Summer collections in India need fabrics that feel cool on the skin and dry quickly. Fibre, weight and construction all play a part.
Good summer choices
- Cotton voile and cambric: light, open and breathable.
- Linen and linen blends: cool, with a natural texture.
- Viscose: soft and cool with an easy drape.
- Modal jersey: smooth and comfortable for tees and loungewear.
What to avoid
Heavy, tightly woven fabrics trap heat. If you use polyester, choose lighter qualities or moisture-wicking knits for activewear.
Specifying for summer
- Lower GSM
- Open weaves or light knits
- Light, fast colours that do not fade in sunlight
