A close up look of all kinds of fabrics
Fabrics are the backbone of all clothes, curtains, upholstery and accessories that you see around you. It determines how something will feel on your skin, how it will be hanging and how long it will serve. It does not matter that you are creating a fashion line, choosing the upholstery material, or picking the fabric to create a certain craft, you need to know the pros and cons of each of them. When the correct fabric is chosen, the end product is raised to a higher level in terms of quality and use, but when the incorrect fabric is used it can reduce the quality in terms of comfort, durability, and appearance.
Here we discuss 28 common fabrics, which are used in any industry, and divide them into natural, semisynthetic, synthetic, and specialty fabrics. Every fabric description lists its main characteristics, advantages, and disadvantages, and typical uses, so you can have the clarity you need to make your selection with confidence in your next project. At the end, you will know more than just the names of these fabrics, but what textures, behaviors and styles they can add to your design.
Natural Fabrics
The use of natural fabrics dates back centuries because they are comfortable, breathable, and very timeless. In the following sections, we will look at six of the most common types, each featuring a different texture, performance characteristics and best applications, so you can select the ideal material to use on your next project with certainty.
1. Cotton

Cotton is the most popular and favourite fabric in the world, because it is extremely soft, breathable and versatile. It is harvested in the fluffy fibers that grow around the seeds of the cotton plant to provide a smooth, natural feel that is gentle on the skin making it comfortable to wear every day. Cotton is absorbent, hypoallergenic and can be used in a great variety of weaves, soft and light, airy voiles and heavy and sturdy canvases. It is so versatile that it can be used in casual T-shirts and dresses as well as in high quality bed linen and upholstery.
Despite all its advantages cotton tends to wrinkle and it may shrink unless it is pre-shrunk or mixed with synthetic fibers. It does however take dyes beautifully, producing very bright, long lasting colors. Polyester, spandex or any other type of fiber may be blended to give stretch, enhance wrinkle resistance and durability all the while maintaining the natural comfort of cotton. Cotton is a household name in the textile market because of its comfort and functionality, as well as its affordability either singularly or in a combination.
2. Linen

Linen is a simple, breathable material, produced out of flax plant fibers, and has a long history of keeping wearers cool during hot weather. Its texture is a little bit rougher and has a natural shine, which makes it look more demure, and it can be used in both casual summer attire or more elegant tablecloths or even lightweight curtains. Compared to cotton, linen fibers are more durable, so items made of this fabric can be used many decades, provided they are looked after properly. Due to its breathability and lightweight, it is easy to see why it is often used in tropical and coastal climates because it causes moisture and heat to escape easily.
Linen however tends to wrinkle and this can be considered as part of its casual appeal. It is also not as elastic as a lot of other fabrics and therefore there is often a mix with cotton or synthetics to make it more flexible and less prone to creasing. Whether as summer wear, in the interiors of beach houses, or in the more luxurious home environment, linen presents an all-time blend of utility, style, and durability that has been admired over centuries.
3. Silk

Silk is an expensive natural protein fiber produced by silkworms, which has unsurpassed smoothness, soft sheen, and elegant hang. It has the ability to cool the skin during hot seasons and provide warmth during cooler seasons since it is naturally thermo-regulated. Its properties coupled with strength and lustre make it ideal in high end evening wear, scarves, ties, lingerie and bedding. The manner in which silk captures light gives a distinctive feel to clothes making it more beautiful and elegant.
Silk is more delicate than most fabrics as it is prone to weakening when wet and easy to stain. Most silk products are marked dry-clean only, but some modern processing has eased home care of some silk products. Nevertheless, these care needs do not deprive silk of the status of one of the most popular fabrics in the world of people who want to be beautiful, comfortable, and timelessly elegant in their fabrics.
4. Wool

Wool is a naturally insulating and durable fiber that comes in the form of fleece of sheep, and other animals, including alpaca, goats and rabbits. It is available in many forms merino wool to be exceptionally soft, cashmere to be luxuriously warm, and tweed to be ruggedly durable and each with its own unique feel and performance. The natural elasticity of wool assists clothing to retain its shape and its moisture absorbent properties without being damp mean wool is a good choice in cold, wet climates. These characteristics have positioned wool as the foundation of bespoke suits, warm sweaters, winter coats and warm blankets.
