When temperatures climb, the fabric you choose matters more than the style you wrap it in. Some fabrics trap heat against your skin, others let air move through.
Modal Is the Summer MVP
Modal is lightweight, breathable, and moisture-wicking, which is exactly why it stays cool against the skin even during a full day outdoors. Our Woven Modal collection is the first place to look for hot-weather pieces.
Jersey Works Too, With a Caveat
Jersey breathes reasonably well and holds its shape without pins, which is a plus when you're moving around in the heat. It's slightly heavier than modal, so if you run warm, modal is still the better first choice.
Color Matters More Than People Think
Lighter shades reflect heat rather than absorb it. On the hottest days, a light neutral or pastel will feel noticeably cooler than a deep, saturated color, even in the exact same fabric.
Underneath Matters Too
A breathable underscarf makes a bigger difference than people expect. Tight, non-breathable synthetic caps trap heat right where you don't want it, at your hairline and temples.
Quick Tips for Hot Days
- Choose modal over heavier prints when possible
- Go lighter in color on the hottest days
- Tie hair up and loose underneath to improve airflow
- Wash more often in summer since sweat breaks down fabric faster
