Suggestions for best sort of (fabric) clothes for very humid temp for tween DC

[stoptheraindrops]

Going to Thailand in July and whilst DC would like to wear their usual big brand name clothing (sports wear etc), I suspect they will boil in them....want to buy cool (literally, as in not hot) clothes for them.

So, shorts and tops - linen would be best, but that's nigh on impossible to find for their age group. Cotton? Any suggestions, please?

I can't imagine a teen in linen! Just let them.wear their normal shorts and t-shirts!

Er, yeah...that's why I said it's nigh on impossible to find...because no tween would wear it. Normal t shirts and shorts for them are non natural fibers which are awful for the climate. Hence why i'm here. Thanks for your helpful input.

If you/DC don't want/can't find linen, cotton would be the best, yes. I find linen a bit better, but most of my summer clothes are cotton (like most of my non-summer clothes) and it's a fine material for heat. You should be able to find cotton shorts and cotton sleeveless tops for them in most children's sections of most shops, I would think.