Wool, however, may be costly as compared to plant-based fibers and may need special washing techniques, like dry cleaning or handwashing, so that it does not shrink. But with modern treatments, the machine washable wool blend that retains the fabric’s benefits while making care easier is available. Due to the combination of its warmth, breathability, and long-term durability, wool is an invaluable fabric in both cosmetic and practical clothes.
5. Hemp

Hemp is an eco-friendly natural fiber that also does not need much water or any pesticides to cultivate. It creates a fabric that is extremely strong, breathable and naturally resistant to mould and UV damage. Hemp textiles become softer after every wash, becoming more comfortable with use and retaining its durability. These attributes make hemp an ideal sustainable clothing, reusable bag, upholstery, and home-ware like curtains and rugs.
Despite the fact that hemp used to be considered coarse, the current methods of processing it have made it exceptionally soft and it is comparable in feel to linen. Its vintage, organic look is attractive to the environmentally-conscious, and it is a financially practical alternative to other alternatives even though the initial cost is a little higher. With the rising popularity of sustainable fashion, the strength, comfort, and sustainable impact of hemp have made sure that this natural material holds its own in the current textile industry.
6. Jute

Jute is a rough, strong fiber that is extracted out of the stalks of jute plants and commonly known as the golden fiber due to its golden-brown natural color. It is one of the cheapest natural fibers and is mostly applied in products in which strength is more important than softness e.g. rugs, sacks, storage baskets and rope. The rustic textured look of Jute also makes it very popular in Bohemian, coastal, and eco-themed interior designs. It is also biodegradable and compostable, an added attribute to its status as a sustainable material.
Jute is hardly ever used in clothing because it feels rough to touch. It is however very handy, cheap and has little environmental impact, hence making it ideal when it comes to packaging, crafts and decorations. Blended into durable flooring fabrics or into a decorative trim, jute provides a distinctive, natural earth tone, which ties rooms and products to the outdoors.
Semi-Synthetic Fabrics
Semi-synthetic materials combine the comfort of natural materials with the advances of modern chemistry to provide a more durable, flowing and versatile material. The following section will discuss five versatile choices between tradition and technology and assist in locating materials that can be both beautiful, functional, and sustainable.
7. Rayon

Rayon, made of regenerated cellulose, typically using wood pulp as the source, is among the oldest of semi-synthetic fibers. It is famous due to its silk texture, a soft fall, and the way it resembles the look of natural materials such as cotton, linen, or silk. Rayon is comfortable to wear in warm weather, does not easily wrinkle and can absorb moisture, thus making it very comfortable in dresses and blouses and as house furnishing. Their flexibility can be used to manufacture them in different textures, such as smooth satins, or crisper woven blends.
But rayon has a disadvantage, its fibres weaken in moisture, and are more easily torn by careless treatment in washing. The majority of rayon fabrics should be washed with care (gently by hand or dry cleaned) so as to maintain the soft feel and form. Although not as long-lasting as some synthetics, rayon will give a rich look and feel at a more reasonable price than pure silk or linen.
8. Modal
Close up photograph of modal fabric
Modal is a kind of rayon which has undergone some chemical treatment to enhance strength, softness and shrink resistance. The smoothness as well as its breathability are the reasons that modal is considered to be a go-to fabric for undergarments, active wear and lounge wear. It keeps its shape longer than regular rayon, does not pill, and when washed over and over, it stays soft, making it perfect in clothing that requires comfort as well as durability.
The other attractive aspect of modal is that it is more environmentally friendly to produce as compared to traditional rayon. Although it still needs delicate treatment, modal can be combined with cotton or spandex to produce stretchy, moisture-wicking and resilient fabrics; something that can be worn every day.
9. Lyocell (Tencel)
A closeup image of lyocell fabric
Another high-tech version of rayon is lyocell, sometimes sold as the brand Tencel, produced in a closed-loop manufacture process that reduces waste and limits the use of chemicals. Its smooth and soft fibers are slightly lustrous with good moisture management features, which makes it highly viable in the eco-friendly fashion market. Lyocell clothes are breathable, inherently bacteria-resistant, and non-abrasive even on very sensitive skin.
