During this heatwave I have seen a number of women wearing black leggings . I love leggings but can t imagine wearing the leggings I own in this weather. Any ideas on where to buy leggings fabric to withstand high temperatures.

I like this for leggings: Gorgeous Fabrics Swiss 4-way stretch. The acetate content keeps them a tad cooler than other fabrics. Looks like she doesn't have black right now, though.

I live in a hot dry summer climate, but just returned from a trip to Mexico where it was hot and humid. I found that anything with Lycra in it (leggings, woven capris, t-shirts) made me feel like I was in an oven. But they are comfortable to wear at home.
