Fabrics vary by fiber type, texture, weight, and purpose. The most common categories are:

Natural Fabrics:

• Cotton – breathable, ideal for casual wear.
  
• Linen – strong, cool; perfect for summer outfits.
  
• Wool – warm, elastic, used for suits and winter wear.
  
• Silk – luxurious and delicate; perfect for formalwear.
  

Synthetic Fabrics:

• Polyester – wrinkle-resistant, budget-friendly.
  
• Nylon – durable, good for activewear.
  
• Rayon/Viscose – mimic natural fabrics but are man-made.
  

Each fabric drapes differently, so understanding how they behave is essential before designing garments.
