Good news
Contrary to popular belief, baring your skin in the sun is actually not a good idea. Wearing long sleeves and covering your body not only protects your skin from the harmful rays of the sun but they actually act as a barrier against the suns heat as well.
Just pick those light cotton fabrics and you’ll be enjoying Summer like everyone!
It has to be modest
Islam dictates that our clothes should be loose and not form fitting which happens to be perfect for summer dressing.
Loose clothes help air circulate through out your body and keep you cool. On the contrary, tight clothes will trap moisture and body heat causing you to sweat and feel bad.
