Sol.

In season of summers the body tries to cool down itself by sweating. In this process, body excrete water from the skin and this water get evaporated and cools down the body.

In case of evaporation, some liquid molecules take energy from rest of the liquid molecules and get converted in vapour.

Cotton clothes absorb the water, and water gets evaporated through their surface. This will help to cool down the body temperature.

Nylon clothes does not absorb water, and create obstacles in process of evaporation.

Hence in season of summers it is advised to wear cotton clothes which will be more comfortable.
