How to dress for the hot weather

If you live in Nigeria, then you can tell that the weather is really hot for now. This article is a guide on how to dress during this time.

You should go for Light weight outfits. Heavy fabrics tend to cling to your skin and trap sweat.

Fabrics that trap moisture tend to create unpleasant odors and this can cause body odor so the fabrics should be breathable.

Natural fibers are generally better at soaking up moisture from the skin and allowing it to evaporate from the outer surface.

Cotton is extremely comfortable and allows your body to breathe with ease. It absorbs excess sweat. Linen and other natural fibers also breathe and are good at absorbing moisture.

Stay away from silk because it tends to retain heat. Silk can lose some of its strength through exposure to strong sunlight and perspiration.

Don’t forget to go out with sun glasses to protect your eyes, use skin care products that has lots of sun screen so you skin won’t be damaged.

Endeavor to wear Long sleeve, Polo t-shirts or outfits that don’t cover your arms exposes your arms and upper chest to the sun so go for long sleeves and t-shirts that cover these sensitive areas.

Wear Light colored outfits

This is because dark colors absorb more light, making you hotter while light colors reflect light.

Dark shades of blue, purple and green generate thermal energy when exposed to intense sunlight. Lighter colors generate less thermal energy under the same sunlight conditions.

Whites, baby blues, grays, creams, yellows and tans will keep you feeling cooler than blacks, navy blues, or any other dark colors.

Brighter colors will also make you easy to spot in a crowd. Take advantage of the bright weather and rock some color.
