A study published in the scientific journal Nature examined how clothing color affects heat exposure and challenged the idea that black clothing is always unsuitable in hot weather. Warm air rises and escapes, helping the body release heat. In dry conditions, sweat evaporates more easily, allowing the body to release heat.
