- Aesthetic comfort
- Visual perception is influenced by color, fabric construction, style, garment fit, fashion compatibility, and finish of clothing material. Aesthetic comfort is necessary for psychological and social comfort.[14][15][16]
- Thermoregulation and thermophysiological comfort
- Thermophysiological comfort is the capacity of the clothing material that maintains the balance of moisture and heat between the body and the environment. It is a property of textile materials that creates ease by maintaining moisture and thermal levels in a human’s resting and active states. The selection of textile material significantly affects the wearer’s comfort. Different textile fibers have unique properties that make them suitable for use in various environments. For example, natural fibers are breathable and absorb moisture, while synthetic fibers are hydrophobic, repel moisture, and do not allow air to pass. Different environments demand a diverse selection of clothing materials. Hence, the appropriate choice is important.[17][18][19][20][21][22][23] The major determinants that influence thermophysiological comfort are permeable construction, heat, and moisture transfer rate.[24]
- Thermal comfort
- One of the primary criteria for our physiological needs is thermal comfort. The heat-dissipation effectiveness of clothing gives the wearer a feeling that is neither very hot nor very cold. The optimum temperature for thermal comfort of the skin surface is between 28 and 30 °C (82 and 86 °F). Thermophysiology reacts whenever the temperature falls below or exceeds the neutral point on either side; it is discomforting below 28 and above 30 degrees.[25] Clothing maintains a thermal balance; it keeps the skin dry and cool. It helps to keep the body from overheating while avoiding heat from the environment.[25][26]
- Moisture comfort
- Moisture comfort is the prevention of a damp sensation. According to Hollies’ research, it feels uncomfortable when more than “50% to 65% of the body is wet.”[quote needs citation]
- Tactile comfort
- Tactile comfort is a resistance to the discomfort related to the friction created by clothing against the body. It is related to the smoothness, roughness, softness, and stiffness of the fabric used in clothing. The degree of tactile discomfort may vary among individuals due to factors such as allergies, tickling, prickling, skin abrasion, coolness, and the fabric’s weight, structure, and thickness. There are specific surface finishes (mechanical and chemical) that can enhance tactile comfort. Fleece sweatshirts and velvet clothing, for example. Soft, clingy, stiff, heavy, light, hard, sticky, scratchy, and prickly are all terms used to describe tactile sensation
- Pressure comfort
- The comfort of the human body’s pressure receptors’ (present in the skin) sensory response towards clothing. Fabric with Lycra feels more comfortable because of this response and superior pressure comfort. The sensation response is influenced by the material’s structure: snugging, looseness, heaviness, lightness, softness, or
