Summer pants

As the summer heat waves sweep over Bangladesh, comfortable clothing becomes a necessity. While picking your pants, make sure that the fabric is comfortable. Avoid synthetic fabrics and opt for natural ones such as cotton or linen, which will absorb the sweat from the skin and let it evaporate into the air, thus preventing the growth of bacteria and yeast. Also, go for lighter colours which will reflect most of the sun's rays, thus keeping you cooler. So, this season, whether you are going out to run errands or hanging out with your friends, here are a few types of pants that you can choose from.
