In the hot summer, fashionistas are no longer satisfied with choosing single items. They are also very particular about fabrics. A few days ago, Xiaoxiao wrote “Silk, linen, cotton, which fabric is the coolest to wear in summer?” Let’s share the fabrics that are most suitable for summer. Many netizens commented that they still like the simple and natural linen the most, but are you sure that the clothes you buy are really linen?
Lax is the most common linen fabric we usually use. , many people even call all linen fabrics linen. In fact, the linen fabrics on the market can be divided into linen, ramie, and cotton. Although these three fabrics are all linen products, they still have obvious differences and different prices. , today Xiaoxiao will help you sort out the differences between these three fabrics, so don’t make any mistakes.
Flax is actually an annual herbaceous plant. The fabrics woven from its fibers are also called linen fabrics. It is the first natural fiber discovered and used by humans and has been used for more than 10,000 years. It can be said that flax is the oldest natural fiber and the pioneer of human fashion. It is known as the “Queen of Fibers”. The clothes made of it have a simple and natural color and are very popular among urbanites who pursue nature.
The reason why flax is popular in summer is closely related to its many characteristics. To sum up, the main points are as follows:
1. Coolness: Flax, known as “natural air conditioner”, is The only bundle fiber among natural fibers, its air permeability ratio is as high as more than 25%, so it has good heat dissipation, 19 times that of silk. When wearing linen clothing, the body surface temperature can be 3-4 degrees lower than other fabrics, so it can Reduces the amount of perspiration produced by the human body, 1.5 times less than wearing pure cotton clothing.
2. Sweat-absorbent and breathable: Linen can not only reduce the body’s perspiration, but also has excellent water absorption and is easy to dry, so it can keep the human body dry.
3. Anti- Radiation, anti-static, bacterial inhibition, and anti-allergy: Natural flax fiber contains some ingredients that have been studied to have anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic effects, and can also have anti-static and anti-radiation effects.
Because the fiber has no elasticity, flax cannot be deeply processed, so its shortcomings are also obvious: it is easy to wrinkle, the size is unstable, and the comfort is poor.
Ramie fabric is made of plant ramie fiber. Ramie fiber is the longest of all hemp fibers and has the greatest elasticity. It is 3-6 times longer than the highest grade cotton fiber. Moreover, the ramie processed after degumming is very white, has good luster, is easy to color and does not fade easily, and is stronger than linen.
In addition to being as cool as linen, hypoallergenic and anti-static, ramie also has unique advantages:
1. Lighter and more breathable: Ramie fibers are long, so the fabrics woven are lighter and more breathable. It is lighter than cotton. The same cavity structure gives ramie excellent moisture absorption and perspiration properties and good breathability.
2. Anti-mildew, wear-resistant, anti-bacterial and mite-removing: Ramie has long fibers, is tough, has little elasticity but is strong, and is not prone to moisture and mildew. It can inhibit the growth of bacteria and eliminate mites, so it is very durable and durable. It is easy to store and is known as “soft gold that lasts for thousands of years”.
3. Anti-ultraviolet: Ramie fiber has excellent anti-ultraviolet function. The penetration rate of ultraviolet rays is less than 0.6%. The anti-ultraviolet ability is more than 40 times that of cotton fabrics, which can effectively weaken the impact of ultraviolet rays on the human body. damage, so it’s perfect for summer wear.
