BEST FABRICS FOR SUMMER | what to wear in summer, fabrics/ textiles to avoid | Beate Myburgh

I definitely prefer cooler weather, so I do my best to be comfortable in the summer heat. I love fabric, and my favorite fabric is actually perfect for the summer (it is linen of course). What is your favourite summer fabric? Or your favorite summer styles?

Thanks for these tips! I live in Malaysia where it's super humid all year around and I'm on a journey to be more mindful of the clothes I buy.

[@FrithEvans]

You really know your fabrics! Thanks for sharing.

[@VarunPrasadoneplusone]

HI. Your videos are very helpful. Can you please make a similar video on best fabrics to wear in winters?

[@BeateMyburgh]

Hi Varun. Thank you. Yes absolutely, coming up in a few months!

Wondering if there is a maximum amount of polyester allowed to get the optimal breathability together with more durability and strength of the fabric, e.g. 5%-20% polyester in combination with a cotton or a linnen?

Good explanation, really thanks for your efforts and the videos, may I know where can purchase the books that show types of fabric/textile in your video?

[@BeateMyburgh]

Hi. Thanks. Many of the samples I showed are not available for purchase. The best alternative is a fabric swatch book. This is a good one: Fabric for Fashion: The Swatch Book Revised Second Edition a.co/d/1QkDSxi

@@BeateMyburgh Thanks for the information

[@duytien7470]

Does the book on amazon have the same information and sample fabric as your book?

Where you got your top from? Love ❤️ your content

[@BeateMyburgh]

Hi 👋🏼 Thank you! Happy you like the content. The top is from Reformation but I had it tailored (I cut the sleeves shorter). You can see it in this video: ruclips.net/video/hSEu6lD7kxk/видео.html

Silk is not good for summer its worst

[@tealeafs3824]

That's what she said. Natural silk is good for summer but is highly expensive. Polyester silk on the other hand, is indeed the worst, looks cheap and you stink.
