They help regulate body temperature by allowing air to flow and moisture to evaporate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Cotton<\/strong>: Known for its breathability and softness, cotton is a go-to for hot weather. It&#8217;s gentle on the skin and absorbs moisture, which helps in cooling down the body.

Fabrics that trap body heat and provide a barrier against the cold are preferable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Wool: <\/strong>Wool is an incredible insulator, even when wet. Its fibers create pockets that trap heat, keeping you warm in chilly conditions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fleece: <\/strong>Made from synthetic fibers, fleece is lightweight yet warm.
