Seersucker
A thin fabric made out of cotton, it is woven in a way that it doesn’t stick to the skin. So, it helps in heat dissipation and air circulation. One can get shirts, shorts and even pants made out of this fabric.
Chambray
Woven out of cotton, this fabric is lightweight and extremely comfortable to wear.
It has natural hues of denim, and yet, a chambray shirt weighs half of what a denim shirt would. It’s also good to make suits out of, or even a casual summer jacket.
Silk
This is known as an all-weather fabric. The fact that it is lighter than cotton and can absorb around 30% of its weight in moisture without feeling damp makes it a good option for summer. Shirts in silk are a good option.
