Best Answer

If you're referring to temperature and breathability, woven is not necessarily cooler than knit. The breathability depends more on the type of fiber (natural fabrics versus synthetic fabrics), and less on how it is constructed (woven fabrics versus knit fabrics).

Fabrics that are "cool" and breathable are:

  • linen
  • cotton (especially seersucker)
  • rayon
  • lightweight wool
  • silk

These are all natural fabrics, and can be either woven or knit. For example, a cotton shirt could be woven (such as a button-down shirt), or knit (such as a t-shirt).

And if by "cool" you mean trendy or attractive....well, that's up to you. Both woven and knit come in cool prints and colors. :)

That depends on what kind of woven fabric you're talking about. A woven georgette would be better for summer but a woven flannel would be much better for winter. So, I guess the correct answer is "yes".
