5 Fabrics Trending This Season
Fabric trends move slower than fashion trends — a great fiber choice stays relevant for years, not months. Here's what's showing up most in the pieces our customers are making right now.
1. Rayon challis
Lightweight, fluid, and easy to sew, rayon challis has become the go-to for flowy dresses and blouses that need real movement. It takes prints beautifully, which is why botanical and abstract patterns are everywhere this season.
2. Boiled wool felt
No fraying, no hemming, no fuss. Boiled wool's dense, felted structure makes it a favorite for clean-edged jackets, bags, and accessories — especially in deep, saturated colors like forest green and rust.
3. Satin charmeuse
Satin's soft sheen has moved beyond eveningwear into everyday separates — slip skirts, relaxed button-downs, even loungewear. Charmeuse specifically is popular for its fluid drape without the stiffness of heavier satins.
4. Raw selvedge denim
For makers who want denim that ages with character, raw selvedge is having a real moment. Unwashed and untreated, it develops fades and creases unique to how it's worn — a favorite for anyone making their own jeans or jackets.
5. Ponte knit
Structured enough to hold a silhouette but soft enough to move with you, ponte jersey is the quiet workhorse behind a lot of the "elevated basics" trend — fitted trousers, blazers, and knit dresses that don't wrinkle.
