Loungewear in the summer - our tips for warm weather
Although loungewear is often associated with cold weather clothing, it's also an excellent choice for summer. Here are our reasons for wearing merino loungewear in summer:
Lightweight and breathable
One of the main benefits of merino wool is that it is naturally lightweight and breathable. This means it won't feel heavy or stifling when you wear it on a hot summer's day. The fibers of merino wool are finer than traditional wool, making it soft and comfortable against the skin. The fabric is also very breathable, allowing air to circulate and regulate body temperature. So you stay cool and relaxed even in warm weather. I feel free!
Get rid of the moisture
Merino wool transports moisture away from the skin very effectively. When you sweat, the moisture is absorbed by the fabric and then evaporates, keeping your skin dry and you comfortable. This is particularly important in summer, when high temperatures and humidity can lead to excessive sweating. Merino wool can prevent sweat from sticking to the skin and causing discomfort. I feel perfect!
Odor repellent
Another advantage of merino wool is that it is naturally odor-resistant. This is because the fibers have a natural wax coating that repels odor-causing bacteria. This means that you can wear merino loungewear for several days without having to worry about it smelling bad. This is especially useful in summer, when you may sweat more and need to wash your clothes more often. I feel clean!
Easy to maintain
A big advantage is that merino wool is very easy to care for. Even though it looks like a delicate fabric, it is actually hard-wearing and can even be machine washed at 30°C (if it has been specially treated like our yarn). Merino wool also air dries quickly on the drying rack, which is useful all year round. It is also important to note that our merino wool does not shrink or lose its shape in the wash like conventional new wool. What's more, all our styles are pre-washed once after production - so they won't shrink or become misshapen because they've already been pre-washed. So you don't have to worry about chemicals or testing residues on your skin! I feel relaxed!
Tips for wearing merino loungewear in summer
If you wear merino loungewear in summer, you should follow a few tips:
Look for lightweight fabrics
Merino wool is naturally lightweight, but some types of knitwear are lighter than others. Look for merino wool with a lighter weight, we recommend flat knit styles rather than the heavy chunky knit or rib knit. This will keep you cool and comfortable in warm weather. You can find all our styles that are ideal for summer HERE.
Opt for loose-fitting styles
Tight-fitting clothing traps heat and makes you feel even hotter. Opt for loose-fitting loungewear that allows the air to circulate around your body. Our cardigans in particular are the perfect companion for warm summer evenings!
Set color accents
Summer is the perfect time to experiment with bright colors. Adding a pop of color to your loungewear is a great way to spice up your look.
