With winter approaching, changes should not only affect the weather, but also your closet! The clothes and fabrics that you used to wear in summer are no longer suitable for the cold rainy days, which require other types of thicker and warmer fabrics.
That is why, Fashtory decided to bring you a short list of the most important winter fabrics that you should invest in this season!
Wool for a warm and comfortable look
Wool is obtained from sheep, goats, rabbits and other animals, and it contains protein and a small percentage of fat. In the fashion world, wool is a special fabric because it acts as a natural insulator due to the air pockets it contains. Plus, it’s water-resistant, lightweight, and durable, making it the hopeful choice for snowy and rainy weather.
Leather for a bolder edgier look
Leather is a strong, flexible and durable material obtained primarily and naturally from the tanning or chemical treatment of animal skins. In recent years, natural leather has gone out of fashion due to its impact on the environment and animal welfare and is currently being replaced by artificial or plant-based leather. In any case, it is one of the most prominent and most important fabrics in winter, because its thickness acts as a heat insulator, preventing it from leaking, which keeps you warm.
Fur for absolute elegance
The main source of natural fur is various animals, especially mammals. It consists of a mixture of oily protective hairs on top and thick hairs below. Just like leather, natural fur is currently being replaced by artificial fur due to the impact of this process on animal welfare and the environment. Fur is characterized by its great ability to insulate heat and provide warmth. This makes it the most used in designing winter clothes.
Silk for balmy nights
It is a natural protein fiber, obtained primarily from larval cocoons. This fabric naturally regulates body temperature and maintains it throughout the night. When it’s cold, thanks to the air between the silk threads, heat is trapped inside creating a heat insulating effect. Therefore, silk is known for its ability to keep the body cool in summer and warm in winter.
Knowing the most suitable fabrics for cold seasons will allow you to enjoy this weather while reducing your exposure to cold and rain, and will help you pull off stylish outfits without compromising your warmth and comfort.
