What should I wear this summer? Cool fabrics to survive the heat

High temperatures have equal parts supporters and detractors. But whatever your position, one thing is clear: your outfit can help you fight (or enjoy) the heat.

Shortly ago we analyzed the Spring-Summer 2021 trends in fabrics. You can retrieve all the information here..

Perforated fabrics: Eyelet

Las Perforated fabrics, also known as Eyelet , are those that have small holes in their shape that give shapes to the fabric and allow air to pass through. They are usually made of 100% cotton, so they are very fresh and breathable.

  • KEILA; Reference: 03323-0101. 100% ALGODÓN perforated fabric.

Cotton Fabrics

We do not forget the fabrics that are properly 100% cotton. And although the previous fabrics are usually made of cotton, the ones we present now are not perforated.

Cotton fabrics have the characteristic of absorbing humidity and transpiring. It is a natural fiber, a good conductor of heat, very durable and easy to wash with which to make dresses, blouses or pants, for example.

  • HARU; Reference: 02757/46-0717. 100% COTTON fabric with polka dots of 1,30 cm.

Linen Effect Fabrics

For many people, wearing linen is synonymous with summer. But many times we do not dare because we are worried about linen wrinkles. However, we can opt for solutions that include linen in its composition or other fresh compositions that are yarn effect, such as these:

  • INARA; Reference: 03388-0413. Smooth fabric, linen-like appearance. Composition: 50% RAYON/ 35% POLYESTER/ 13% NYLON/ 2% SPANDEX.
  • CHAY; Reference: 03319/02-0101. Fabric with thread effect printed flowers, a little elastic and soft, 95% RAYON/ 5% SPANDEX.

Linen Fabrics

Surely one of the classics of every summer, thanks to its comfort and freshness. Made of natural fiber, it is a heat conductive fabric, of vegetable origin and that does not present static.

  • CLICHY COLOR; Reference: 02002/1-0101. Fabric: 100% LINEN.
  • SARIL; Reference: 03325/01-0002. Fabric 80% RAYON and 20% LINEN, with printed polka dots.

Rayon and Viscose fabrics

Known as artificial silk, rayon is a great choice for summer. And although it is not a natural fabric, its thin threads bring us that much-needed freshness. Soft and pleasant to the touch with a great drape.

  • ESTEPONA; Reference: 03087/16-0205. Soft 100% RAYON fabric with floral print and lots of drape.
  • ROTA; Reference: 03614/05-0707. Fabric 85% RAYON/ 15% LINEN with floral print.

Its sister viscose fabric also provides the same freshness, as well as lightness, comfort and softness. The difference lies in the fact that viscose is a cellulosic acetate..

  • VISCOSA; Reference: 01652-0005. Plain fabric 100% VISCOSA.
