Question

In summer, wearing of __________ clothes is preferred in comparison to synthetic clothes.

Answer 1

In summer, the wearing of cotton clothes is preferred in comparison to synthetic clothes because:

1. Cotton allows better air circulation, which helps in absorbing and removing body moisture caused by sweat. It, therefore, minimizes fungal breeding by keeping your body dry and cool.

2. Cotton is light in weight and in colour unless it is dyed. Being light-coloured will help the light to pass through instead of being absorbed and hence we will not feel the heat as much. If you wear loose clothes instead of tight-fitting clothes, there will be ample space for the air to pass through.

3. Cotton helps in bringing down the severity of an allergic reaction and is perfect for those who have sensitive skin. Synthetic fabrics on the other hand cause rashes, skin allergies and body odour as they tend to trap moisture.
