When it comes to damaging one's vanity, few things are as destructive as sweaty armpits. Face it - no matter how well-chosen your outfit may be, no matter how luxurious the fabric of yours clothes are, their appeal can easily be outshined by two huge, gloriously wet and sticky patches under your arms. For people who do not easily or excessively sweat, this is not usually an issue, as a very good brand of deodorant is sufficient to last them through a humid day or a night at a jam-packed pub. However, for those of us whose sweat glands always seem to be on overdrive, there exists the perpetual dilemma of appearing "dry."
The fabric of your clothing plays an important role in inducing sweat. There are types of cloth that can restrict the flow of air to your body, thereby suffocating your skin. On the other hand, there are kinds of fabric that can allow your skin to breathe. So, next time you go shopping, make an effort to find breathable clothes without veering away from your sense of style.
Shirts, skirts, dresses and pants made of cotton, silk and light wool are suitable for sweaty types. These fabrics allow air to circulate through your clothing. Be careful with buying items that are made partly or wholly from nylon or polyester. These are non-breathable fabrics. Simply put, they not sweat gland-friendly. A wise thing to do is to always check the information tag on any clothing item so you can find out exactly what it is made of.