It is commonly used in denim, dress shirts, bed linen and sustainable athleisure. Although lyocell is a more durable type of rayon it does enjoy being washed and cleaned softly so that it does not lose its softness or drape. The fact that it is sustainable, comfortable and versatile has seen it become a favorite among the designers and the consumers interested in greener textile options.
10. Acetate
Close-up picture of acetate fabric
Acetate is a semi-synthetic fiber made of cellulose but having acetic acid applied to it which gives it the characteristic shiny finish and soft luxurious drape. This is light in weight, does not shrink, and takes dye beautifully, so it is employed much in linings, evening dresses, and fancy ribbons. The fact that acetate is able to emulate the appearance of silk without the exorbitant cost makes it a well received formalwear option.
Acetate is, however, susceptible to intense heat, and certain chemicals will harm it, so it is typically dry-cleaned. Although it is not as long lasting as a polyester or nylon, it is an elegant and soft material, which is an effective solution to those garments where beauty is more important than high-performance.
11. Bamboo Fabric

Bamboo fabric is made out of the pulp of bamboo plants to form a soft and silky material which is antibacterial and moisture-wicking in nature. Its breathability & gentle touch makes it a go to for baby clothes, activewear & high end bedding. Not only are bamboo fibers hypo-allergenic (good on sensitive skins) but they are also very soft and skin kind.
Bamboo fabrics are not always as environmentally friendly as they are touted to be, but this depends on how they are made. Bamboo that is processed mechanically (like linen production) is more ecologically-friendly, whereas chemically-treated bamboo (viscose) is questionable as far as its impact on the environment is concerned. Still, its comfort, softness and natural performance qualities keep it in great demand across the fashion and home textiles industries.
Synthetic Fabrics
Through sheer human ingenuity, synthetic fabrics are engineered to be optimal in terms of their performance, durability, and versatility in all manners of applications. In the next section we will take a look at seven common choices that are all exceptional as far as durability, low maintenance and niche applications are concerned.
12. Polyester
Close up shot of polyester fabric
Polyester is a very popular man-made fiber used in the world today due to its durability, wrinkle resistant, and drying properties. It doesn’t shrink or stretch, making it a reliable option for sportswear, uniforms and home textiles such as curtains and upholstery. Polyester can also be mixed with natural fibers like cotton or wool to make it stronger and more durable and at the same time affordable. The capacity of the fiber to retain its structure and avoid fading with time means that clothes and fabrics are able to retain their new look with little care.
One drawback that is commonly associated with polyester is that it does not breathe as well as natural fibers which can cause discomfort in hot and humid conditions. But with the development of textile technology, moisture-wicking, breathable polyester fabrics have been created with the goal of supporting high-performance athletic apparel. Its versatility, color-fastness and affordability has made polyester an essential textile fibre not just in fashion but in home décor industry as well. Given the correct construction it can provide both durability and style.
13. Nylon
Close-up picture of nylon material
Nylon is a powerful and flexible artificial fiber that has outstanding properties of resisting abrasion, mildew, and wear. It is lightweight but very durable, making it one of the best choices of active wear, hosiery, swim wear and outdoor equipment like tents and backpacks. Nylon has elastic properties that enable clothing to retain its shape after being worn and a quick-drying rating which makes it suitable in traveling and sports apparel. Depending on the type of texture required, manufacturers are able to design nylon to resemble a range of textures including silky smooth and rugged and coarse, which increases its usage.
Although nylon is strong and durable, it is not breathable as natural fibers because it can trap heat, and this could be a drawback in warm areas. Even though it still lags behind in terms of technical and performance fabrics, it is still a leader because of its durability and versatility. It is durable because it does not pill or get damaged by moisture hence it is a reliable material in both fashion and functional items.
14. Acrylic
Close up photo of acrylic fabric
Acrylic is a man-made lightweight fiber which has been designed to look like wool. It is typically used on sweaters, scarves, blankets and outdoor materials because it is moisture, mildew and sun resistant. Acrylic is an excellent dye-holder, and produces long-lasting and bright colors that remain undimmed after long use. It is inexpensive and simple to take care of, and therefore a good alternative to individuals who desire to look and feel of wool but do not wish to pay the additional price or treatment.
