The Worst Color To Wear When It’s Hot Outside

Adobe

Most people tend to avoid wearing black in the summer months, as it is known to attract more heat. But it turns out there is a color that is less summer-friendly than black, and surprisingly, it’s gray. Although it may not attract as much heat as black does, gray is the least forgiving when it comes to revealing sweat stains.

While darker colors (like black and navy) and lighter colors (like white) hide sweat, dark and light grays are unforgiving, and your armpit sweat is much likely to show in these colors. Next time you’re picking your summer wardrobe, you might want to stick to that white summer dress, or perhaps even opt for that LBD.

Since you’re going to be hot anyway, you might as well hide what you can!
