Indian summers are intolerant. Sticky afternoons, blistering heat and high humidity are part of the life in the country between March and June in much of the country. In this season, it is not only about fashion, but about comfort, health and well being of a person being right with regards to the fabric used.
Enter Khadi Cotton- a garment that has held up time and is still the best option on Indian summers. At Charkha Tales, we do not simply celebrate Khadi, but we celebrate the type of lifestyle choice that allows integrating tradition, sustainability, and pragmatics.
This blog will discuss five reasons that Khadi Cotton is the right item in the Indian summers- and why it should be included in your wardrobe.
1. The Ultimate Breathability Makes You Cool All Day.
Breathability, which is one of the most significant attributes that should be sought in summer clothing, is one of the strongest attributes of Khadi Cotton.
Khadi cotton is hand spun and hand woven unlike tightly woven synthetic fabric which forms microscopic gaps between threads. These loopholes are used to allow the free passage of air into them, which promotes ventilation and natural cooling.
The Importance of Breathability During Summer.
- Cools the body: It is easy to circulate air to avoid sweat.
- Cures irritation: Your skin does not feel oily or messy.
- Breaths new life: Khadi never feels hot despite the heat of the day.
This airflow will assist in maintaining your body temperature and therefore Khadi cotton garments are suitable to wear every day in the hot Indian weathers.
2. Better Humidity Absorption in Lavish Climates.
The Indian summers are characterized by humidity particularly in the coastal and northern areas. To keep your clothes sweat free, you should not sweat in the air in the presence of moisture.
Khadi cotton is also known to be of excellent quality in terms of moisture absoring properties and therefore wicks the sweat out of your body keeping you very dry and relaxed.
Advantages of Moisture Absorption.
- Fast evaporation: The moisture is absorbed in the garment and evaporates fast.
- Lessens body odor: Decreased moisture level also results in reduced bacteria accumulations.
- Cozy all day: Why not all clingy and sticky clothes anymore?
It can be a commute, a meeting or a night out but Khadi cotton has you feeling cool and confident even when the heat is at its highest.
3. Natural, Eco-Friendly and Natural Fabric.
Modern consumers are increasingly concerned with the clothing they use- and with reason. Most of the fabrics manufactured in large quantities are dipped in harsh chemicals, dyes and finishes that may cause irritation to the skin.
Khadi cotton, however, is a pure cloth.
Why Khadi is Better than You and the Planet.
- Chemical-free: Hand-spun cotton can be processed using a minimum amount of processing, or natural colors.
- Hypoallergenic: Soft to sensitive skin and can be used every day.
- Biodegradable: Khadi cotton is completely sustainable as opposed to synthetic blends.
The increasing levels of pollution and temperatures in India only make it even more essential to avoid choosing the materials that will contribute to the environment stress. Khadi is breathable, biodegradable, and made with minimal energy- it is also an environmentally conscious option and is sustainable and sustainable in the way of life.
Wearing Khadi cotton, you are not only knocking the heat out of your way, you are making a responsible fashion choice.
4. Sturdy and at the same time Soft: Comfort You Can rely on.
People think that natural fabrics are equal to coarse and unpolished. That stereotype gets shattered so well by Khadi cotton.
Although Khadi is incredibly strong as a result of the traditional hand-spun process, it is also becoming softer each time it is washed. After all, unlike machine-made cottons, which disfigure themselves as time passes, Khadi gets better with wear - an added benefit of the garment that does not diminish comfort.
What Makes Khadi Durable
- Fibers are made strong through hand-spinning.
- Breathable fabric helps avoid tearing.
- Natural fibers follow the movement of the body.
Such a combination implies that Khadi clothes can be worn during frequent washing and summer seasons, thus, it is an investment and not simply a seasonal garment.
5. Classic Style in a Cultural Fashion.
Fashion in summer does not necessarily need to be comfortable. Fashion is important--particularly when all the streets seem to be runways with the addition of colorful Indian decorations.
The khadi cotton is naturally fashionable. It is ideal in its natural texture and in the casual and semi formal wear.
Summer styling Khadi Cotton.
- Combine with linens and light accessories to be loosely stylish.
- Select colors that are natural to look classic and those that are soft pastels to look fresh in summer.
- Wear handmade jewelry to preserve the traditionalism.
Khadi is not merely a fabric, but it is also a representation of the rich Indian culture. Putting Khadi on during the summer is a silent festivity of our culture that makes us be reminded of a heritage that is not only valuable, but is also trendy.
