Spandex Suits Are a Must This Halloween

Halloween is just around the corner and millennials have begun their search for the perfect blend of spandex and spooky! The tight-fitting, stretchy full-body suits made from spandex fabric, have now become integral to not just Halloween celebrations but to any cosplaying/costume-playing event. If you admire costumes from a distance and have doubts about donning a spandex suit yourself, here are a few pointers you might wanna take a look at -

Getting in and out of full-body spandex suits

Full body Spandex suits come armed with a zip that makes it easily wearable. All you have to do is step into it, pull it up and zip from bottom up. For more ease, you could opt for a two-way zipper too.

Wearing something underneath

Some spandex suits can get a little transparent when stretched too much. Even if that’s not that case, you can wear shorts, bike pants or yoga tights inside. But make sure that the colour of your innerwear gets camouflaged beneath your suit!

Breathing through your mask

If you are opting for a full-body suit with a mask, or, for that matter, even if you go with a spandex mask over your regular clothes--worry not! The stretch quality of the spandex fabric allows you to easily breathe through the mask once you break into it.

Washing Spandex costumes

Though spandex is highly resistant to sweat, detergents or the likes of it, hand wash is still recommended when it comes to fancy costumes.

Be it a full-body suit imitating your favourite hero or just a mask, spandex costumes are not much of a hassle to don. So drop your doubts, choose your favourite character and trick-or-treat in spandex style!

Rainy Day Skirts For This Monsoon

Since monsoon is just a hop, skip and a jump away, it’s time for all to be ready to welcome it with open arms. That brings us to our next point, which clothes are the best to be for this monsoon mood around, after all, you don’t want to get soaked in the event of one poor decision. What better than skirts to look stylish in and still enjoy the monsoon around with safety and grace? Here are some super stylish skirt options that will get you rainy day ready…

Tulip: this is an interesting one, shaped like an upside down bulb, a tulip skirt is just right for rainy days. It’s layered in such a way that if extra room is needed for the monsoon fun, it would open up just like a flower, providing the comfort to hop around. If the material of the skirt is a blend of bare spandex and hard yarns, it will give you just the right stretch and structure to look fabulous and be sporty whenever it’s required

Tube: Who said that tube skirts don’t facilitate free movement for jumping in puddles; that they are snug body-hugging movement inhibitors….?  When bare elastane is a component of its material, they prove to be the perfect skirts that enable you to enjoy this rainy season to utmost and give you a chic appeal. Wear one and try it. 

Circle: this is a mighty cute one that will not only make your movements easy but also give you ample freedom for jumping and hopping. It’s neither snug nor loose. It’s just free flowing. It will move with your body. Just try to get one in a heavier fabric so that in case of a surprise gust of wind, you don’t have yourself an embarrassing Marilyn Monroe moment. Since this is a free flowing skirt, the presence of bare spandex in its make won’t make much of a difference, but it always helps to have a stretch in your garments, just in case you lose or put on a few kilos here and there.

Special Active Wear For Monsoon

Freestyle runners are either too pumped or sit with dampened spirits when monsoon arrives. They are either too excited about running, open to the possibility of a refreshing surprise rain shower in the middle of their work out, or dread getting drenched in a rain pour heavier than their own sweat pour that can lead to illness. While the former kind will go about their regime as is, the latter could use some motivation. We’ll provide it by telling you you can significantly reduce the chances of falling ill after a run in the rain through this one trick.

Instead of running in the rain wearing your regular cotton running wear, put on some poly spandex yarn made active wear and head out fearlessly. Why, though?

What happens when you work out in cotton gym wear is that the material absorbs your sweat. The your body heat and the heat in the air helps evaporate that sweat, normally, but during cool and humid monsoons the sweat stays on your body and can make you fall sick. That’s where poly spandex yarn made active wear helps.

Polyester is known to repel water. So when you get active wear made from moisture wicking poly spandex yarn made fabric, you ensure that sweat is expelled from your body on to the surface of the fabric instead of staying on your skin. Naturally, the chances of catching a cold due to prolonged damp skin are reduced.

Did that lift your spirits? Run away to glory, enjoy monsoon the way it’s meant to be enjoyed!

Let’s get to the point, you’re going to wear leggings this year, so follow these trends to get the trend right.

 Shine reflect sparkle: oh yeah, let the &hosiery yarn making up your leggings and the finishing processes they go through render them so glittery and reflective that even the loudest of disco balls feel like they’ve been put to shame. It’s the year of disco, let your legs be the canvas for sparkly and holographic or both styles together.

