Clothes in June

Short answer: June is light almost around the clock and warm without being heavy. It is the easiest month to dress for, as long as you remember a layer for the evening.

Long light days

With daylight until eleven, the evenings last longer than your clothes usually do. You stay outside because it is still light and forget that the temperature has dropped. A soft sweatshirt that is easy to pull over your head makes those long evenings more comfortable. See bamboo sweatshirts for women.

Warm without being heavy

June is rarely humid, so the warmth feels pleasant. Sweat can evaporate and your skin feels dry even on a warm day. That makes June a good month for light layers. Think about your feet too, which often spend all day in shoes. See socks for women.

The evening still needs a layer

After nine the temperature drops, even in June. It happens gradually, so you often notice it only once you are already cold. Take a layer with you when you head out in the afternoon, and put it on before you get chilly. See bestsellers from Copenhagen Bamboo.

A thin layer by day

During the day a thin layer is enough in most places. A soft top or T-shirt that does not cling is pleasant in sun and shade. Choose something with a little room so air can get in. A tight layer gets warm quickly, even when the air is dry.

Dry heat is easier

Dry heat feels more comfortable than humid heat at the same temperature. That is because sweat can evaporate and cool the skin. In June humidity is usually lower than in July, so twenty degrees in June often feels better than later in summer.

Midsummer and evenings outside

June is the month for long evenings outside with friends and family. Sitting still for hours makes you cold, even after a warm day. A sweatshirt and a pair of socks in your bag are often what lets you stay longer. A blanket for the grass is a good idea too.

Fit in the heat

In warm weather, clothes that do not pull at the waist or under the arms feel best. A soft fabric that hangs loosely feels cooler than something close fitting. Try your clothes on the move, for example on a bike, so you know they sit well all day.

Washing and care in summer

In summer clothes get washed more often. Wash at 30 or 40 degrees and use a mild detergent. Hang clothes outside in the shade rather than in direct sun, so the colours last. Let bamboo clothing dry flat or on a hanger, so it keeps its shape.
