With the arrival of summer and beach holidays, you can not miss the right materials. The main fabrics used in the creation of swimsuits are stretch, able to adhere well to the body shapes.
With soft and sinuous lines, these fabrics are also designed to withstand the wear of time and frequent washing. The materials must be breathable and hypoallergenic, especially when it comes to underwear. Let’s discover together with Cimmino which are the best fabrics for the beachwear sector.
The best fabrics for swimwear
The swimsuit is the main garment of the summer season. It can be worn for a beach holiday, to go to the pool or spa, or to embark on a nice boat trip.
For this reason, it becomes essential to feel comfortable with our body and what we wear. So what are the best swimsuit fabrics?
Lycra
The lycra fabricis the most used and appreciated for swimwear, thanks to its incredible elasticity and flexibility, able to guarantee a higher than average resistance. Lycra is breathable and allows the light to pass well, although it has a filtering action of the sun’s rays. The colors remain bright and the graphics intact, despite frequent washing.
Nylon
Nylon is often used together with other fibers, such as lycra. It is a lightweight, resistant and filtering fabric: it avoids alterations due to sunlight and possible contact with chemical agents.
It has the ability not to deform, so it perfectly maintains the shape and avoids unsightly folds.
Elastane
Elastane is a synthetic fiber obtained from the processing of polyurethane. This material boasts excellent elasticity, which allows it to stretch up to 8 times its length without breaking or creasing, and then immediately return to its original shape. There is therefore more than one reason why it is so appreciated for sea fashion. Elastane reduces creases, ensures a great fit and can also be combined with other fibers.
Neoprene
Neoprene is a technical material made from synthetic rubber. It is mainly used to create the costumes of water sports athletes. It is a flexible, breathable, elastic fabric with a very robust structure, which allows the costume to resist cuts and lacerations. It also boasts considerable stain-resistant capabilities and does not discolor in the sun.
Lurex
Lurex is a yarn with a metallic look. The wire is the interweaving of more synthetic fibers plus a layer of vaporized aluminum. The peculiarity of this fabric is given by its brilliance, a feature that gives the costume an original and modern look.
Poplin
This type of fabric is made from the processing of natural fibers such as cotton and allows you to create garments with a woven structure. Unlike lurex, poplin fabric is used to make vintage costumes. Compared to the aforementioned fabrics, this has different characteristics: it remains soft and fresh when in contact with the skin and allows you to achieve an elegant appearance.
