4 of the Coolest Fabrics to Wear in the Summer
When summer comes around, you soon find that not all the fabrics you wear are the same. While some clothing keeps you feeling cool and fresh in the summer heat, others leave you feeling hot and stuffy.

You can avoid this discomfort and stay cool in the summer by wearing clothing made from one of these fabrics.
Discover a collection of limited edition silk fashion accessories.
1. Cotton
Cotton is probably one of the best fabrics you can wear in the summer. A lot of clothing is made out of cotton on account of the fabric being lightweight and cool.

Cotton is also an absorbent fabric, so it will absorb more sweat than other materials. This will keep you cool, but you will probably have to wash your cotton clothing more often when you wear them in the summer.
2. Linen
Linen, as a natural fibre, keeps you cool in the summer by allowing heat to escape your body. It is also absorbent like cotton, but unlike cotton the fabric dries much faster.

Linen is a flexible fabric, but also wrinkles easily when worn. Be careful with how you store your linen clothing.
3. Chambray
Chambray is great because it looks a lot like denim. However, the fabric is lightweight and much cooler than denim. Most people replace their denim clothing with chambray in the summer.
But be warned; chambray tends to be of darker shades then other fabrics on this list. Because of it's color, it absorbs more sunlight and can make you warmer in the summer when worn on sunny days.
4. Silk
Like cotton, silk is also a light and cool fabric to wear, but not as absorbent, so sweat stains are less of a problem. It's a good thing too, since most silk clothing has to be washed by hand.

You will not find a lot of clothing made out of only silk, but there are a lot of fashion accessories made out of the fabric, from scarves to neckties, that come out in the summer. Because the fabric is so lightweight, you almost forget you're wearing a silk accessory.
