Wondering how to dress in the summer? Well, the thing boils down not to "how", but "in what" – what counts is the choice of the right types of fabrics. You do not know what materials to reach for? Don't worry, we're here to help! We present you a ranking in which we have included the best fabrics for the summer – ideal for wearing in hot weather.

Why is a good material for the summer so important?

Consumer awareness of the quality of the materials and clothes we wear is constantly growing. Undoubtedly, this is an extremely positive trend! On the Internet you can find a lot of guides on what fabrics to avoid, and which will help to cope with high temperatures. There are also many specialized publications describing the properties of individual materials.

It is worth knowing that the raw material composition should be a decisive factor when choosing fabrics for the summer. The most important thing when choosing summer materials is their lightness and breathability, which guarantee high comfort of wearing clothes made of them.

The best fabrics for the summer

The right material for the summer is important and it is worth remembering! The pleasure of wearing summer creations definitely increases when we feel good in them – and this is how you can feel by covering the body with airy and skin-friendly fabrics. Our clothes should not put additional strain on us, especially during hot weather.

Cotton

Cotton will work universally most of the year, but especially well in summer, due to its hygroscopic properties. This means that cotton fabrics perfectly cope with the absorption of moisture, which in the summer accumulates on the skin in the form of sweat. Cotton is characterized by good air permeability and durability – it is resistant to care treatments and easy to iron.

We recommend a wide selection of cotton fabrics.

Flax

Linen fabrics for the summer are primarily airy, delicate to the touch and do not electrify. Depending on the thickness, the material can be used to sew canvas trousers or an airy shirt. Linen also has a high hygroscopicity. It is worth noting, however, that linen is very susceptible to the formation of creases, which is why it is best to iron it when the material is still slightly moist after washing.

Silk

Silk fabrics can be used all year round, because they provide thermal comfort regardless of the prevailing weather conditions or temperature. This means that in winter silk clothing will protect the body from heat loss, and in summer heat it will keep the skin cool. Silk perfectly absorbs moisture, and its interesting property is that it does not become heavier.

In our offer we recommend excellent silk.

Viscose

Fabrics made of cellulose, or viscose, are very airy and skin-friendly. They are ideal even in times of oppressive heat. They absorb moisture well, let air through, and at the same time look elegant. Depending on the type of finish – matte or smooth and glossy, they will check for sewing virtually all elements of summer clothing, such as trousers, skirts, blouses or capes.

Our offer includes a selection of viscose fabrics in various colors.

In addition to the type of material, it is also worth paying attention to its weave. It is he who decides whether a given fabric is light and airy, or heavier, with a stiffer structure. Dress fabrics for the summer can be translucent and airy or covering and better holding the form, such as:

• muslin, which ensures optimal air circulation, is soft and delicate, thanks to which it is also suitable for sewing everyday clothing and children's clothes,
