Will it be hot to wear black clothes in summer?

Everyone knows that summer is a season with stronger ultraviolet rays, and it is hot in summer. Most people will choose white or bright-colored clothes when wearing clothes, which will give people a cool feeling. Few people choose black or slightly darker clothes. In everyone’s impression, dark-colored clothes in summer will absorb heat and will be hotter to wear. The following will specifically introduce whether it will be hot to wear black clothes in summer.

Some experts believe that which type of clothes makes you feel cool is not entirely related to the color, but also to the fabric of the clothes. Under normal conditions, dark-colored clothing has a larger absorption coefficient, so the amount of light that finally reaches the body is smaller. But some good clothing materials, although light in color, have a relatively high absorption coefficient.

The moisture absorbency of clothing materials has a big impact on how cool the clothing is. Clothes with good moisture absorption can absorb sweat from the human body in time and bring coolness to people through the evaporation of sweat. Therefore, it is best to choose clothes made from natural plant fibers such as cotton, linen, silk, etc. with good moisture absorption; some chiffon materials, although they look thin, are actually made of chemical fibers, which have poor air permeability and moisture absorption, and will make you feel stuffy when wearing them.

If you want to keep cool in summer, you must also take into account the "air suction" and "air blowing" effects inside the clothes. The clothes should be made looser, especially the openings such as the collar, sleeves, and trouser legs. Flared skirts and dresses can produce a greater air blowing effect when walking, so they are cooler to wear.

The loose style not only liberates the body, but also remains charming if matched properly. The loose rule is actually very simple. If the top is loose, match it with tight and shorter pants.

Please be careful when traveling: the less clothes you wear, the cooler you will be. In fact, going shirtless can only increase the skin's radiation and conduction heat dissipation when the skin temperature is higher than the ambient temperature. When the temperature approaches or exceeds 37°C, the skin not only cannot dissipate heat, but will absorb heat from the external environment. Therefore, going shirtless in midsummer and women wearing short skirts will feel hotter. Experts suggest that it is best to wear light-colored silk clothes when traveling.

The color of clothing determines its ability to absorb and release heat. Under the same conditions, dark-colored (black) clothes have a stronger ability to absorb and dissipate heat than light-colored (white) clothes. Therefore, if you work in the sun, wearing black clothes will make you feel hotter. But in the shade, wearing black clothes is more eye-catching. These two situations should be treated differently. It is cooler to wear dark clothes indoors in the summer and cooler to wear light clothes in the sun.
