- For an all-around fresh wearing experience -

Finally summer, finally time again for light fabrics and airy cuts! Down, fleece and co. disappear into the closet and we look forward to delicate materials in which we feel comfortable all day long.

For summer fabrics to prevent sweating even when the thermometer climbs extremely high, they must meet special requirements. Moisture-regulating and air-permeable properties are particularly important, for example. If heat builds up under the clothes and body moisture cannot escape, we literally stew in our own juice: an unpleasant feeling that everyone can do without. In addition, odors quickly develop: we don't want to inflict that on ourselves or others.

Fortunately, there are light fabrics for the warm season that easily meet the requirements mentioned above. Silk, for example, is one of them.

Silk is incredibly light and comfortable to wear even in great heat. It even has a slightly cooling effect and gives us a wonderfully fresh feeling. Cotton and linen are also light fabrics that are well suited for summer. Especially with cotton, however, there are big differences.

For autumn and winter, a firm and heavy quality is mainly offered, while cotton for summer is much finer and airier. The fiber can absorb moisture very well and is wonderfully breathable: perfect for summer shirts, tunics and dresses! Summer fabrics like linen are also very popular. Although linen fibers wrinkle quite quickly, they also have moisture-regulating as well as dirt and odor-repellent properties. And then there's viscose. The fabrics feel as pleasant on the skin as silk and are often extremely delicate. They also drape very beautifully, which is a big advantage especially for blouses, dresses and skirts.

However, summer fabrics alone are not enough for an airy feeling, because the cuts must also match the season. Tight-fitting clothing should be taboo in summer, for example. The reason: the skin cannot breathe underneath, which leads to a so-called sauna effect. For some people, too-tight clothing can even lead to hot flashes and circulatory problems in high temperatures. Loose-fitting fabrics are therefore always the better choice. This allows a gust of wind or two to reach the skin, and you immediately feel much more comfortable.

Summer fabrics and dark colors like black and dark blue: that doesn't really go well together! Instead, choose light tones. After all, black absorbs sunlight while white reflects it. Whether solid-colored, patterned or with cheerful prints doesn't matter at all: the main thing is that the look exudes summery lightness and freshness. There is one exception, however: for people with sensitive skin, dark and light fabrics can be useful. Black offers better sun protection compared to white.

The right summer fabrics, cuts and colors will get you through the day and night comfortably even in high temperatures. By the way: with us you will find up-to-date light fabrics for the warm season! Discover your favorite look from Féraud now!
