Thus, cotton is just too apt for your sensitive skin.

* Reason: Tired of threat of unnecessary sweat? Considering that linen is highly absorbent and a good conductor of heat it helps in keeping your body free of moisture. So, the linen dress or blouse not just feels good to touch but also quickly removes your perspiration during the summer days.

* Khadi: Khadi saris to the dress to shirts, it is the perfect wear for your summer evening.
