Smart Fabric Is The Clothing Of The Future

Look around everywhere, are you? Well, everything around you is getting smart from watches to phones, fridges, TV’s, houses and probably women, too.

- Myron Braganza

The simple reason behind it is, technology. The smarter tech gets, the lazier you get. I’m sure in the near future we want everything around us to get intelligent. What are we missing then? There is a saying, “You need to dress well to look smart and God knows how many times we have heard this, when we are going for an interview, a meeting or a date?” First impressions are your last, isn’t it? Have you wondered what if you don’t have to worry about that anymore? What if the clothing itself plans on getting smart? Hence, the next big thing in wearable tech is smart clothing. Then, why are we so fixated on watches and bands? The wearable tech market is full of fitness-obsessed products for workout-loving people with thick wrists and deep pockets. No one in the industry wants to admit it, but the wrist is probably not the best place to stick a bunch of sensors.

WHAT DOES SMART CLOTHING HAVE IN STORE FOR US?

1. We see smart clothing breaking out of their niche status ultimately, eclipsing the markets for all other types of wearable tech.

2. From intelligent T-shirts to jackets that will aid in charging our cell phones and will be moulded around our bodies.

3. Smart clothing will unite the popular lifestyle appeal of athletic wear with all the bells and whistles from a device, bridging the gap of wearability and fashion.

4. Fabric will include everything from your daily wear like shirts, socks, shorts, underwear, bra, shoes, etc.
