Cotton fabric is popular because its easy to care for and comfortable year-round. In hot,
humid weather, cotton breathes¯ As the body perspires, cotton fibres absorb the
moisture and release it on the surface of the fabric, so it evaporates. In cold weather,
if the fabric remains dry, the fibres retain body heat, especially napped fabrics. Keep in mind that cotton has little elasticity so it can wrinkle quite a bit.
