Can a sweater made of synthetic materials keep you warm?

Yes, but only if the fabric contains natural fibers such as wool, explained stylist Marina LOPUT.

 

Labels often contain information about the presence of synthetic fibers – polyester, acrylic, elastane, nylon, polyamide, and polyester. These materials do not lose their shape when washed, retain their structure well, are affordable, and wrinkle less.

However, they also have disadvantages: they do not provide good ventilation, poorly wick moisture, can cause allergic reactions, and do not keep you warm in cold weather. Therefore, manufacturers usually combine synthetic and natural fibers to create blended fabrics.

When choosing clothing, it is also important to pay attention to the density of the knit. The higher it is, the better the sweater or jumper will retain heat.
