In fact, considering that fashion models are constantly evolving rapidly with various types of fabric that certainly make you confused. This needs to be known before buying clothes so that you know the types of fabric with their characteristics so that they are comfortable when you use them. Because, generally someone will choose a type of fabric for clothes that are cool, absorb sweat, and do not reduce appearance so that they remain trendy.

Maybe, if you want to buy clothes directly from the store, you can ask which type of fabric is good. However, if you have to buy it from an online shop, this can be unsatisfactory if you don't know the type of fabric because you can't touch it directly. Therefore, knowing the type of fabric is very important so that mistakes do not occur. Here are some types of fabric that are often used for clothing materials. Let's take a look

1. Types of Cotton Fabric

The first and most familiar type of fabric is cotton. This type has been widely used by most people. This fabric has the characteristic of being cool and has good sweat absorption because it is made from cotton fibers. In fact, if you buy clothes made from this type of fabric, they are considered very durable.

2. Types of Spandex Fabric

Spandex is one of the most comfortable types of clothing material to wear. This is because this type of fabric has excellent elasticity, almost similar to rubber. In addition, spandex fabric is made of 100% synthetic material that is specifically created to replace rubber.

Usually, this material is used for sportswear or leggings because it has a very flexible nature. Spandex fabric will conform to the body's curves, making it comfortable and helping to move more flexibly.

3. Types of Polyester Fabric

The next type of fabric used for clothing is polyester. Polyester itself has the characteristic of a fabric that is not smooth like spandex and it cannot absorb sweat. This type of fabric has the characteristic of easily fading colors. As a result, clothing made from polyester tends to be sold at a lower price.

4. Types of Linen Fabric

Linen is also one of the types of fabric commonly used for making clothes. Linen is actually part of the cotton fabric family. This fabric has a special characteristic of neat and visible fiber threads. Linen is also very elastic, so it will not easily stretch even when stretched. In addition, linen fabric is soft, cool, and easily absorbs sweat. Usually, linen fabric is often used to make gamis clothing.

5. Types of Rayon Fabric

Another type of fabric that you need to know is rayon fabric. This type of fabric is a synthetic material made from high cellulose wood. Rayon fabric also has the characteristic of being able to absorb sweat due to its soft material and draping fabric. Usually, rayon fabric is used to make skirts that are very comfortable to wear. The quality of this type of fabric can be considered good.

6. Types of Silk Fabric

Silk is also one of the types of fabric that is familiar to the public. This fabric is made from silk cocoon. Silk itself is a type of fabric that absorbs water but is easily torn. The use and care for this type of fabric should be very careful. Silk fabric is also the best quality fabric with a very expensive price. It's no wonder that silk fabric is rarely used as the main material for everyday clothing.

7. Types of Knitted Fabrics

As the name suggests, this type of fabric is made by knitting several threads together to form a fabric. The structure of this fabric is formed by interlocking threads. Usually, knitted fabric is used as warm clothing. This fabric also cannot absorb sweat, so it is not suitable for use in hot weather.

8. Drill Fabric

10. Types of Hyget Fabric

Lastly, hyget fabric is made from a blend of polyester and cotton but with a thinner material. That's why this type of fabric is cheaper. The characteristics of hyget fabric are its shiny appearance, wrinkle-resistant, and slightly warm when worn. This fabric is usually used to make skirts and is not suitable for making t-shirts because it can be hot.

Those are some types of fabrics commonly used in clothing production. By knowing these types, hopefully, you won't be confused anymore in choosing the right fabric. Hope it's useful.
