Neoprene isn’t a fabric you would normally see in fashion, let alone consider for everyday wear and was previously used for scuba or surfing. But Givenchy, Calvin Klein and Robert Geller have transformed neoprene texture into a statement piece. Also, high-street brands like Topman and ASOS have switched up neoprene, infusing small neoprene detail on casual tees and sweats to create something all more wearable.
There’s a variety of ways for you to rock the trend, and here comes the science to tell you how. Neoprene is a chemical structure and comes in a range of textures, sizes and colours, with the fabric itself extremely versatile and breathable, meaning you can easily switch up and enthuse neoprene in to any outfit from now to winter.
PAUSE loves the Givenchy neoprene printed sweatshirt. With extra-long length and simplistic star and stripes detail, it can be used in any outfit, layering over a long sleeve shirt or tee, which can be re-purposed for with a tapered trouser and classic slip-on trainer for a more formal look.
Neoprene has the ability to hold shape, and mould to whatever look by layering and tailoring, giving you versatility. But the best kept secret of neoprene is it serves to enhance the monochrome trend this season, with the unique texture and fit of the neoprene fabric turning the block black colour, matched with white detail, into a much stronger look this season.
