Technical Fabrics
If you’re wondering what a technical fabric is, well these fabrics are engineered to meet specific needs and requirements. One example of a technical fabric is sports wear. They are engineered to be stretchable while being able to withstand excessive physical exertion.
And these technical fabrics, sportswear to be specific, are great to be worn in weather conditions like, Singapore. They are sweat absorbent and most importantly, do not leave a sweat patch mark. Some items like the Flynn Fitted Cropped Bra Top from Love, Bonito &REA collection, can be paired with a maroon skirt or shorts to set the National Day spirit!
