New Delhi, April 5 (IANS). The temperature in many parts of the country is increasing rapidly. In such a situation, what kind of clothes to wear amidst the scorching sun, humidity and heat wave is a big problem. There is no better option than cotton clothes to protect from the scorching heat.
In summer when the maximum temperature reaches 45 degrees, wearing wrong clothes can cause sweat, stickiness and irritation. Experts advise to always wear light cotton clothes in this season. Right clothes not only provide comfort to the body but also keep the mind calm. When the body remains cool and dry, irritability is reduced. Wearing cotton clothes makes the mind feel light and refreshed, which makes the whole day pass better. Cotton clothes not only provide comfort in the summer season, but are also durable and eco-friendly. Since ancient times, grandmothers have been advising to wear cotton clothes during the summer season.
Now the question is why only cotton cloth? Cotton cloth is completely natural. It does not contain any chemicals or synthetic fibres. Its biggest quality is that it allows air to pass through easily. That is to say, it is a breathable fabric. This keeps the skin cool and dry even in strong sunlight. The second big advantage is that cotton cloth absorbs sweat very well. Sweat spreads through clothes and dries quickly when exposed to air. This keeps the body cool and does not cause stickiness. At the same time, synthetic clothes like polyester or nylon do not absorb sweat. Sweat remains accumulated on the skin, which causes problems like prickly heat, itching and bad smell of sweat.
Cotton clothes are light, soft and skin friendly. These are very comfortable for everyday use. These can be worn casually or formally. Stripes, checks and plain designs are available in cotton fabrics, combining both tradition and modern fashion.
Along with clothes, choice of colors is also very important in summer. The color of clothes also affects warmth. In summer, light colors like white, light pink, sky blue and light yellow, cream are considered best. These colors reflect the sun’s rays, making the body less hot. Dark colors like black, navy blue or dark red absorb more heat and make the body hotter. Therefore, choosing light colored cotton clothes is the best option during the summer season.
