Love fashion nerd Sanji. Partly bc it means he and Zoro have had a million conversations that look like this:

“Still wearing your prissy silk suit, huh? Why would you fight in something like that?”

“First of all, this is fucking cotton corduroy,” Sanji snaps, gesturing down at himself. “You think I’d willingly fight in silk? I’m not a savage. Do you know how hard that would be to clean?”

Zoro blinks dully at him. “Uh, yeah, I guess we know how much you hate getting your hands dirty,” he says after a moment, looking pointedly at Sanji’s gloves.

Oh, fuck this guy.

“They’re full-grain chrome-tanned goat leather!” Sanji says defensively, then promptly realizes he sounds insane— but there’s nothing he can really do about that right now. “I don’t know why I’m bothering discussing this with you,” he continues, shooing Zoro with his hands in the air. “You couldn’t tell the difference between a seersucker and a sharkskin.”

For the first time during this conversation, Zoro’s interest looks mildly piqued. “They make clothes out of shark skin?”

This fucking pile of moss.

“Not the kind you’re thinking,” Sanji sighs with exasperation.

#sharkskin is a type of fabric. ofc.#zosan #roronoa zoro #vinsmoke sanji #black leg sanji #one piece

azriel with a mate who’s messy enough they always manage to have something scruffy with their clothing— a collar untucked, a tag poking out, a belt twisted around at the back.

azriel always adores how they never seem to notice. he adores even more the chance to get closer to his love, always silently and politely tucking in tags or smoothing out wrinkles without being asked to — loving how his mate jumps in surprise at his touch but it soothes away into affection in half a moment when they realise who it is <3

#😭 he’s such a softy i swear to god #imagine like doing a beautiful dress reveal and he’s speechless #and as you leave the room to meet the others - he drags you back around the waist for just a moment #‘az? what- woah! i know i look good but keep those hands—‘ and he’s smirking as he pulls back and smooths over the fabric #‘you had a tag sticking out angel’#az is the type that wants to touch his mate as much as he can :’)#i had this thought and i was like it’s sooo very in character but i doubt i will write a fic for it so <3 have this #azriel shadowsinger #azriel #azriel x reader #azriel shadowsinger x reader

Fabric types and summer heat

The world is seeing record temperatures again. A lot of people find little comfort in their summer wardrobe these days, so it's important to be aware of how fabric types can influence your well-being in hot weather.

The following list of fabrics is by no means exhaustive, but it covers the basics.

Some of the fabrics mentioned below are expensive when bought new. You'll often find them for cheap in second-hand shops and on thrifting platforms though. I'm literally wearing a €5 linen underskirt, a €1 silk top, and a €7 silk summer dress right now, just to give an example.

General notes:

If you don't know where to start, try to stick to light-weight fabrics made of natural fibres. Look for light colours and open weaves.

You might be tempted to cover as little skin as possible in order to keep cool, but this leaves your skin vulnerable to sunburn. A thin layer of linen will often be more efficient at keeping you cool than leaving your skin bare.

Don't forget to wear sunscreen! Even if your skin type doesn't burn easily, it will still lower your chances of skin cancer. Look into sunscreens for children if you have sensory issues: they tend to be more sensory-friendly.

Polyester (to avoid):

Are your summer clothes making you ridiculously sweaty? Check the tag: you're probably wearing polyester.

Polyester is a synthetic fabric derived from petroleum: it's basically a plastic. It's strong, cheap, and stain resistant, which makes it a popular fabric. Even though a lot of summer clothes are made out of polyester, it's one of the worst fabrics to wear in summer.

Polyester is neither absorbent nor breathable, and captures heat. It traps sweat between your skin and your clothes, and it won't let you cool down. This leaves you feeling sticky and overheated. It can also cause static cling, which can be uncomfortable.

Not all synthetic fabrics are bad in summer: a lot of UV-blocking clothes are made of synthetics for example and can be a real life saver if you're sensitive to the sun. Try to avoid polyester if you can, though.

Cotton:

Cotton is a natural fibre that makes for a soft, durable, and breathable fabric. It allows air to circulate around your body which helps to keep you cool and get rid of sweat. It's a good basic choice.

Cotton has one downside: it's very absorbent, but takes a while to dry. If the weather's making you sweat excessively, the sweat can pool into the fabric of your cotton clothes. This will make them wet, resulting in visible sweat stains that can feel uncomfortable and will take a long time to dry.

If you can't stand how cotton feels, check out chambray weaves or bamboo textiles. They have similar properties to plain-weave cotton, but tend to be more sensory-friendly.

(Image source) [ID: close-up on a faded yellow tightly woven cotton fabric that folds into a swirl at its centre.]

Linen:

Linen is the absolute king of hot weather fabrics. It's strong, absorbent, dries quickly, and is very breathable. It cools you down, but won't make you feel sticky because any sweat it absorbs will evaporate fast.

I frequently layer multiple thin loose-fitting linen garments when it's hot. Loose layers allow for air to circulate between your clothes while protecting your skin from the sun. It almost functions as a wearable air-conditioner.

Note that linen is prone to wrinkling. If this bothers you, know that linen requires extra effort during laundry to avoid this.

(Image source) [ID: close-up on a gray woven linen fabric that folds into a swirl at its centre.]

Silk:

Silk is yet another natural fibre that makes for a strong, quick-drying, and pretty breathable fabric. It's soft and cool to the touch, which makes it a great sensory choice.

Silk is not as breathable as cotton or linen, but dries very quickly. This means it might make you sweat more than cotton or linen does, but once the fabric's moist it will dry faster.

Note that sweat stains on silk tend to be pretty visible. Silk's also prone to static cling.

Characters belong to @weevmo.

Dahlia…you and me, girl /hj. I’m sorry, Weevmo you keep dishing out these scrumptious characters and I just gotta go a little silly, as a treat. I struggled a bit emulating her into my style but I hope she’s still recognisable.

#okay it’s gonna sound weird but she is a very specific of fabric texture #I think it’s like a starchy type #maybe what you get from old dresses?#its like if jeans were firmer #she feels like she would be that texture if she was a fabric #that’s was a whole ramble #corduroy stew #I’ve been working on a fan oc but it’s taken longer than I explected #I made dahlia look like she’s eating a single slice of bread so I apologise for that #fanart #digital art #digital drawing #digital illustration #art #my art #sketch
