For hot weather, linen stands out above most fabrics because of its natural cooling effect. It doesn’t trap moisture, and its fibers let air circulate freely, which lowers body heat. That’s why pairing a top with a relaxed summer set feels so refreshing in high temperatures. Cotton can work too, but it tends to stay damp longer when you sweat, whereas linen dries quickly. Linen also ages well, becoming softer the more you wear and wash it, which only adds to comfort over time. Online shop Beanchy has curated breathable, durable linen pieces that prove how well the fabric works for heat. Choosing linen means you’re investing in comfort and functionality, not just seasonal clothing.
