Want to slay this summer while staying cool? These five fabrics will help you stay cool while still looking stylish.

Hello my Four Sides TV Fashion Fam!  

It's summertime again, and how many of you recall the days in childhood when our mothers would dress us in summer clothes, buy us seasonal fruits, and take us to visit our grandparents? Let's go back to those fabrics that were popular in the past and also look at some contemporary options that are nice and cozy for this summer. When we think about summer fabrics, cotton immediately comes to mind because we have all seen our family wearing cotton dresses, sarees, suits, and other clothing. However, there are many more materials that are quite skin-friendly and convenient to wear this summer, such as Khadi, linen, chambray, and rayon. Because of their comparable qualities, these might likewise serve in place of cotton. Let's begin by discussing the qualities and attributes of cotton.

Cotton: 

For an extremely long time, cotton has been the ideal material of choice for summer clothing. The body's ability to breathe is greatly aided by its inherent qualities. Cotton is a naturally occurring fabric derived from plants. Cotton fabric feels natural on your skin, and its durability makes it a popular choice for clothes. Cotton fibers can be dyed in any color and maintain the dye effectively. As a result, it is a versatile fiber that may be used for a variety of applications. It can be woven in three different ways: plain weave (chambray and gingham), twill weave (denim and khaki), and satin weave (satin).

Linen:

Linen fabric is used in a wide range of products, including clothes, bedding, curtains, and accessories. For thousands of years, linen has been one of the most sustainable materials. Unlike other synthetic fabrics, the production of linen does not use any dangerous chemicals or generate any toxic waste. For thousands of years, linen has been one of the most sustainable materials. Unlike other synthetic fabrics, the production of linen does not use any dangerous chemicals or generate any toxic waste. One of the key advantages of producing linen fiber is that the flax plant (the plant that produces linen fiber) requires less water and pesticides, making it the most sustainable source of fiber. Linen is also a durable, breathable and rustic fabric that gives an elegant look.

Chambray:

Ditch denims in this hot weather and jump to Chambray , which provides a sophisticated appeal while being comfortable. Chambray is a cool textile that provides comfort, style, and fashion all in one. It is a cotton plain weave fabric manufactured with a colored warp yarn and a white filler yarn that resembles denim. Chambray is generally a light blue fabric, however it comes in a variety of colors. This material's softer texture and thinner construction make it ideal for the summer, keeping the body cool and breathable. It is mostly similar to cotton. Again, there are three varieties of Chambrays in use: Cambric, Batiste, and Chambray. Although Cambric has a similar weave to Chambray, it is softer and lighter. Like cambric, batiste is a delicate fabric that is woven from cotton or linen. Its basic weave is well-balanced.

Rayon/Viscose:

Rayon is derived from cellulose, a natural resource, it is considered as a man-made fiber because it is chemically changed to meet the requirements and specifications of the end result. Rayon fabric is cool, smooth, pleasant, and extremely absorbent, hence it works best in hot and humid weather. It also feels cool, almost slimy, to the touch. Rayon material is frequently said to have comfort and durable qualities comparable to those of natural fibers. While rayon is very absorbent and easy to dye, viscose feels and looks like cotton. Although the materials used in the production of rayon and viscose are different, the technique is the same. While cellulose from a variety of plants can be used to make rayon, wood pulp or cotton linter are used to make viscose.

Khadi:

Khadi is a multipurpose fabric well-known for its special ability to keep one warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Khadi was significant to the history of our country.

Many of us learned in our childhood days how Gandhi, during the liberation struggle, turned the spinning charkha into a national emblem. In a technical sense, khadi can refer to any naturally occurring hand-spun and hand-woven fabric, including wool, jute, cotton, and silk. Although mill-made fabric is necessary to meet the Indian market's demands for textiles, khadi is a priceless craft that is intricately linked to India's history. It is very sustainable, which is very significant. Absorbency level of khadi is good where as flexibility is comparatively low.
