Ever wondered why something soft and fuzzy makes you feel happy, something silky and smooth makes you feel calm?
The texture of the material can affect our mood and emotions.
We first check out the color and touch the surface of a piece of fabric: soft, smooth, rough, etc. If the fabric is not comfortable or doesn’t meet the quality expectation, we draw the line on buying it right there. As our clothes are the closest thing to our body, no one likes to wear something rough and scratchy.
The texture sets the mood, it tells others what kind of a person you are and can you be
approached.
● “Faded familiarity” is associated with silk, satin and lace.
● A sensation of energy is evoked with denim and Lycra.
● A sense of “sumptuous balance” is invoked with velvet and Irish linen.
● A surge of relaxing and warm feeling is felt with tweed and fleece.
