Neoprene, Or Scuba Fashion, Is Trending Right Now — So Here Are 15 Items To Make You Fall In Love.
Neoprene is a synthetic rubber that's often used to make wetsuits, hence its alternative name "scuba."
Neoprene has become increasing popular as a material to wear on the street (not just in the sea). The weight of neoprene also means form-fitting skirts and dresses are more forgiving. You'll never run the risk that your bodycon skirt or tight leggings are accidentally a little bit see-through. The material is always opaque, and its resiliency means it doesn't really stretch out. Neoprene also holds photorealistic patterns well, so it's not uncommon to see huge florals or intricate pattens splattered all over a dress or a sweatshirt. Did I also mention it's incredibly comfortable?
If all these benefits of neoprene aren't enough to convince you to buy all scuba everything, here are 15 pieces of clothing — from a jumpsuit to knee-high boots — that should do the trick.
The Psychedelic Dress
The pairing of this photorealistic, psychedelic pattern on a relatively conservatively cut collared dress is eye-catching, making the fabric almost an afterthought. But surprise — it’s neoprene.
The Pencil Skirt
Form-fitting and floral, this neoprene bodycon skirt will still provide full coverage.
The LBD
The little black dress can also benefit from the scuba treatment. The darts on this dress, combined with the unique fabric, add structure to an otherwise simple shift.
The Swimsuit
You can’t have a slideshow of neoprene clothing without featuring at least one swimsuit, and this bikini from Australian brand Triangle is scuba fabric at its best.
The Booties
These boots are straight out ofZenon: Girl Of The 21st Century, but the fact that neoprene is water-resistant makes this futuristic footwear actually practical.
The Skater Dress
Because neoprene is thick, it can hold pleats that would collapse with any other fabric, as demonstrated by this gravity-defying H&M dress.
The Jumpsuit
If you’re ready to take the next step and go all in on neoprene, this sleek floral jumpsuit is for you. (Matching mules are optional.)
The Flared Skirt
Using an unconventional fabric doesn’t mean the cut and color have to be unconventional, too, as proven by this flared skirt from Lauren Ralph Lauren in a muted navy.
The Bodycon
You can go full-on glam with this bodycon and boldly printed tank dress, while never worrying about accidentally showing too much.
The Blazer
This loosely structured blazer also comes in black and navy for a slightly more traditional look that still has an edge.
