Looking for clothes to keep cool in? Check out these 10 picks

In case you hadn’t heard, a severe heatwave is sweeping Europe right now. Those on the ground (or anyone else who lives in hotter climes) will tell you that natural fibres are key for staying cool and composed as temperatures soar.

Natural, plant-based fibres such as linen and hemp also have a lower impact on the environment than synthetics, so there’s more than one reason to choose such materials for your next purchase. That’s our focus for this month’s team picks, in which Good On You staffers from all over the world choose their favourite items from brands working more sustainably. There are loose, airy options for adults and kids, as well as a tree-inspired bodycare set made using natural ingredients from more responsible beauty brand Sans Savon.

Scroll on to discover items made using a high proportion of plant-based fibres or ingredients.
