What do you think of when we mention "Summer"? I know you can give me various answers, such as ice cream, swimming pool, beach, ocean, etc. But I believe, we will invariably say "hot". All those we mention above just help us to take away the heat. So, except for these traditional methods of cooling, there are clothes that can keep you cool during the hot weather.

Highly moisture-absorbent fabrics can absorb sweat from the skin surface and diffuse sweat to the fabric surface through the capillary action of fabric fibers, thereby accelerating evaporation.

Why do we feel cool
As warm-blooded animals, we need to quickly dissipate the heat generated by intense exercise to maintain a constant body temperature.
One of the important ways is to sweat, when the body fluid evaporates, it will take away the heat, so that the body produces a cool and comfortable feeling.
Therefore, to facilitate sweat evaporation and allow airflow to carry away heat, the barrier of clothing to sweat evaporation and airflow should be minimized. Thus, according to this cooling principle, you need to pay attention to these aspects.
Which clothes we wear to keep our body cool
The Principle of Keeping Cool with Clothes
1. Looseness
Unlike the tight-fitting clothes, loose clothing doesn't attach to our body, which is helping us to lose the heat. |
2. Lightness
The heavy/thick clothes are hard to blow, which means air flows are hindered and sweats are also difficult to evaporate. |
3. Breathability
For example, when explaining "breathability": You can add that "Breathable fabrics usually have a loose structure, such as mesh fabric, or use special weaving methods, such as jacquard weave, to increase air circulation.

Here are some guidelines to determine if a fabric is breathable and comfor
4. Moisture Absorption

5. Light-Colored
Dark clothes absorb more heat than light-colored clothes. This means that in the sun, wearing black clothes will feel hotter than wearing white clothes. Therefore, in the hot summer, we should choose light-colored clothes as much as possible, such as white, beige, light blue, pink, etc. These colors can reflect sunlight and reduce the heat absorbed by the body, thereby achieving a cooling effect.
6. Clothing Styles
In addition to fabrics and colors, clothing styles also affect how cool we feel. For example, loose dresses or long skirts have better air circulation and are more cool and comfortable compared to tight pants. Sleeveless or short-sleeved tops allow our arms to be fully exposed to the air, helping to dissipate heat. In addition, V-neck or round-neck clothes are also more breathable than high-necked clothes.
7. Consider the Wearing Occasion
Although staying cool is very important, the wearing occasion is also a factor we need to consider. In some formal occasions, such as offices or business meetings, we may need to wear relatively formal clothing, such as shirts and suit pants. At this time, we can choose light and breathable shirt fabrics, such as light cotton shirts or silk shirts, and pair them with loose-fitting suit pants, which can maintain a certain sense of formality and take into account coolness and comfort. In casual occasions, we can more freely choose various cool and comfortable clothes, such as T-shirts, shorts, dresses, etc.
Clothing fabric selection
Natural Fibers
A. Cotton (non-pure cotton)
Strong hygroscopicity, comfortable, soft and washable. But cotton is easy to wrinkle, easy to shrink and easy to be stained. |
B. Linen (non-pure linen)
Linen clothing is breathable, cool and also highly moisture absorbent. However, its texture is hard, stiff, and easy to wrinkle. (except for the high-quality soft linen) |

C. Mulberry silk
Moisture absorbent, breathable, cozy, extremely soft, and anti-wrinkle. Compared with cotton linen, its price is much higher.
D. Natural Fiber Blended Fabrics
In order to take into account the advantages of natural fibers and make up for their shortcomings, we can choose natural fiber blended fabrics. For example, cotton-linen blended fabrics combine the softness and comfort of cotton with the breathability and coolness of linen, while also reducing the stiffness and wrinkle-prone shortcomings of linen. Silk blended with cotton or linen fabrics can reduce the high price of silk and make it more everyday.
Chemical Fiber
A. Chiffon
Chiffon can be divided into silk chiffon (100% mulberry silk ) and artificial silk (100% terylene). All basic features are as follows:- Texture is light and transparent. Feel soft, non-elastic, breathable and draped.
- Elegant, comfortable, wear-proof, uneasy to fuzzing and pilling, size is stable and anti-wrinkle.
B. Lace
The types of lace are numerous. However, whatever it's filament, monofilament, warp knitting or embroidered clothing, its texture is relatively light and pellucid.
C. Modal
Modal has a good softness and excellent moisture absorption. Its luster, softness, hygroscopicity, dyeing property, dye fastness is better than pure cotton (super-75% cotton contained ) products.
I believe, for many women, they all want to wear clothes to look pretty rather than losing heat or keeping cool. Right?