But acrylic is not breathable as natural wool and even the cheap ones may be scratchy or rough. It is also subject to pilling, at least in the long run, under heavy use. However, its low weight insulation, waterproof and cost-effectiveness, does keep acrylic at a relatively steady demand as a fabric in home and clothing.
15. Spandex
An up-close photograph of a spandex material
Spandex, which is also called Lycra or elastane, is famous due to its unbelievable elasticity. This versatility makes it a must-have in garments where there’s movement and comfort needed, such as active wear, swim wear, leggings and fitted garments. Spandex helps to improve the fit and comfort of clothes so that it feels snug and supportive without movement-limiting effects. It is nearly always combined with other fibers, which provide stretch and leave the original fabric with its appearance and texture.
Although spandex is hardly ever worn on its own, its impact on the current fashion industry can hardly be denied. It changed sportswear and performance apparel by creating garments that were more flexible to the body movement. The fiber also resists sweat, body oil, and abrasion, which further increases the life of the garments that it is incorporated into. Nothing can beat spandex when flexibility, resilience, and a comfortable fit is needed.
16. Microfiber

Microfiber is the extremely fine synthetic fiber commonly composed of either polyester, nylon or a combination of both. It is extremely absorbent with a soft, lightweight and tightly woven nature that makes it ideal in cleaning cloths, sports clothes and upholstery. Microfiber repels water but has some breathability, and is thus a suitable fabric in outdoor equipment and performance clothing as well as waterproof clothing. It is also appreciated in style and interior because of its smoothness, color retention and toughness.
Microfiber is particularly common in home textiles, mainly as furniture upholstery, since it is stain proof, easily washed, and durable. It is also easy to wash and dry in machines and this is convenient when using the dress in daily activities. Although it is able to attract static and lint, these disadvantages are insignificant in relation to its advantages. This has made it a favorite cloth in various sectors as diverse as cleaning to couture, because of its softness, practicality and resilience
17. Olefin
Closeup picture of olefin cloth
Olefin is another synthetic lightweight strong fiber which is also referred to as polypropylene fiber and is characterized by its resistance to stains, moisture, and mildew. It is extensively applied in carpets, outdoor furniture, car interiors and also in industries where high use is required. Olefin also does not fade easily in the sun and can be a very good option in outdoor settings and maritime materials. This is due to its low moisture absorption that allows it to dry up fast even when it is wet.
It is affordable and requires low maintenance which makes it very appealing to both residential and business buyers. Although olefin is not as luxurious looking as natural fabrics, its durability and dependability lend it to heavy-wear and outdoor use where luxuriousness is not as much of an issue. It is able to be created in many colors and textures, both practical and decorative.
18. PVC-Coated Fabrics
A macro shot of a PVC coated fabric
PVC coated fabrics are rugged textiles usually polyester or cotton coated with polyvinyl chloride to help make them waterproof and durable. Such a coating makes them highly waterproof, stain proof, and wear resistant tremendously increasing their life span. They have many applications including raincoats, tarps, luggage, protective covers and upholstery in high-moisture areas including boats and outdoor seating. They are very durable and they have thick, protective surface, which makes them suitable in industrial and outdoors where performance is a key concern.
However, PVC coated fabrics are normally stiffer and lack breathability compared to other materials thus they are used due to their protective features as opposed to comfort. They are also low maintenance and can survive extreme weather conditions hence a reliable option when it comes to challenging conditions. Where softness is not such a priority, as in the case of durability and water resistance, PVC-coated fabrics have no equal in performance.
Luxury Fabrics
Whether it is the luxurious sheen of satin or the fine grace of lace, specialty and luxury fabrics are selected because they help make a statement and enhance any design. Finally, we will discuss ten beautiful choices, which will add texture, drama, and sophistication and will allow you to choose the right fabric to make iconic fashion or interior elements.
