Selecting The Best Fabrics
When it comes to summer fashion, the two most breathable fabrics are cotton and linen. They’re woven (aka no stretch), so if you prefer your clothes to move with you, make sure to get a blend. That means the content tag should have linen or cotton and spandex on the list. The most breathable pieces will be 100% cotton or 100% linen, but will have little to no stretch. Sizing up is suggested for more fitted woven styles.
