Fabric recommendations:
Elegant: Choose a lightweight, smooth jersey such as Punto di Roma, microfiber jersey or a fine modal jersey.
Sporty and robust: Go for French terry, structured sweater fabric, or a lightweight softshell with stretch.
Fibre content: Cotton, viscose or polyester blend with 5-10% elastane for comfort and shape retention.
Weight: Light to medium weight (approx. 180-280 g/m2), depending on the desired look and season.
Features: Choose a fabric with good stretch and recovery for freedom of movement. Go for something smooth and supple for an elegant finish, or choose a slightly more textured fabric with a matte surface for a sportier vibe.
Finishing tip: Details such as contrast stitching, inserts or coloured zips can further personalise the look.