No-stretch Denim Making You Uncomfortable?

No-stretch Denim Making You Uncomfortable?

We all love jeans! Just Love it. In its different avatars, baggy, skinny, slim-fit or plain regular… it’s the one garment you can count on the day you feel too lazy to dress up , or the day you don’t have the time to think about what to wear, or when you simply want to, well, wear jeans, your jeans is your trusty steed. But if we asked you this one question, which jeans would you pick between no-stretch and stretch, would you pause to think?

Maybe, but for the most fashion experts it’s a no-brainer. It’s an easy pick; you’ll go for the one with stretch. Doesn’t the one without, make you feel restricted?

Stretchable jean stretch all the way, thanks to the presence of elastane fibre in its make.

What happens with jeans in a rigid, no-stretch construction is that the denim fabric is so rigidly woven, it doesn’t allow room for free movement and tends to border on the uncomfortable side, especially if there is no stretch element in it. If there is elastane fibre in the denim fabric, it makes the snuggest of denims flexible, allowing freedom of movement. Wear it all day long if it comes with stretch and you would probably be so comfortable in it that you could even go to sleep in them.

It gets better if the denim fabric your jean is made of has Inviya® stretch fibre in its yarn construction. This brand of elastane fibre is known to be robust, super stretchable and absolutely skin friendly. Most high end brands in India use Inviya stretch fibre in denim fabric construction.

So the next time you pick a pair of jeans, don’t think twice before choosing between stretch and no stretch… stretch is the way to go, your legs will thank you for it!

Is Your Active Wear Making You Inactive?

This one’s for exercise enthusiasts who seem to be finding trouble feeling motivated to get their fitness game on because the thought of getting into active wear is making them cringe and RUN AWAY from even the thought of exercise. Have you ever felt demotivated to go for a jog or hit the gym because it reminds you of the restrictive active wear you’re going to be wearing, especially if you are certain that you picked the correct size at the store? Don’t be surprised when we tell you that it isn’t the fit of the garment that’s the problem. It’s probably the improper Elastane Fibre composition in the fabric of your active attire that’s choking your body.

That’s right, the composition of the fabric of your active wear can make a huge difference to your fitness productivity levels. It’s very simple, if you don’t feel comfortable in your clothing, you will not be able to reach or cross your work out potential. What generally makes active wear uncomfortable and restrictive is the lack of elastane fibre yarn in proportion to the hard yarn in the garment fabric.

Hard yarn, as the name implies, is rigid, giving structure to the garment, while elastane fibre yarn gives it the stretch and elasticity required for controlled movement for a particular type of exercise. Naturally, if the garment has less elastane and more hard yarn, it will be rigid and make your movements frigid.

Throw away the active wear garments that make you feel trapped and get going with elastane rich active wear today!

Narrow Down Those Fashion Trends With This Detail

It’s too soon to be talking about winter fashion, given we’ve just about walked into spring and summer is just around the corner, but there is this one super-fun detail that we noticed on the London Fashion Week Autumn Winter runway that needs to be mentioned, and if possible incorporated in fashion wear early. Fashion enthusiasts, pay attention, you’re going to love this.

Ever heard of something called narrow fabric?

Well, we’ll spare you one Google search and tell you a little about it. Narrow fabric is this elastane blend fabric that is used in fashion and functional garments all the time. We’ll give you an example. Underwear waist bands. The elastic cum lace-ish waist band that runs along your favourite boy shorts or g-string (etc.) uses narrow fabric and sometimes is narrow fabric itself. Bare spandex and a hard yarn are woven together to create it.

This bare spandex cum lace-ish fabric, is narrow fabric, much like ribbons and, well, lace too, as long as the width of the fabric manufactured is between 1mm and 320mm.

Narrow fabrics may or may not be woven using bare spandex. Two hard yarns, of the same or different categories can be woven together to make narrow fabric that serves various purposes like straps for bags, laces and more.

But let’s not digress from the topic here, we saw on the Versus Versace runway, strips and strips of narrow fabric making statement neck-piece chokers and placed in a sports like fashion on several garments. Perhaps you would like to give this iconic look a try?

Denim Saree Got Us Thinking “How Will I Move In This Stiff Fabric?”

