Sleeveless tops and Capri pants are some challenges companies face because of the warm weather.

If you wear them, you might think that less clothing on a body will help you stay cooler. However, that’s not true.

The same reasoning goes if it’s cold outside and you want to stay warm. Wearing layers of clothing will not always keep you stay warm, either.

The key to staying cool or warm is fabric. Natural fabrics will help you stay cooler when it’s hot and keep you warm when you layer clothing.

Cotton and linen are great to wear when it is warm. Covering your skin in cotton will help retain moisture and protect you from the sun. The lighter the weave, the cooler it will be on your skin.

Layered heavyweight cotton will keep you warmer than polyester, rayon or viscose.

Cashmere and wool are also great fabrics to wear in the cold climates.

You can manage your temperature sensitivity by being aware of your fabric choices. When you do this you always be in control, no matter what the temperature.
