Clothes are a reflection of people’s personalities and also of the trends fashion
designers show as what is considered “in” in a certain time. But the weather is also an
important factor, since we need to adapt our clothes in order to be comfortable with the
climate conditions. Summer clothes mainly help us to stay cool and fresh in order to
stand the high temperatures. For that reason, clothes are made of light and soft
materials. Winter clothes keep us warm and protect us from the cold. They are made of
thick fabrics that allow preserving our bodies’ temperature. For that reason, don’t forget
to have garments that help you stand the different weather conditions. Stay cool, but
also keep warm!