Imagine if you had to walk out of the house wearing a denim saree like Sonam Kapoor did just last week. She made the headlines with that quirky albeit bold fashion statement, but if one considers the attire from a comfort point of view, the appeal of it may drop more than just a tad. A saree in itself has a snug fit leaving very little room for freedom of movement, wearing a denim saree could might as well be a restless person’s worst nightmare.

What is the solution to this predicament?

Stretch denims to your rescue!

Stretch denims have the one thing that regular denims don’t. A key ingredient-- covered spandex yarn

Whether it is cotton or synthetic, stretch denims ustilise a blend of spandex and a hard yarn to create a fabric that maintains its structure but moves with the body as much as you would want it to. You can thank manufacturers like Indorama Industries for creating covered spandex yarn that is the core component of most of your stretch denims. It is also used in the creation of active wear, intimate wear and performance wear among other garments and accessories.

So, now imagine wearing a saree that is made with denims constructed from high quality covered spandex yarn. While they may not be considered the attributes of a lady, running, stretching or jumping a fence in a saree, in our culture, who cares? It’s a denim saree that stretches and lets you hustle it out. Feel free in a denim saree! 

All For Socks In Summer

Ask the person who told you socks are a winter-only accessory to put a sock in it! Socks are as much a summer accessory as one for winter. Socks are evergreen! You can wear socks all year round, all you need to do is a fair bit of research on the kind of patterns, textures and materials for each season-- we pulled our socks up and did that for you. Here’s all you need to know before you go on a sock shopping spree…

It is imperative you understand that plays a huge role in the construction of socks and that is why, you must make sure to read the hosiery composition on the packaging of your socks.

Socks don’t just look good during summer-- like in winter, socks serve as feet warmers, their primary functionality in summer is to keep your feet protected from excess heat and absorb sweat to keep even the sweatiest of feet dry when the temperatures reach an all time high. Additionally, they provide cushioning to the feet.

Now, how much support and absorbency your socks can provide you will depend on the yarn quality. If the Hosiery Yarn used in the production of these socks is of poor quality, naturally, you can’t expect them to last long or provide appropriate absorbency.

Then, if the socks aren’t knit properly and the hosiery yarn develops slubs (clumps of fibre sticking out) during the knitting process, the socks will not only be uncomfortable to wear because they’d poke your feet throughout the wearing duration, they might even lead to injuries.

So all you need to do is check your socks for smooth insides so they don’t hurt you and see that they stretch and retain shape. Also try them on to see if they don’t suffocate your feet and feel light as summer. Stripes, shapes or solids, wear ‘em flaunt ‘em!

The Importance Of Covered Spandex Yarn In The Garment Manufacturing Industry

Covered Spandex Yarn is not a commonly heard term for many, but for those who are involved in the manufacturing of yarn or garments, it is a resource to swear by. Why?

There are majorly two types of garments in the market-- fast moving high fashion garments or evergreen and less dynamic functional garments. Fashion garments are stylish dresses, shorts, trousers and spunky socks, to name a few. These go in and out of style very fast. Functional garments on the other hand tend to stay in the market for long with very few modifications like regular intimate wear, sports wear and more. Then somewhere there is a niche category for both fashionable and functional garments that pack the good qualities of both. The significant bit in this is that all of these three categories, in the current era are heavily dependent on covered spandex yarn.

How do you think your stretchable jeans gets its stretch as well as structure?

How do you think your bodycon dress fits like a second skin but still manages to give you breathing space?

How do you think your pantyhose manages to give you the perfect texture as well as freedom to move around like you have nothing on?

How do you think your intimate wear supports your body and retains its stretch?

All of this comes from the presence of good quality covered spandex yarn, like that brought to you by Inviya by Indorama, in your garments.

Can you imagine your life without this ingenious creation now?

Did You Know This About Spandex?

Here are some facts about spandex that will blow your mind

Spandex is a more popular name for elastane fibre

Spandex is capable of stretching up to 500% its size and recovering, without snapping

Elastane fibre was discovered by polymer chemist Farbenfabriken Bayer in the 1950’s as a cheaper alternative to rubber during the world war. Rubber was expensive and would weather easy. Since it was being used extensively for the construction of equipment, finding a cheaper alternative that would be stable in atmospheric shifts, was necessary. That is also why

Spandex does not weather in the presence of oil, sweat or mild detergents. Yes, it can be molded through heat setting at very high temperatures of 240 degree C

Spandex fabrics are more eco-friendly than natural fabrics because they are easy to recycle and use up less natural resources in their production or recycling process

While spandex blends may have either a 2 way stretch or a 4 way stretch depending up on their construction, spandex itself alone has a 4 way stretch which means that it can stretch in both horizontal and vertical directions at once

In the past people have complained of being allergic to spandex wear. That spandex causes allergy is a myth. Spandex does not trigger allergies but at the point of yarn twisting or fabric construction, if the elastane fibre is treated with substandard chemicals, those chemicals may trigger an allergic reaction.

