Linen
Linen is another top choice for hot weather. Made from flax fibres, linen is highly breathable and dries quickly. Its slightly loose weave allows heat to escape easily.

Rayon
The semi-synthetic fabric is made from natural sources like wood pulp. It feels soft on the skin and is more breathable than many synthetic materials. Rayon drapes well & is commonly used in summers.

Chambray
If you love the look of denim but not the heaviness, Chambray is your go-to. It resembles denim but is much lighter and more breathable, making it suitable for casual summer outfits.

Bonus Tip!
While fabrics like polyester and nylon may look stylish, they tend to trap heat and moisture, leading to discomfort and excessive sweating. It’s best to limit their use during peak summer days.
