Linen is often associated with warmer weather. When you travel to hotter climates, you’ll find all the locals are wearing linen dresses, shorts, tops, and hats, and it’s simply because it keeps you cool!
Why does linen keep you cool?
Linen fabric is designed specifically to keep you cool by allowing more airflow between the fibers. Linen is also a good absorbent and conductor of heat. The molecular structure allows the fabric to absorb up to a fifth of its weight in moisture before getting the damp spots as you would regular fabric. But before it gets to that point, the linen will evaporate the moisture.
Simply put, linen is cool to the touch, and will remove any sweat perspiration from the surface of your body.
These cooling linen dresses look great on all body types, and, with the right accessories, can be worn long after summer.
