Be it outdoor activities, vacation time, or events, the warm weather offered by the summer season makes all this possible. It is a time of relaxation, joy, experimentation, and making memories with friends and family. The hot and humid climate of the season demands men to embrace lightweight fabrics that offer breathability. Picking the right fabrics can help you stay cool and comfortable while looking good on hotter days.

Here is a list of the top 3 lightweight fabrics for men’s summer clothing:

• Cotton Fabric for Summer Clothing: Cotton clothes are preferred for summer because it is a breathable fabric that allows air to circulate. Cotton is an affordable fabric in comparison to other alternatives and it also absorbs sweat and keeps you dry and cool. Cotton clothes are soft and comfortable and feel great against the skin. Cotton is also a versatile fabric and apparel crafted from it can be worn for both casual and formal occasions. Cotton t-shirts, sweatshirts, and polo shirts are ideal for casual wear. Cotton jackets, blazers, and dress shirts are best suited to make you look great for formal occasions. Cotton is a natural fabric and hence biodegradable, making it a sustainable choice in comparison to synthetic fabrics.

• Rayon Fabric for Summer Apparel: Rayon is a lightweight, synthetic fabric that is perfect for summer. It mimics the look and feel of silk but is breathable making it a great choice for summer clothing. Rayon is also lightweight so it offers added comfort in the hot and humid climate of the season. Another reason why rayon is preferred during summer is that it dries quickly. So, if you sweat and make your shirt look wet, rest assured because it dries off quickly. Rayon shirts are ideal to be worn with shorts, jeans, and chinos alike.
