Fabrics to wear in a heatwave ☀️

Hot girl summer starts with the right fabric! ☀️

With another heatwave on the horizon here in the UK, here’s a few things you should be wearing to keep you cool this summer, and things you really shouldn’t!

We’ll be floating around in our Liberty Tana Lawn dresses this week 👗

✅ Lawn – big yes!

Super fine, lightweight cotton that feels like wearing almost nothing!

Liberty Tana Alan is the gold standard. It’s soft, floaty and genuinely gorgeous to wear in this heat.

✅ Linen

Every wardrobe needs a staple pair of linen trousers!

It may wrinkle but linen actively pulls heat away from your skin to keep you cool ❄️

✅ Cotton

A summer staple. Cotton is breathable and allows heat to escape from your body.

✅ Chambray

Gives the classic denim look without being heavy 

Chambray absorbs moisture well and dries quickly.

❌ Polyester – big no no!

Doesn’t breathe, traps heat and makes everything worse 😩

Keep away from polyester this summer.

❌ Nylon

Synthetic and clingy and about as breathable as a plastic bag 🤣

Traps heat and moisture!

❌ Acrylic 

Very sweaty! The worst offender after polyester 😩