19. Velvet
Close up of velvet fabric
Velvet is a high-end fabric that is dense with soft pile making it very rich in texture and deep lustrous. Traditionally, velvet is made with silk, and in the past was also a symbol of extreme wealth and nobility because the procedure of its manufacturing included specific weaving patterns and much labour. Nowadays, it is easily available, and its modern versions are made of cotton, polyester, rayon or blends that would have the same plush feeling but at a cheaper price. With its soft surface and sophisticated drape, it is a go-to for evening gowns, fitted blazers, statement furniture and dramatic curtains to add a touch of instant style to fashion and interiors.
Although it is beautiful, velvet needs to be handled with care so that it can continue to present the luxurious look. It is highly susceptible to permanent marks when it is crushed or matted, thus should be stored and cleaned with utmost care, usually by professional dry cleaners. Modern velvets are more resistant and some are suitable for everyday upholstery whilst others should be left to special occasion items or ornamental objects. No matter if the rich fabrics are draped in opulent formal wear or lavish home decor, velvet still says elegance and classy timeless luxury.
20. Chiffon
A macro shot of chiffon fabric
Chiffon is a thin, transparent fabric of elegantly twisted threads which give them their delicate, coarse feel. It may be manufactured out of silk to be luxurious, polyester to be affordable, or nylon to be more durable. Chiffon is a popular choice in evening gowns, blouses, scarves and overlays because it has an airy, flowing drape that adds softness, romance and movement. It is translucent and can be creatively layered to allow the garments to have a dreamy, ethereal look without making them look heavy.
Due to its fineness, chiffon is very flimsy and so it should be handled with care during sewing and wearing. Seams may need special finishes, and clothes are to be hand-washed or dry-cleaned so as to maintain the integrity of the fabric. Although such care considerations exist, chiffon is still used due to its stylish nature and elegance and versatility in its design. Chiffon, when combined with stouter fabrics, will offer a fine balance, and therefore it is always a classic to add finesse to any ensemble.
21. Satin
Photograph of satin fabric up close
Satin is not a fiber, but a weaving process which produces a smooth shiny side and a dull back. Although it was originally made of silk, satin is frequently made of polyester or acetate to produce a less costly alternative. Its shimmery glow and fluidity qualify it to grace bridal dresses, lingerie, evening dresses and high end drapes. The reflective properties of the fabric instills a sense of glamourous, luxurious design in garments.
But its fine fabric has a smooth surface which is easily snagged and pulled, and this should be treated with care and stored carefully. To avoid abrasion and to keep the smoothness, many satin garments are lined. Even though it is delicate, satin remains a favourite for special occasion wear because of its opulent appearance and fluid movement. It is commonly used by designers to make statement pieces that are sophisticated and classic.
22. Organza
Photo of organza material in close up view
Organza is a smooth and sheer material, which is lightweight and yet sturdy, and has traditionally been woven of silk, but now is usually made of polyester to give it extra strength. It also has a firm body that enables it to take shapes easily hence it is best suited to structured overlays, wedding gowns, evening dresses and even home decorations. Translucency and slight shimmer of the fabric lend any design some elegance and lightness.
Even though organza has a lightweight weave that can be snagged or torn, it is also strong in terms of maintaining its shape, which is why it is a popular choice to layer and thicken a garment without bulk. It is not unusual to find a designer overlaying opaque materials with organza to get more depth, dimension, and even a bit of glam. When treated with care (e.g. handwashing or dry cleaner) organza pieces can last years without losing their beauty and shape.
23. Lace
An up close picture of lace fabric
Lace is also an openworked fabric, usually of a highly patterned nature, either subtle, as in a floral work, or bold, as in geometric or abstract designs. It may be handcrafted to a finer artisanal standard or produced by machine to be accessible, with fibers such as cotton, silk or synthetics. The romantic and ornate nature of lace makes it a favorite with wedding dresses, lingerie, accessories and decorative home furnishings such as table runners and curtains.
Although lace is fragile and is best treated with mild care, synthetic blends can provide unexpected strength and greater durability. This versatility allows the use of lace on the traditional heirloom and modern and fashion forward products. Whether it is providing a hint of detail to an outfit or forming the centerpiece of a design, lace has lasting value that cuts across both generations and styles.
