The Science Behind Why Cotton Feels Cooler — and Why Adya by Nikita Chooses It
When temperatures rise and humidity sets in, comfort becomes more than just a desire — it becomes essential. That’s why, at Adya by Nikita, fabric selection is a thoughtful process. And cotton, more often than not, becomes our go-to choice.
But what makes cotton feel so much cooler and more breathable compared to other fabrics? Let’s look at the science — and the philosophy behind why we keep coming back to this timeless textile.
🌿 Why Cotton Feels Cooler: A Scientific Perspective
1. Breathability Is Built In
Cotton is a natural fiber with a porous structure, allowing air to move freely through it. This natural ventilation is what gives cotton its light, airy feel — making it ideal for warmer climates.
In comparison, synthetic fabrics often trap heat and moisture, creating a stuffy and uncomfortable experience.
2. It Absorbs Moisture — And Lets It Go
One of cotton’s biggest strengths is its ability to absorb moisture — up to 25 times its weight. When we sweat, cotton pulls the moisture away from our skin and allows it to evaporate. This cooling process helps regulate body temperature and prevents the sticky discomfort that comes with synthetic wear.
3. Low Heat Retention
Cotton doesn’t cling to heat. Its low thermal conductivity means it doesn’t trap warmth like polyester or nylon. Instead, it keeps you feeling naturally cool and dry.
🧵 Why Adya by Nikita Often Works with Cotton
At Adya by Nikita, our collections are inspired by ease, elegance, and conscious living. While we work with a range of natural and handwoven fabrics, cotton is often at the heart of our summer and daily-wear lines — and for good reason.
-
It’s gentle on the skin, making it perfect for long hours of wear.
-
It’s biodegradable and eco-conscious, aligning with our sustainability ethos.
-
It drapes beautifully and holds our silhouettes with natural grace.
Our focus has always been on creating pieces that not only look beautiful but also feel good — and cotton allows us to deliver on that promise without compromise.
🧠 Thoughtful Fashion Starts with Fabric
Choosing the right fabric is as important as choosing the right design. Cotton is timeless — not because it’s simple, but because it’s smart. It adapts to your body, your climate, and your lifestyle.
For Adya by Nikita, it’s not just a material choice.
It’s a statement — of comfort, of elegance, and of mindful fashion.
