In today’s fashion-driven era, people wear a variety of clothing styles. While some prefer synthetic fabrics, others opt for extremely tight clothing. But have you ever considered whether the clothes you wear daily are actually suitable for you and do not harm your health?
You may be overlooking important factors when choosing your outfits, which could lead to negative effects on your health. According to doctors, people should be mindful when selecting their clothes, ensuring that fashion and trends do not take precedence over comfort and well-being. Clothes should be chosen based on skin type, weather conditions, and body needs.
Dr Naval Kishore tells Local18 that wearing appropriate clothing is essential for both comfort and health. The right clothing not only provides ease but also helps maintain overall well-being. He emphasises the importance of choosing clothes based on the season.

Dr Kishore warns against excessive use of synthetic and tight clothing, which can cause significant discomfort, particularly in summers.
Dr Naval Kishore further explains that wearing synthetic or tight-fitting clothes during summer can lead to various skin issues such as ringworm and itching. Synthetic fabrics do not absorb sweat effectively, increasing the risk of bacterial infections, which can result in persistent irritation and discomfort.
For instance, if you spend long hours in the sun during summer, it is advisable to wear light-coloured, full-sleeved clothing to minimise exposure to harmful ultraviolet rays. In the same way, one should opt for loose and breathable clothing during sleep to promote better rest and overall comfort.
