Dressing appropriately during the hot summer months is essential to avoid heat-related illnesses. The skin, being the biggest organ of the human body, should be pampered with good care. The high temperatures and humidity levels during the summer months increase the amount of sweat the body produces to try to cool off the body. That is why summer clothes should be made of fabrics that can breathe to help pull moisture away from the body and allow it to evaporate. Make sure that your clothes are breathable, lightweight, light colored, and loose-fitting.
Keep in mind that sheer lightweight fabrics provide relief from the soaring temperature. The best fabric for summer clothes is one that soaks up sweat giving you a cool feeling. These fabrics are thinner, soft in texture, and make you feel cool and comfortable. Selecting the fabric is the first step towards gearing up for the summer.
Cotton is the most preferred fabric for maximizing ventilation to the body. It is a natural fiber with a soft texture that absorbs perspiration, and is available in a variety of design and patterns all through the summer months. Cotton outfits in variety of colors optimize stylish elegance and cool flair. Another option to wear during the summer is fabrics made of cotton and polyester blend with a bigger portion of cotton. The advantage of blended fabric is that polyester needs not to be ironed while cotton will keep the body cool.
Denim is also a common summer fabric, and since it is made from tightly woven cotton, it is breathable and sweat-absorbent. Just make sure that you go for lightweight denim for keeping cool. Linen is also a breathable fabric and qualifies as a summer fabric. Summer clothes made from good quality linen are soft, and can easily absorb and lose perspiration.
With regards to colors, it is ideal to choose light colors for summer clothes. White is considered a summer season color, and ensures a relatively high level of ultraviolet radiation protection. Light color fabrics, especially white color, are light, airy, and have a versatile appeal. It can also be matched easily with any other color.
The whole purpose of summer outfits is to feel light and comfortable. Tracks, capris, tank tops, t-shirts, pant ensembles, sundresses, lacy skirts, and even micro minis should all form part of your summer closet. It is important to get creative and experiment with your clothes. With a bit of resourcefulness, you can turn a regular summer dress into a dressy outfit. Of course appropriate accessories, heeled sandals, and some make-up can turn a flowery slip dress into an evening outfit.
Comfy shorts are also fashionable acceptable during the hot summer months. Depending on the physique of your body, fat or slim and the comfort level, select super short, modest Bermudas to long crops. A couple of tanks in various colors and patterns can be mixed and matched with other tops, jackets, under shirts, and other dresses. Sleeveless, short-sleeves, or spaghetti strap shirts or tops in stripes or floral design offer a wide selection of options for your summer clothes.
