summer fabrics
Breathable warm-weather materials
Summer fabrics are lightweight, breathable textiles suited to warm weather—cotton, linen, seersucker, chambray, and similar materials that allow air circulation and wick moisture.
The term appears in fashion contexts and retail: The collection features summer fabrics in pastel shades.
Heavier materials like wool and velvet are their seasonal opposites.
