Men’s fashion, in recent years, has been experiencing a significant transformation affecting the selection of fabrics used to make clothing. Innovative, performance fabrics with hi-tech fibers have become more and more popular.

At this year’s Pitti Uomo, models wore easygoing, informal clothes that were made of breathable, comfortable, lightweight materials.

Fashion reflects changes in lifestyle, which translate in the need for new clothing.

Performance fabrics and men’s fashion: a winning match also for formal attire

To fulfill these needs, men’s fashion is increasingly adopting performance fabrics, that display a contemporary aesthetic in line with the casual and formal masculine style. These fabrics must be easy-care, preferably no- iron, and washable in water, as well as easy-living, comfortable and elastic, breathable, quick drying, and anti-wrinkle.

The design of clothes is driven by technical innovation, in an intertwining of design, fashion, and technology. A new style of clothing is created, which goes from formal to neo-formal.

At Pitti Uomo spring-summer 2023 edition, in line with this macro-trend, brands presented various functional garments made with highly technological materials, designed with practicality and convenience in mind. The features of these clothes are inspired by the great outdoors and adventurous travels: waterproof, extra-light and windproof, antibacterial, highly breathable.

Let’s take outerwear as the main example of this trend: fashion shows presented several items characterized by the use of innovative fabrics, multifunctional pockets, and ad hoc zips, creating unexpected combinations in the name of comfort. Bermuda shorts and joggers complete the outfits.

This revolutionary style also involves the world of natural yarns that have also become technical, contemporary, and versatile. We find combinations of cotton and polyamide, which is used to enhance the high-tech features of garments such as shirts, which are designed to be no-iron and quick-drying.

Shirts made with JL fabrics are extremely easy-care, compact, opaque, perfectly fitting and no-iron. All that is required to stop them from creasing is to hang them. We are talking about garments which are suitable for every situation: once worn you will no longer want to take them off.

Among the fabrics designed to make these garments we find Festa, Favola, Fantasia, three variations of mélange, which make the fabric naturally dynamic and ensure prints a three-dimensional effect and a casual look.
