Hi everyone,
I am new to the world of textiles and currently learning about different types of fabrics. Recently, I came across cotton fabric and was quite impressed by its quality and feel. However, I am wondering how well it can withstand different weather conditions.
I live in a place where the weather can be quite unpredictable – it is hot and humid during summers, and chilly in winters. Hence, I am looking for a fabric that can be versatile enough to be worn throughout the year. I heard that cotton is known for its breathability and comfort, but I am not sure how it fares in terms of weather resistance.
I would appreciate any insights or experiences that you have had with cotton fabric in different weather conditions. Does it hold up well against rain, wind, or extreme temperatures? Any tips or suggestions on how to care for cotton fabric to maintain its quality and durability would be helpful too.
Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi there!
I have been a fan of cotton fabric for a long time now and have found it to be quite versatile in terms of weather resistance. I have worn cotton clothes in extremely hot and humid conditions as well as chilly and windy weather, and I have never had any issues.
In my experience, cotton fabric is quite breathable and allows air to circulate through the fabric, which helps to keep me cool during hot weather. It is also quite absorbent and can absorb sweat, which helps to keep me comfortable. However, I have noticed that when it gets wet in the rain, it can take a long time to dry, so I always make sure to carry an umbrella or raincoat with me during rainy days.
Regarding extreme temperatures, cotton may not be the best choice. In extremely cold weather, I have found that wearing multiple layers of cotton clothes helps to keep me warm. However, in frigid temperatures, silk or wool might be a better option.
As for caring for cotton fabric, I always wash my cotton clothes in cold water and hang them to dry to maintain their quality and durability. Overall, I would say that cotton is a great fabric choice for anyone looking for clothing that can be worn throughout the year.
Hope this helps!
