Undyed Wool for Trending Women's Wear Fall Winter 2025

Image
  UNDYED VIRGIN WOOL In a general mood for classic style, sustainable materials and processes, and soft contrast patterns the black, grey and off white natural wool colors are the mean to create beautiful subdued patterns without using any dyes. Undyed wool becomes then the mean to create small effects, classic-style checks created by houndstooth patterns or fancy checks in leno weave for jackets, coats and skirts. From the Italtex color forecast and fabric trend book Womenswear Fall / Winter 2025/26 .

ItaltexTrends: Fabric and Colour Trends for Shirting AW 2022/23

  The difficulties caused by Covid-19 still influence the shirting fashion trends for Autumn/Winter 2022/23. Nevertheless, it is a season rich in new inputs, especially in terms of qualities, where we assist in a general change driven by research, with finishes creating mainly bulky and soft-touch hands. Therefore, flannel and moleskin warm and comfortable shirts make a statement by themselves, especially in the trending cobalt blue. A touch of colour on neutral and reddish-brown grounds as well as the addiction of melange 3D window-pane checks update flannel, the winter season's best-seller.

  The new Spring/Summer will be rich of light colors. Starting from total white, the color palette will be then enriched with different tints and shades, up to the brightest hues. Total white will be important, and it represents a white sheet to restart from, expressed by compact cotton canvases made uneven by coarser yarns. Yet, it is also interpreted in low count yarn elaborate structures and crochet entrelacs, 100% recycled polyester for subdued yet clean jacquard and, as opposed, terry effect sweater in viscose/elite, the PBT polyester with natural stretch features and chlorine and UV ray resistant.

Trending sustainable fibers: linen

Image
Last year I wrote on the evolution of the textile industry and its trends on sustainability. Of course, the impact of this key theme has expanded greatly over the months, so I seize the chance to raise the subject again, analyzing the importance of a key natural fiber: linen. Dominant material of Spring/Summer 2021 for woven menswear , this ancient fiber is the answer to two key trends: sustainability and a sports look. A natural fiber coming from flax, which requires very little water, pesticides and retains huge quantities of CO2, linen can be used without dyeing, since it naturally offers a rich colour palette. Additionally, linen's natural slubs confer a sports look to the fabrics woven with them. We find it in most trendy interpretations for jackets, trousers and sports shirts, especially in the Italtex fabric trend books of: Sports Style for Jackets, Menswear Drapperia, Menswear Scenario, Sports Shirts and Knit Shirts
