In the mountains or at the seaside, the underwear that generates well-being is made of two precious natural fibers that provide comfort and protection from heat and cold: wool and silk.
According to a recent study conducted by Federalberghi, 89.6% of Italians will remain in Italy for their summer vacation: 82.3% will opt for the seaside, 8.5% for the mountains, and 2.7% for cities of art. For the remaining 10.9% who will travel abroad, the seaside (59.7%) will continue to attract the most attention, making it the undisputed champion of travel destinations for 2024 .
So far, the numbers. Making a period of relaxation and rest worth remembering isn't just the destination you choose. A series of independent and dependent variables also come into play—weather, traffic, transport strikes. Packing the wrong clothing can negatively impact the success of your trip. Whether it's clothing or underwear, before packing your suitcase, it's best to pause and reflect on the nature of your trip . Will you be greeted by snow-capped glaciers or mountain ridges? Or sunny Mediterranean beaches where the heat of the day gives way to a cool night breeze? To cope with climate changes and maintain your well-being, all you need to do is choose the right underwear.
Wool underwear for summer? Yes, please!
Wool? Silk? Cotton? A mix? Every climate requires not only a well-designed outerwear wardrobe, but also ad hoc underwear created by exploiting the intrinsic characteristics of naturally noble yarns . First and foremost, wool : a perfect ally for insulating against the cold, but also against the heat, so much so that it was adopted by some African populations to cope with the temperature difference between day and night. Warm to the touch and featuring high thermal insulation , soft to the touch, elastic and hygroscopic , this fibre is therefore the perfect solution for underwear intended for both high altitudes and sea level, helping to maintain a stable body temperature . It is no surprise that Alpina dedicates this one-of-a-kind yarn to pure virgin wool undershirts for him , also available in a lightweight and shrink-resistant version and, for her, in pure wool and wool & cotton .
