I really don't like synthetics, especially stretch fabrics, in the summer. Gear-wise, I try to find non-stretchy supplex/tactel nylon for bottoms and stick with high-quality merino for insulating tops, or lightweight linen/cotton/hemp for sun protection. Polyester gets sooo gross. For casual wear, I stick entirely with plant fibers -- linen, cotton, hemp. I like the idea of silk but find that it gets a little too hot and sticky -- and is too high-maintenance for me. </p> <p>Also: loose/fluid cuts when possible. I prefer fitted and tailored looks when it's cooler; once it starts to warm up, I'm much more drawn to loose, breezy styles. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-fabrics#post-1653187 Sat, 30 Apr 2016 18:51:45 +0000 always trying 1653187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Recently read an article about sweating.&nbsp; Sweating is a word we sort of have an aversion too.&nbsp; Guess only guys are supposed to sweat outside the gym. But ladies, we all know we do in hot weather. One of the the things&nbsp;I hate is after sweating going into cold AC and freezing.</p> <p>The main thing I read is the worst thing we can wear in hot weather are&nbsp;jeans with spandex.&nbsp; In fact anything with spandex. Second worst is polyester.&nbsp; Even small amounts in the fabric blends are bad. easier to find casual wear&nbsp;that is all cotton, cotton linen, or all linen.&nbsp; Finding dressier items gets to be a real challenge.&nbsp; </p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
