INVISTA, an owner of the Lycra fibre brand and one of the largest integrated producers of fibres and polymers, is introducing Lycra Made to Fit You technology. This new garment construction is designed to deliver the optimal range of force and compression, which enables knee-highs to stay up without digging into the skin. “Best of all, trouser socks made with this technology provide better all-around comfort – regardless of foot and leg size – thanks to Lycra fibre,” the company explains.
In a study conducted in December 2016, 100 women from the US, Europe and China wear-tested concept garments made with Lycra Made to Fit You technology. Women of all sizes who wore the knee-highs rated them favourably for enhanced comfort, staying in place without digging in, and for not causing unsightly red marks on the calves, the company reports. The construction is designed to deliver the optimal range of force and compression, making knee-highs to stay up without digging into the skin.
In fact, 90 per cent of participants preferred the Lycra Made to Fit You concept over current offerings in the marketplace. In addition, 65 per cent of non-knee-high wearers in the study were converted into future wearers, according to the manufacturer.
