The best fabrics for summer – what to wear on hot days?

Fabrics for summer – what to wear?

In summer, when temperatures are soaring, pay attention not only to the materials of your clothes, but also to their colour. It may seem trivial, but in summer, it is better to choose light colours that reflect the sun’s rays. So opt for pastel colours, whites and beiges. To avoid discomfort, choose looser styles that will keep you comfortable. What to wear then? Read on! We’ve put together a selection of fabrics that are perfect for summer.

Linen

It is a fibre of natural origin that is considered eco-friendly because it does not require a large amount of chemicals. What are the characteristics of this fabric? First of all, it provides air circulation and wicks away moisture ensuring dryness. It is a fabric that will be ideal for allergy sufferers. In addition, it is very durable and does not electrify, making it a great companion for summer styling. In the S’portofino offer you will find an interesting pair of linen trousers by Joslin. The palazzo trousers in beige are a very fashionable choice for summer. They are made from European Flax® linen, which will provide you with a high level of comfort even on the hottest days. It is worth mentioning that the wide legs are very fashionable right now and will go well with the Inuikia Multilace Slide flip-flops in a light shade. For this ensemble, we suggest the Joslin Emaline linen top in the same shade as the trousers and a Muun Abby Xl basket to complete the trendy summer look. Linen dresses for summer are a hit! We suggest pairing Ivana’s linen white dress with buff sleeves and Leoi’s Birkenstock Madrid Big Buckle flip-flops. Don’t forget accessories to spice up your summer styling. At S’portofino you will find an interesting selection of hats by Catarzi and sunglasses by Bogner.

Viscose

It is a first-generation artificial cellulose fibre of natural origin. Viscose is very breathable and soft. The material absorbs moisture very well, protects the skin from overheating and does not irritate the skin. In addition, garments made from viscose are flexible, so they emphasise the silhouette beautifully. In the S"portofino collection you will find viscose dresses that allow you to stand out from the crowd. This is exactly what the Sportalm dress is! It has an eye-catching print, a button fastening and a maxi length. We"ve matched it with Inuikia Multilace Slide sliders, the very trendy MUUN SOPHIE basket and the Seafolly Coastal Raffia Hat to protect you from the sun.

Cotton

Natural, airy, very soft. More and more people are choosing cotton clothing for warm days. It is worth noting that cotton also has hygroscopic properties - it absorbs moisture very well. In addition, it is resistant to stretching, allows the skin to breathe freely and above all: it is not allergenic. If you like to wear bold colours in summer, then our suggestion should appeal to you. The Waimari Coqueta dress is downright perfect for a summer get-together with friends. Made from a lightweight cotton fabric with a very fashionable embroidered floral motif in an orange shade, pair with Inuikii SoftCrossed sliders and trendy accessories in the form of a hat and glasses, you are sure to get noticed! The Waimari brand is a newcomer to the S’portofino offering that combines the classic with the modern. The brand offers beautiful beach and evening dresses in which you will feel extremely feminine.

Silk

It is a stretchable material, very breathable and friendly to those with sensitive skin. Silk has hygroscopic properties but tends to stick to the body, so opt for looser cuts. Silk dresses in summer are quite popular. We"ve chosen the Camilla Wide Sleeve Gathered Silk Dress in leopard print with a loose fit that will give you freedom of movement. You can pair it with Manebi Leather Sandals and an ivory grass Muun George basket woven in Ghana. If silk dresses are the hit of the summer for you, take a look at the entire range from the Camilla brand. You will find many dresses made of silk with interesting motifs.

What fabrics to avoid in summer?

Now that we’ve discussed fabrics that are ideal for hot weather, it"s also worth knowing the fabrics that are better avoided in summer. Don"t wear unwoven, thick fabrics as they can lead to overheating and cause a lot of discomfort and excessive sweating. During summer days, avoid clothes that have mainly:

polyester - this is a synthetic material that does not wick away moisture, leading to a lot of sweating;
nylon/elastane - another synthetic fabric which can lead to overheating and increase perspiration, but is widely used in the textile industry; it is worth pointing out that it is an ingredient in many other materials, so in summer choose those with the least amount of these materials in their composition;
acrylic - a wool substitute that enhances the feeling of warmth.
