TRENDS

Today we are happy to share FDC’s second Active & Outdoor sub-trend, Elegance in Motion!

Elegance in Motion: on and off court pieces with luxurious appearance

The trend of high-quality products that can be used or sports, and now also as daily wear, is catching consumers attention. As the quiet luxury and resort sports trends continue, sleek and sophisticated materials are being applied to activewear. The traditional material that was once found in resort sports like tennis and golf has been updated with added functionality to create a more sporty and stylish mood. 

Our recommended yarns, fabrics and applications for Elegance in Motion include: 

Key Yarns

• regen™ BIO Spandex/Elastane: spandex partly made with renewable resources 
• regen™ Ocean Nylon: GRS-certified, 100% recycled post-consumer nylon made from discarded fishing nets
• regen™ Aqua-X Nylon: 100% recycled nylon with cooling action.
• CREORA® Coolwave Nylon: super-cooling action nylon that delivers long-lasting cooling and approximately 1.5 times faster moisture absorption compared to conventional nylon
• CREORA® Color+ Spandex/Elastane: a special acid/reactive dyeable spandex/elastane, which has excellent elasticity with the added benefit of providing long-lasting richer colors in nylon and natural fiber blends. It reduces grin-through on textile products and makes fabric colors deeper and more vivid.

Suggested Fabrics

Refined double pique jersey, clean and sleek surface tricot, soft-touch micro pique 

Suggested Applications

Button down polo shirts, relaxed trousers, half pants/shorts
