It depends on what kind of satin you are wearing. Polyester satin, which is what most inexpensive satin clothing, dresses, and blouses are made from, is too hot for most people in summer. Polyester is a synthetic plastic fiber that does not breathe, does not wick moisture, and traps body heat and sweat between the fabric and your skin. In hot, humid weather, polyester satin can feel clammy, sticky, make you sweat more, and cause odor and irritation. It also generates static and clings to the body. For outdoor summer events, weddings, or daily wear, polyester satin can be very uncomfortable. Silk satin, on the other hand, is actually quite comfortable in summer despite its glossy look. Real silk is a natural protein fiber that is highly breathable, naturally temperature-regulating, wicks moisture, and feels cool to the touch. Many people in hot climates have traditionally worn silk because it keeps you cool. So silk satin is not too hot for summer, it is surprisingly cool and luxurious. If you love the satin look in summer, choose silk satin, cotton sateen, or a silk blend rather than 100% polyester satin, and choose loose, flowy cuts that allow airflow.
