Although autumn has begun, it is far from coming out. In the hot summer, how should we choose clothes that suit our body?
In fact, for a piece of clothing, design and fabric are equally important. Design is the effect presented by the combination of various elements, while fabric is the premise and foundation of design. The two complement each other and are indispensable.
But if I have to choose between two when purchasing, I will choose fabric. Because fabric is the key to determining the success or failure of a design, it includes texture, pattern, color, etc., which will have a greater impact on the style of the clothes.
Take the common basic T-shirt in summer as an example. The same style, the same design, but the texture presented by different fabrics gives people a completely different feeling.
Like a silk T-shirt, although the texture is soft and skin-friendly, the fabric is too light and thin. In addition to being easy to show through, it also feels like pajamas because the upper body is soft and has no silhouette.
The styles that can be worn in daily life are relatively limited, and some silk fabrics have a clear pearlescent feel , it will look earthy and old-fashioned if you are not careful.
In addition, you need to be careful with daily washing,
Otherwise, it will become hooked and deformed every minute.
While cotton T-shirts are slightly less breathable and soft than silk ones It’s a little thin, but the fabric is comfortable enough to be skin-friendly and has a certain thickness. The upper body has a more silhouette and texture, making it relatively practical and versatile.
It is no problem to machine wash it on a daily basis. It is very practical and easy to take care of. It has a relatively High cost performance.
Another point is the high frequency of wearing and washing in summer, which is also one of the main testing factors for clothing.
If you only care about whether the design of the clothes is good-looking, you don’t consider whether the fabric is durable or durable. It is washable. If you choose cheap fabrics in order to save money, don’t be too upset if a new piece of clothing becomes longer and larger after a few wears, and the neckline becomes a lotus collar.
So fabrics are particularly important in comparison.
For example, the most common thing to buy in summer is T-shirts, but they are “transparent” and “easy to wrinkle” “Easy to deform” are the issues we are most concerned about when purchasing T-shirts, especially now that many of them are purchased online, and it is impossible to judge the quality just by looking at the picture.
After buying many T-shirts from a wide range of choices, you will either be surprised at first glance. It’s either showing through, or it looks good, but it gets wrinkled and deformed after just a few washes, and the quality is terrible. No matter how beautiful the design is, the favorability will be greatly reduced. So when buying clothes, of course, choose ones with better fabrics, such as heavyweight cotton T-shirts.
Generally, the fabric weight of T-shirts is around 200G (such as a certain clothing store, a certain ara, a T-shirt from a fast fashion brand such as &m). Although the fabric is light and breathable, it is easy to show through, and it is not very washable. The collar and length begin to wrinkle and deform after being worn a few times.
The fabric weight of heavy T-shirts is 220G (common ones are 230G/ 250G/300G) or above, the cotton texture is thick and full, and it will not show any leakage and make people feel embarrassed even when wearing a white T-shirt.
The neckline is still threaded, and there are also two/three/four needles and other craftsmanship and The reinforced strips make the upper body stiff and textured, and not squishy like pajamas.
Even if you throw it into the washing machine every day and violently machine wash it, it will not easily become wrinkled or deformed. And it only costs a few dozen yuan a piece, so you can wear it for several years in the summer.
So specifically, the fabrics for buying clothes in summer are as follows: The first one is Cotton and linen.
Cotton and linen are natural fabrics. When worn on the body, it is like clothes that can breathe. It is light and breathable, with an elegant sense of luxury. It seems to be born for summer. It can block the heat and pass on the coolness. The key is that it can also absorb sweat. For those who don’t like to get wet all over. Undoubtedly a good choice.
The advantages are: good air permeability, hygroscopicity, heat dissipation and moisture removal can make The indoor temperature of the human body drops by 4-6℃, which is called “natural air conditioning”. Disadvantages: poor wrinkle resistance and rough fabric feel.
The second one is silk. When it comes to luxury, silk is absolutely indispensable. It has a soft texture. , the color is gorgeous, anyone will fall in love with it. Nothing can make a woman embody her noble and elegant temperament better than silk. As a delicate woman, how can she not be without a silk item.
Advantages: The fabric is smooth and easy to wear.It is comfortable, has certain UV resistance, good sound absorption and breathability.
Disadvantages: The anti-wrinkle performance is slightly worse than that of chemical fiber fabrics. “It is not real silk if it does not wrinkle” It is said that it wrinkles after washing and needs to be ironed to make it crisp, elegant and beautiful.
The third one is chiffon. Chiffon is a kind of chemical fiber fabric, the most common one is polyester. As raw material, due to differences in manufacturing technology, the quality of chiffon is also divided into good and bad.
Advantages: Anti-wrinkle, elegant, good drape, cool. The shortcomings are also obvious. After sweating, low-quality polyester is easy to stick to the flesh due to its “poor hygroscopicity” and is very stuffy.
The next step is pure cotton. Pure cotton clothes are made of cotton as raw material, including fine velvet cotton. Different from long-staple cotton, the fabric is soft and comfortable and has natural and environmentally friendly cotton fibers.
The advantage is that it is hygroscopic and breathable, cool and comfortable, and will not cause skin allergies. The disadvantages are that it wrinkles easily, shrinks and deforms easily, lacks elasticity, and easily sticks to hair, making it difficult to completely remove.
The fifth is ice silk, whose raw material comes from man-made fiber – viscose fiber.
Advantages: smooth, cool, breathable, antistatic, it retains natural fibers such as cotton fiber At the same time, the hygroscopicity meets the physiological requirements of the skin, the color is gorgeous, the dye fastness is good, etc., it is comfortable to wear and skin-friendly, not stuffy, and it is also resistant to ultraviolet rays.
Disadvantages: It is easy to harden and deform when exposed to water.
Finally, if you can choose clothes that are both stylish and comfortable to wear, you will undoubtedly It is one of the joys of life.
If you can’t have your cake and eat it too, then a better wearing experience and comfortable fabrics It is the best choice.
