Okay, do people not know this? Is NPR writing SEO copy, or is this "NPR for dummies"? Do people even make cotton sweaters?!? Wool summer dresses?! 🤔

NPR:How to spot quality clothing, according to a fashion expert

Consider the material. It should make sense for the purpose of the garment. For example, if you're buying a sweater, choose one with a material that will keep you warm, like wool. If you're buying summer clothes, choose fabrics that will keep you cool, like linen.

@ai6yr Wool is the most common fabric for men’s suits for year-round use. Lightweight worsted wool can be reasonably cool in summer (as suits go). And back in the day, wool was often used for sports clothing (eg, cycling jerseys).
