Simultaneously, we’re using what we have at hand when putting new garments together, there might be slight variations from one garment to the next as each individual craftsperson cutting and sewing the piece takes a more patchwork approach to make the most of the textiles they have around.
The overall design of the garment has also evolved, most noticeably it is a short sleeve midlayer, a versatile style which, due to changes in climate, has become more and more common.

While there have been no major legislation changes since 2035, the garment industry has been focussing on making the transition to only working with completely recycled yarns. This results in a more muted colour palette. But to ensure that we use all that we have and don’t waste anything the textile industry is also using up the last remaining stock of “virgin material” old stock, this means textiles might have the occasional random colour showing up resulting in a more playful feeling to the overall textile.
Next to that, XR motion capture technology will advance, allowing the mocap artwork to be more subtle with less contrast and “readable” points on the body while still successfully providing for a base for an outfit in the digital world.
Our way of thinking about design has also evolved, designers are constantly working to reduce the amount of different materials that go into a garment to allow for easier recycling once the piece is finally worn down beyond repair. This results in garments which are generally less complex and have been designed to be easier to repair at home, buttons (made from recycled material of course) are way easier to replace at home than a zipper is.
The Smart Textile Passport now also keeps track of every use, and alerts when textile, or garment, needs to be repaired.
