We’ve reached our final Great Escape sub-trend our FDC calls Bleisure Travel.
Bleisure Travel – the blurring of work and life boundaries…
A new travel culture has been created due to the explosive increase in business trips and remote work since the end of the pandemic. Prior to COVID-19, travel was divided into business trips and leisure. However now, bleisure travel – travel that blurs the line between business and leisure – is emerging. Products that can be worn for both office wear and travel that offer mechanical stretch and are lightweight, wrinkle-free, packable, and water-repellent will become more important.
Our recommended yarns for Bleisure Travel include:
- xanadu: a mechanical stretch fiber made from a blend of PET and corn-based materials
- regen xanadu: mechanical stretch fiber made with a blend of recycled post-consumer PET and corn-based material
- regen polyester: GRS-certified 100% recycled polyester made from post-consumer PET
- regen nylon: GRS-certified 100% recycled nylon made from reclaimed waste
- askin: cooling and UV-protective polyester fiber
- aqua-x: cooling and UV-protective nylon fiber
- creora® bio-based: USDA and SGS-certified spandex/elastane partly made with renewable resources
