Which fabrics are best for Indian summers?
Cotton, linen, khadi, mulmul and chambray, in loose weaves and light colours. They breathe and absorb sweat, while polyester traps heat. A loose silhouette helps more than a short one: a loose linen shirt is cooler than a tight tank top. In humid cities like Mumbai and Chennai, linen and mulmul dry faster than heavy cotton.