Saving the best for last:

Spandex is actually an anagram of the word expands

All You Need To Know About Compression Wear

For those who don’t like the idea of even the slightest bumps revealing through tight fitted garments, compression wear is a blessing. Compression wear contours the body the way the wearer desires and supports it through long periods of use. But for those of you that didn’t know, compression wear has a purpose other than just shaping the body and concealing bulges-- there’s more.

There is an array of compression wear available in the market that serves the purpose of improving blood circulation, aside from controlling the appearance of the body and enhancing its appeal, thereby promoting well being through medical benefits.

These compression garments are made from special  that is, generally, a blend of spandex and nylon or polyester and sometimes cotton.

This type of hosiery yarn is special because it is very similar to regular spandex blend yarn in terms of appearance but it works secretly as a compression agent.

The fibre that is used to create this specialised Hosiery Yarn is crafted in a way that it has a controlled stretch that lends unique controlling abilities to the compression garment made out of it.

You will find this type of compression wear in the form of tights, tummy tuckers, stockings and socks. Earlier, compression wear came mostly in nude colours so that it would blend with the skin and not  show but designers are looking at making the functional garments fashionable by introducing new designs and textures so that it serves three purposes-- shaping the body, improving blood circulation and adding aesthetic appeal to your look while at it.

How Are Your Favourite Leggings Made?

Just the right amount of matt or shine…tailored for your legs and your legs only…velvety smooth like a rose petal…and most importantly, packing enough stretch to move around with ease-- all of these qualities and more make a pair of leggings, your favourite leggings. Leggings or jeggings or both. Have you ever wondered how your favourite leggings or jeggings are made? We’ll tell you how. Take some Bare Spandex yarn, some natural or synthetic yarn and a special machine that knits the two together. Bam! Your favourite legwear is ready.

Both jeggings and leggings are manufactured through a special knitting process called circular knitting. A circular knitting machine may look a bit complicated but the task it carries out is very simply defined. Several long needles work together to take bare spandex yarn and natural or synthetic hard yarn and interloop them again and again to create a smooth fabric in tubular form (for seamless leggings).

The fabric manufactured is inherently smooth and has stretch capabilities of its own, but the use of Bare Spandex yarn takes the stretch capabilities of the fabric to an increased level. The hard yarn used lends the leggings structure.

Some leggings are made using a flat knit technique. These types of leggings will have seams since they are cut out from a flat knit fabric and then sewn on a different machine.

Ergo, leggings or jeggings made using the circular knit technique will always be preferred over the ones made using a flat knit technique unless you are a fan if seams.

Taken For Granted Everyday- Elastane!

How is your skinny jeans stretchable… your bodycon dress snug but just enough breathable… your socks fitted but not suffocating… your intimate wear supportive but not restricting…? Don’t worry, we wont keep you guessing, the answer is-- Elastane fibre.

The presence of elastane fibre in all of the garments we mentioned renders them with one marvelous property-- stretch in structure. That means, even though your garment may appear small, snug and dangerously rigid, some of the attributes we associate with structured clothing, they magically turn pliant and expansive on stretching.

But the labels on these garments say cotton + spandex or polyester + spandex etc. So where is the elastane? Don’t get confused, spandex is the more common market name for elastane. What you see on the garment labels is the information of elastane or spandex blends with natural and synthetic yarns.

Yes, bare elastane fibre is never used in the manufacturing of garments. Like the very malleable 24K gold that needs to be amalgamated with stabler metals to be able to used in the make of jewellery, elastane needs to be blended with natural or synthetic yarns like cotton, rayon and polyester to maintain structure and fall out of shape on stretching.

While it is used in both fashion and functional garments, it would interest you to know that the elastane was actually invented as a substitute for rubber during World War II. Little did Mr. Farbenfabriken Bayer, polymerist and the inventor of elastane fibre, know that he would revolutionise the fashion and garments manufacture industry with just a little bit of stretch… a lot of stretch actually, elastane can expand upto 500% its size on stretching and recover on letting go!

