The wrinkle and damage resistance of the cloth helped it acquire popularity. However, wearing a polyester shirt or dress in the summer might result in sweat patches since polyester is also water-resistant and does not absorb perspiration. Since polyester doesn't breathe, you should wash and dry it properly to avoid mold growth. There are two types of polyester: natural and dyed/printed. Natural polyester fibers are obtained from plants and they're usually soft and luxurious. They tend to be light weight with a high degree of strength. Dyed/printed polyester fibers are produced by dyeing cotton or other fibers first and then spinning them into yarn before being made into fabrics. These are commonly used because of their durability and color range. However some people complain about the smell of dyed/printed polyester products. Wearing polyester clothes in the summer means that you're going to need to take special care of them since they won't be as resilient to stains and wrinkles as other materials. Make sure to clean them regularly so they last as long as possible.
