5 Linen Dresses That Are Perfect For Warmer Climates
If you live in a warm climate, you already understand how important it is to wear clothes made from the right fabric. When it gets warm, you sweat, and if your clothes are made of materials like cotton, they stick to your body, making you feel uncomfortable. You can avoid this by wearing linen dresses.
Made from cellulose fibers found in the stalks of the flax plant, linen is one of the best natural fabrics in the world. It is also one of the oldest as Ancient Egyptians first made it. The wealthy mainly wore linen clothing, probably because the plant took long to mature and required skilled garment-makers to craft them.
Why linen clothes are suitable for a warm climate
Linen dresses, blouses, tunics, shirts, and trousers are perfect for the summer or warmer climates. Here are some reasons why:
They get rid of moisture
Moisture-wicking clothes are ideal for hot weather. When you sweat, the absorbent linen fabric quickly removes moisture from your body. Because of its molecular structure, linen doesn’t get damp easily as it releases moisture as soon as it absorbs it. Research shows that it can absorb up to 20% of its weight before it starts to feel sticky.
So if you’re out there and it feels as though you’re inside an oven, you can always count on your linen clothes to wick away your sweat. This way, your clothing won’t be clammy, and you will stay dry and cosy. This property makes the linen fabric act as a cooling system for your body.
Linen clothes are long-lasting
You can easily overspend on clothing, especially if you usually don’t have linen on your shopping list when going to a store. Linen provides the durability you need.
Linen is actually the strongest natural fabric, and this gives it an edge over materials like synthetic fiber. Garments made from other materials may wear out and lose their quality every time they are washed. The opposite happens with linen.
Instead of losing its quality, linen becomes softer and more comfortable to wear after washing. So, with linen, you can say goodbye to going out to buy new and fresh clothes every few weeks.
Linen is breathable
Linen gets its breathability from its natural fibers and weave. Synthetic fabrics typically have poor breathability meaning the clothes become sticky when you sweat. If you have to go out every day or work in an environment that exposes you to heat, such material will only worsen your days.
The fibers used to make linen improve the air floor so the fabric will never stick to your body even when your sweat. The good airflow helps reduce perspiration and keeps you cool and comfy.
Conducts heat
Aside from increasing airflow and absorbing moisture, linen is a great conductor of heat. This means it takes heat away from your body into the air, keeping you cool. What’s more, this fabric reflects heat.
Antiallergic
Since it is made of natural material, linen has antiallergic properties and can help prevent skin disorders such as eczema. It’s also ideal for people with dry skin. Note that hot weather can worsen allergic reactions.
Why wear linen dresses?
They’re versatile - You can wear linen dresses for any event. It doesn’t matter whether you are going shopping with the girls, a date, or picnicking with your family. These linen dresses come in many styles, so you can always find one that matches your wearables or occasion.
Fashionable - the timelessness of linen dresses makes them unique. The fact that linen clothes have been worn for thousands of years is testament to their excellent quality. Therefore, even if you are unsure what to wear for an occasion, you can always put on your linen dress and look chic and confident.
They’re easy to care for - Linen dresses do not require as much attention as dresses made from other fabrics. All you need is cold water. Avoid using detergents containing optical whiteners or bleach as they can weaken the linen. You can dry the dresses naturally or use a tumble dryer. Remember, you do not need to iron linen dresses to make them look fantastic. Top-quality linen clothes are usually a bit wrinkly, and that’s what makes them stylish.
