Futuristic technology is no more limited to films; it is now a reality. Technology is being used at every bend of the way to make apparel trendy, suited for the future, and well-connected to other gadgets. Clothing is a vital aspect of every wardrobe, so fabrics that enhance a wearer’s experience through technology are a boon. It is swiftly revolutionising the way in which we relate to apparel.

Gone are the days when the fabric was only about designs and patterns; today it has more to do with the extra bit it brings along. As we have just stepped into a new year, here are some apparel technology trends that we can look back to—those that caused many a ripple in the past.

YOGA WEAR THAT CORRECTS YOUR POSTURE

Adapting the right posture is key to a good yoga session. However, holding on to that position for too long without any assistance can be tricky. That’s where Nadi X Smart Yoga Pants plan to perfect your postures, making your yoga time blissful. The fitness gear by this brand has built-in haptic feedback or vibrations. The pants have accelerometers and vibrating motors woven into the fabric, around the hips, knees, and ankles, which vibrate to give you instructions on how to move.

Along with clothing, you can use the Nadi X mobile application. The app further breaks down your yoga poses step by step, with correspondence to vibrations received directly from the pants. The app collects and analyses data from your workout session to summarise your goals, performance, and progression.
