material definition and meaning

What is "material"?

Material refers to the fabric or substance used to create a garment. Materials can vary in texture, weight, and durability, and can include natural fibers such as cotton, wool, silk, and linen, as well as synthetic fibers such as polyester, nylon, and spandex. The choice of material can affect the way a garment looks, feels, and performs, and can be influenced by factors such as the desired level of warmth, breathability, and moisture-wicking properties. Additionally, materials can be combined or manipulated through techniques such as weaving, knitting, and dyeing to create unique textures, patterns, and colors in the final garment.
