to wrinkle, but cotton garments are always comfortable.
Silk
It is the most valued fabric for the summer both for its characteristics and for its price. This fiber of animal origin is ultralight, super breathable, hypoallergenic and very soft to the touch. Although there may be traces of sweat on it, it is highly absorbent and quick-drying.
The making of garments with this fabric are by far the most luxurious and with loose styles and more mobility.
the flax
It is a quality fabric that, together with cotton, is one of the most used for the creation of summer garments. Its vegetable origin allows it to absorb moisture, it is very breathable and fresh.
Very versatile, it tends to form quite a wrinkle. For cleaning it is recommended to wash by hand or machine cold and without spin.
lyocell or tencel
It is a synthetic fiber that is obtained from different plants, including eucalyptus, and recycled material. With characteristics very similar to cotton, it has a soft touch, is fresh, breathable and also biodegradable.
It is a fabric that allows you to make all kinds of men's or women's garments, especially it is ideal for those who sweat excessively, since it absorbs moisture very well and hardly leaves an odour.
cold wool
Although it is abnormal to name wool as a summer fabric, there is a type of cold wool. It is a type of fine low-density wool, it is light, flexible and insulating as well as highly breathable.
It is generated with wool from merino sheep, alpaca and vicuña. It is ideal for making summer suits for men and jackets for women.
Colors that 'repel' heat
The warm and vivid colors help to keep warm. They reflect light and avoid not attracting so much heat.
Pastel tones and light chromatic tones are usually the allies for summer garments. Great couturiers also opt for monochromatic shades of pink, blue, grey, green or turquoise green or multicolored garments with prints, stripes or squares.
Some strong and vivid colors, such as yellow and orange, also repel heat. Not so red.
White is the most summery color. A basic that combines with all shades of colors and even without having to combine, it achieves sweet, attractive and soft looks, ideal for the hot months.
The color black in summer does not give heat as long as the garment is made with a natural fabric, with a soft texture, is light, fresh and fluid. Apart from fashion trends, this color is synonymous with elegance, it combines with all shades and is combined with floral, geometric or abstract prints. It is a timeless color, only the type of fiber varies.
