Even die-hard summer lovers will have to admit that when the temperatures climb to heights we're not used to, they can make even the calmest person go crazy.
If it were up to us, we'd be walking around in bathing suits all summer.
Except that it's not really up to us (and some would say that it's good that it is...).
We researched the issue and found that with the help of conscious choices and the application of a number of smart tips, you can upgrade your wardrobe, adapt to the conditions and feel comfortable even on the hottest summer days.
How do you choose a favorite fabric?
The type of fabric significantly affects the feeling on hot days and a fabric that does not allow the body to breathe causes a feeling of suffocation and may become a serious nightmare, especially for those who tend to sweat.
The fabrics can be divided into two main types: synthetic fabrics and natural fabrics.
The natural fabrics are more breathable and pleasant and we definitely recommend to prefer the summer clothes made from them, even though sometimes their price is higher.
Which fabrics belong to the group of natural fabrics?
Cotton
- the cotton fabric is one of the most popular fabrics, especially during the summer.
It is characterized by a particularly high absorption capacity, it is pleasant to the touch and comfortable to wear.
The cotton fabric is accessible and available in many summer clothes and comes in a variety of textures.
Linen
- Linen is a light and very special fabric made from completely natural fibers.
It is comfortable to wear and does not stick to the body.
Among its advantages: high durability and it is an excellent solution for those prone to light problems or allergies.
Its notable disadvantage is that it is a very thin fabric and needs ironing.
Silk
- Silk is a very pleasant fabric to the touch.
It is light and "flowing" and has a special shine.
It is considered a luxury fabric and it also belongs to the group of natural fabrics.
Viscose
- viscose is a natural fabric and its price is lower than linen or silk.
This is why it can be found in a large selection of clothes.
Despite its good absorbency, it does not oppress the body and is a good choice for summer clothes.
Which fabrics are recommended not to touch during the summer?
Fabrics containing a high percentage of synthetic fibers do not allow the body to breathe and may cause excessive sweating, stick to our skin and cause unpleasant skin irritations.
This category includes fabrics containing nylon fibers and fabrics containing a high percentage of synthetic polyester.
These fabrics are relatively cheap and do not wrinkle, so tend to use them.
Do not be tempted to buy summer clothes that are sewn from them, you will pay the price in discomfort and excessive sweating.
Our recommendation: when you choose a new garment for the summer, don't be satisfied with its appearance.
Examine the composition of the fabric and make decisions accordingly.
It will pay off for you later.
We chose natural fabrics. what about the color
The second most important factor affecting the suitability of clothing for summer is the color of the clothing.
Many people intuitively choose clothes with bright, pastel and bright colors.
The reason may be the desire to highlight the tanned skin tone, but there is no doubt that these colors are more pleasant to wear in the summer since they do not store the heat in them.
The cobbler does not go barefoot
If we could, we would walk around barefoot the entire summer.
This is why the overwhelming choice of flip-flops as our favorite footwear item is undisputed.
Because of the heat, because of a tendency to sweat in the feet and because of the obvious need to ventilate them.
The new generation of comfort flip-flops for women from the "Ipanema" company provides us with additional reasons to overwhelmingly prefer them over any other option and to crown them as our ultimate winning choice for the Israeli summer in the field of footwear.
Both beautiful and vegan and environmentally friendly.

More must-have products for the summer
We are flooded with many advertisements of innovative and unique products for the summer.
They promise to relieve us of the oppressive heat in the summer and some of them even deliver.
Here are some examples you may not have heard of yet:
Thermal water spray.
Calms, moisturizes and especially refreshes the skin.
Its use is soothing and helps prevent skin irritations and phenomena resulting from excessive sweating and heat.
Powder to apply on the body after showering.
The goal: to absorb moisture and wetness and to eliminate unpleasant odors.
The powder does not contain talc and the menthol in it helps to feel fresh and cold.
Special mascara is resistant to sweat and therefore does not smear or crumble even when sweating.
How was this not thought of before?
A special cooling vest for dogs to protect against the intense heat (they deserve it too, don't they?)
A personal fan that connects to your cell phone and is charged by connecting to it
Cooling ice towel: a towel that freezes in contact with water.
All you have to do is wet it.
Who does sports in the summer and would resist one of these in the bag?
Whether you are die-hard summer fans or whether you sit and wait for the "after the holidays" period to arrive and bring autumn with it, you will surely agree with us that a smart choice of clothing items, footwear and related accessories can help us all get through the hot days in a pleasant way.
This way we can enjoy the many benefits of summer to the maximum.
