Choose the right summer clothing materials: wear breathable materials

A breathable material is one that lets your body heat pass to the outside. Because clothing is there to protect us from the outside, but when it’s hot, that means it doesn’t allow the body to naturally regulate its internal temperature to 37°C. If a garment retains the heat that your body is trying to evacuate, you will feel stiflingly hot and you will sweat like never before!

On the contrary, a breathable material will promote contact between the outside air and your skin , and let the heat of your body easily escape.

What material to choose so as not to be hot in summer?