Switch To Active Wear For Utmost Freedom Of Movement

Comfort is one of the most important elements in clothing physiology. You may buy the most stylish garments from the most expensive retail outlets but if you dont feel comfortable wearing them it is sure that you will ditch them sooner or later. Perhaps this is one reason why comfort clothes like hoodies and sweat pants have forayed out of gyms and fitness houses and have become a staple wear which we don with elan during weekend outings. If recent survery are to be believed, active wear garments like Tees and cargoes have become more popular than most other garments in the last couple of years. So much so, that people now-a-days hyave no hesitations in wearing them for work too.

If you think you are lagging behind in terms of active wear, here are some essentials you should stock up your wardrobe with this season!

1. T-Shirts and a lot of them

The good old T-shirt is hard to beat. The quintessential jeans and t-shirt look is probably as young as ever and no competition stands a chance infront of it! If you want a quick synchronization of comfort and style, stock up on t-shirts. Buy them in solid colors, in graphic prints, in stripes, in any way they come in! Garment manufacturing units are gradually taking t-shirts seriously and are spending a lot of time researching on how to make this classic garment more robust and productive. This is one reason why there has been an increase in the demand for Cotton Stretch Yarn. Inviya fibre is one of a kind spandex yarn which textile manufacturers Indorama has developed to make garments more adaptabile to the needs of users. Next time you head out to buy t-shirts, make sure you look out for the presence of Inviya fashion fibre and leverage the flawless comfort of active wear!

2.  Hoodies

If you thought that hoodies were restricted only to the precincts of your gym, you were getting it wrong the entire time. Conventional fashion has taken a back seat and experimental fashion is reigning like never before, which explains why hoodies and sweatshirts have become a staple wear. High quality cotton stretch yarn is used for the production of Inviya fibre which is used to make hoodies more versatile in performance. The presence of inviya fashion fibre retains the stretch property of clothes thereby keeping them young despite repeated usage. It also prevents clothes from shrinking while washing them.

3. Sweat Pants

Tired of wearing jeans and trousers for weekend outings? Try wearing a pair of sweat pants and hang out at your comfortable best. Sweat pants lets you breathe like never before and also helps to contour your curves. 

The Secret Ingredient To The Perfect Jeans

Is there anything such as the perfect jeans? Remember you walked out of the house wearing your trusty tough skinny jeans on a sunny day and regretted it because your legs felt suffocated? Then there was the time when your light airy jeans tore at the slightest pull at the seams because of little weight gain. Is the perfect breathable, fitted, rugged and comfortable jeans a myth? Not really… Not if the jeans you purchased is made of denim fabric constructed out of high quality polyester stretch yarn.

The thing about high quality denim fabric constructed out of Polyester Stretch Yarn is that it combines the best of all features you would expect in any wearable. To begin with, it is light as a feather but strong enough to sustain challenging wear and tear. Then, if woven properly, like in high end brands like Inviya by Indorama, the fabric has moisture wicking (pulling) properties, making the fabric breathable even in the most hot and humid weather conditions. Finally, it is an intelligent fabric that moves with your body, making it feel like a second skin.

That is why jeans made out of high end denim fabric constructed out of Polyester Stretch Yarn are the solution to all your jeans problems. They not only look great but also feel great and last umpteen wears and washes. An all round performer!

Selecting jeans made to suit lifestyle is not such a difficult thing after all. Now you can wear smart with style!

Interesting Facts About Polyester Fabric

Mostly all of us have heard the name of polyester, but there is only a fraction of population who has a clear idea about what it is actually. Frankly, how many of us check the clothing labels while shopping? Only a few! Sometimes, we don’t even have an understanding as to what we are wearing. So, there can be chances that you might have several dresses of polyester in your closet, but you must be completely ignorant about it!

Polyester is one of the synthetic fabrics that has been widely used in different sectors, but basically it finds usage in apparel or fashion industry. Mainly, there are Polyester in its purest form, blended form and mixed with polyester stretch yarn available in the market. Here are some of the facts about Polyester fabric that you might not want to miss:

• Polyester is a synthetic fabric, which is quite durable and does not stretch or shrink. 
• This fabric includes some of the naturally occurring chemicals as well as some synthetic ones. 
• It is water-resistant and has a tendency to absorb and hold color beautifully.
