FAQ About Summer Clothing Textures

Velvet and velour textures are generally not recommended for summer wear due to their characteristics and composition. Here's why:

• Heat Retention: Velvet and velour fabrics are typically made from thicker, plush materials, which can trap heat close to the body. These fabrics have a dense pile or nap that can hinder airflow, leading to a lack of breathability and increased heat retention. Wearing velvet or velour in hot weather may cause discomfort and make you feel overly warm.
• Weight and Bulk: Velvet and velour fabrics tend to be heavier and bulkier compared to lightweight summer fabrics. The additional weight and thickness can contribute to a feeling of heaviness and restrict movement, which is not ideal for hot and humid conditions where light and breathable fabrics are preferred.
• Lack of Breathability: The construction of velvet and velour fabrics, with their densely woven or knitted surface, can limit air circulation. This lack of breathability can lead to increased sweating and a less comfortable experience in the summer heat.
• Absorbency: Velvet and velour fabrics are known to have a higher level of moisture absorption compared to some other fabrics. They can retain sweat or moisture, potentially causing a damp and uncomfortable feeling.
