Time has passed and 2020 has come to an end. Before welcoming new fashion trends, let us first review the most popular item of trousers in 2020 – wide-leg pants.
Wide-leg pants with their own fashionable label can be worn all year round. They are a “weapon” for making you look slimmer and taller. They are also one of the most popular items in recent years and are deeply loved by women. In recent years, wide-leg pants have undergone new changes in material and design, especially in autumn and winter, when thick materials are needed to withstand cold weather.
In previous years, the materials of wide-leg pants in autumn and winter were mainly denim, knitted, woolen, and corduroy. Recently, reporters discovered that “chenille wide-leg pants” are frequently recommended by e-commerce shopping platforms. The shape in the picture is very similar to corduroy. What kind of fabric is this? In order to find the answer, the reporter decided to go to the Textile City Market to consult professionals.
Entering the Textile City In the East Market, the reporter saw several stores with chenille fabrics hanging on them. Many of them made chenille into wide-leg pants and hung them at the door for retail. “Chenille was first used in sofa fabrics, and its fluffy feel has been recognized by the market. In the past two years, it has also been used in clothing. We are the first company on the market to make thick knitted chenille.” Zeng Qixiang, the person in charge of Yi Textile, said that chenille suede, which is soft to the touch and thick, has good wind resistance and warmth retention properties, and it is not like corduroy fabric that tends to turn your knees white after being worn for a long time. Currently, the company has developed pit stripes , checkered, twill, bark wrinkle and other more than ten patterns.
Chenille yarn, also known as chenille, is a new type of fancy yarn. It is spun by using two strands as the core yarn and twisting the feather yarn in the middle. It is widely used in the field of home textiles and is often used to make sofa covers, bedspreads, bed blankets, table blankets, carpets and other products. In order to increase the elasticity and comfort of chenille fabric, a certain proportion of spandex is added during production.
The reporter learned that the woven “Starry Sky Chenille” independently developed by Tongyi Textile is very popular, with a price of 32 yuan/meter. In addition to the different looms, the sales methods are also different. Knitted chenille is sold by kilograms, while woven chenille is sold by meters. “This is our exclusive product! It used to be knitted and easy to shed lint. After many adjustments and improvements, it was successfully developed at the end of 2019. The use of chenille on tatting machines is also a new breakthrough.” Zeng Qixiang said that joining Jin The silk chenille was created to look like a starry sky. A Hangzhou customer took tens of thousands of meters of “starry sky chenille” to make wide-leg pants and carrot pants. “We also like to wear them ourselves, especially the ones with this style that keep you warm and look slimming.” Only then did the reporter discover that the two women in the store were wearing chenille wide-leg pants that were hanging outside the sales department.
Finding fabrics is a “purgatory” for designers. From home textiles to clothing, chenille is endowed with infinite possibilities. “I learned that several brands used chenille fabric last year, not only to make wide-leg pants, but also to try to develop sweaters and coats.” Designer Hou Yueyue said.
