2020/21 spring and summer sports fabric trend forecast
As consumer demand for sustainable solutions grows, innovative designs from nature will become more common and important. In the spring and summer of 2021, vegetable dyes will be favored in the sportswear market because consumers are increasingly environmentally conscious and benefit from the brand's use of plant dyes in their clothing and footwear. At the same time, plant fiber fabrics have paved the way for the development of new textures, leading the trend of advocating natural forms. Respect the texture and irregularities of natural vegetable dyes and unprocessed materials, and incorporate these unpredictability and uniqueness into the product.
Applicable scenes: sports and leisure, all-weather sports, yoga, recovery after exercise.
Professional performance knitted fabric
In terms of knitted fabrics, the combination of manual texture and professional performance, after entering the spring and summer of 2021, tends to emphasize the individualized size and focus on the concept of zero waste. Knitted fabrics are inherently wireless and can be specially designed to provide support and breathability for specific parts of the body. Consider adding recycled wool or using merino wool to enhance the inter-season performance of the fabric. You can use splicing of excess yarn to create a sustainable personality design. You can also consider using color contrast to design knitted fabrics, adding layering and creating discoloration with the wearer's stretching and movement.
Applicable scenes: yoga, stretching, fitness, all-weather sports.
Matte and quick-dry jersey
Under any circumstance, this quick-drying jersey fabric maintains a matte finish, adding a touch of sophistication to the sporty style, and the darker shades further enhance this effect. With a dry touch, the matte finish of this smooth fabric is further highlighted. Its moisture absorption performance keeps the fabric sweat-free and smooth for a long time, showing a sense of movement while still being elegant. Maintain a smooth silhouette, with a choice of monochrome, or add a soft color with bright cut pieces to create a contemporary youth style. At the same time, the stitching marks and edge lines should be folded inward to minimize the stitching.
Applicable scene: fitness, training, yoga.

Textured soft shell fabric
A new generation of textured soft-shell fabric revives the luxe sport of the 1980s casual sportswear, but it is lighter and exhibits a natural, irregular structure. The light texture and dry feel enhance the sophistication, while also combining the elasticity and breathability of the woven fabric, which can be used to create a single item for a hot summer day.
