As summer approaches and temperatures rise, wardrobes are turning towards lighter and more breathable pieces. The increasing heat waves in recent years, in particular, remind us once again that fabric choice in summer is not just about style, but also about comfort.

The 100% cotton designs in the DUAL collections are carefully selected to offer both style and comfort during the summer months. So why is wearing cotton so important in summer?

What is 100% Cotton and Why is it Natural?

Cotton is a breathable and skin-friendly fabric made from natural fibers. Unlike synthetic fabrics, cotton helps maintain the body's natural balance and offers a refreshing feel during the summer months.

The breathable nature of cotton fabric.

100% cotton fabrics allow the skin to breathe all day long thanks to their breathability. They prevent sweat from being trapped in the fabric, reducing the feeling of stickiness.

Numerous textile studies on natural fibers reveal that cotton fabrics help regulate skin temperature during the summer months. Therefore, in summer collections, cotton stands out not only for its aesthetic appeal but also as a conscious choice.

During the long days of summer, especially when on vacation or moving around the city, wearing a loose-fitting cotton garment will determine how you spend the entire day.

Differences compared to synthetic fabrics.

While synthetic fabrics can trap sweat and cause discomfort in hot weather, cotton absorbs moisture and helps it evaporate. This makes cotton clothing much more comfortable during the summer months.

The Importance of Breathable Fabrics in Summer Heat

High temperatures and humidity make fabric selection critical during the summer months. Non-breathable fabrics increase body heat, while 100% cotton garments promote coolness and provide comfortable wear throughout the day.

Skin-friendly and suitable for sensitive skin.

During the summer months, factors like sun, salt water, and chlorine make the skin more sensitive. 100% cotton, thanks to its natural structure, does not irritate the skin and offers safe use for sensitive skin. Because of this feature, cotton summer clothes are both an aesthetically pleasing and healthy choice.

Comfortable Fit + Cotton = True Luxury in Summer

True summer style is achieved with designs that give the body space, not those that cling to the body. 100% cotton fabric, combined with relaxed cuts, offers all-day comfort.

Why are non-stick and non-constricting designs important?

Cotton fabrics, when combined with the right cuts, don't cling to the body, don't constrict, and allow freedom of movement. In DUAL designs, comfort is as important as aesthetics.

The Relationship Between Sustainable Fashion and Cotton

Cotton, when used with a focus on quality production, is a long-lasting fabric. Its durable structure allows products to be used for longer periods, preventing rapid consumption. This approach is one of the cornerstones of sustainable fashion.

How to style 100% cotton pieces in your summer wardrobe?

100% cotton summer pieces offer effortless style both in the city and on vacation. Cotton dresses , bandanas , and pareos can easily be adapted from day to night and, when paired with minimal accessories, create a timeless style.

Result: In summer, your skin senses what you wear.

Every piece of clothing worn in summer is not just about look; it's about feel. 100% cotton fabrics, with their breathable structure and natural comfort, are indispensable for the summer season.

The 100% cotton designs in the DUAL collections adapt to the rhythm of summer with their non-restrictive, non-clingy, and freedom-inducing forms. Because we believe summer should be light, natural, and feel-good.