24. Tweed
Cropped photograph of tweed material
Tweed is a rough, woolen cloth prized because of its warmth, ruggedness and texture. It is commonly twilled, or herringboned, or check-woven, and earthy in colour, as befits the origin of it in rural Britain. Tweed was originally an outdoor cloth and therefore offers very good insulation and weather protection making it suitable in jackets, coats, skirts, and caps.
Gradually, tweed has evolved to be a high-fashion sophistication rather than a countryside practicality, and has been adopted by such high-end designers as its rugged appeal and unique designs. It is thick and sturdy, which guarantees longevity and its rough surface provides the garments with some depth. The practicality combined with elegance makes Tweed not only relevant in the classic wardrobe, but also in the present-day wardrobe.
25. Denim
Close up picture of denim fabric
Denim is a robust cotton twill, and is immediately identifiable by its diagonal weave and classic indigo dye. Durable and tear-resistant, denim does not fray easily and keeps its form, which is why it is the fabric of choice when it comes to jeans, jackets, overalls, and work clothes. It is also versatile in fashion-forward items like dresses, skirts, and even accessories with a variety of finishes in raw and rigid to pre-washed and soft.
Among the most adored attributes of denim is the power to acquire an individual patina, as it fades and wears in distinctive patterns that are a testament to the wearer and his or her style of life. This individual fading process personalizes every denim product into a unique item. Whether in the harshest working conditions or on glamorous catwalks, the classic beauty and incomparable durability of denim have made it an international standard.
26. Flannel
A macro shot of flannel material
Flannel is a soft, warm fabric with a brushed surface that can be made from cotton, wool or a combination of fibres. The brushed finish traps air, creating an insulating layer to keep chilly air from seeping in while still allowing the fabric to breathe. This is why flannel is great for cold-weather clothing like shirts, sleepwear and robes, as well as home textiles like blankets and bed sheets. Its soft texture is comfortable against the skin, it makes for a go to item for loungewear and for bedding in colder climates.
Flannel can be plain or twill woven, twill will give more durability and structure. It sometimes has a plaid or check pattern, the classic design associated with rustic, casual style. The warmth, softness, and flexibility of the fabric have enabled the fabric to become a favorite during seasons, particularly autumn and winter. Whether it’s for classic lumberjack shirts, trendy oversized jackets or home decor accents, flannel’s classic charm keeps it in steady demand year after year.
27. Fleece
Closeup of fleece fabric
Fleece is an artificial fiber, usually polyester, aimed at providing superior warmth without the bulk of a natural wool. The fibers are brushed to form insulating air pockets on its soft, plush surface, which also helps to trap body heat. Fleece is also fast-drying, water-repellent and keeps you warm even when wet, which makes it ideal in outdoor wear, in sports and travel. It is popular in jackets, pullovers, blankets and loungewear due to its comfort and the ease of care.
Fleece is not only hypoallergenic but can be washed in a machine without the risk of shrinking like wool. But it is prone to pilling over time, particularly under heat use, but better quality fleece fabrics are made to resist. It can be used as a layer, as its lightweight insulation and breathable properties will keep people warm but not overheated. Whether you are on a hike or you are curling up on the couch with a warm blanket, fleece is a tried-and-true blend of functionality and comfort in any environment.
28. Tulle
A detail shot of tulle fabric
Tulle is a lightweight, sheer, open-weaved netting fabric that is either made of silk, nylon or polyester. It can be employed to give a volume and texture but not weight and it is popularly used in tutus, veils, wedding dresses, and layered skirts. The airiness of tulles adds a whimsical, romantic touch to clothes and some tulles are stiff enough to maintain their shape to create more dramatic silhouettes.
Although tulle appears fragile, it can be quite durable when it comes to the fiber and weave used. It is available in varying weights, with ultra soft to be used in delicate overlays to stiffer versions to be used in structured designs. Other than fashion, tulle also comes in handy in event decoration, wrapping of gifts, and crafts in order to bring a feel of beauty and lightness. Whether sparingly applied as an accent or heavily layered to give theatrical presence, tulle is one of those materials that will always be used in designs that require ethereal beauty.
