What is Techwear?

Techwear is a functional clothing style. Its functionality is mainly reflected in the application of high-tech windproof and waterproof fabrics, multi-pocket storage space and the use of quick zipper release, and other practical functions. At the same time, it can also provide more convenience for people's daily commute.

Techwear does have practical significance in life. As we commute/study in big cities, we do not need professional outdoor equipment. This kind of clothes with fashionable design, tailoring, and mild outdoor attributes is more suitable for us.

For example, an SUV model is between the hardcore off-road and the sedan. They are more responsible for our commuting in the city and can provide some additional protection when needed.

The development of anything must be combined with people's real needs. Behind the popularity of functional wind, it meets the needs of people in the city for convenience and aesthetics. This is not something that Darkwear, like hanging streamers on clothes, can solve.

True Techwear must be functional and good-looking clothes.
