Clothes Are More than What We Wear

Clothes Are More than What We Wear

Today’s fashion is experiencing a strong desire for all-day comfort and functionality that springs from a new focus that people have for their emotional and physical wellbeing. This new athleisure trend has provoked an array of clothing styles, fabrics, colours and print which give unprecedented “stretch” to fabrics. But why do we demand more and more clothes that bring together comfort and style, heavily drawing on inspiration from active-wear?

To better understand the relationship between the wearer and their clothes, Ariel has embarked on a series of studies with leading Cognitive Psychologist, Dr Lawrence Rosenblum of the University of California Riverside to delve deeper into the phenomenon of “Enclothed Cognition”. This term describes the subconscious effects of our clothes on the way we perceive ourselves, the way we think, our moods and behaviour.

 

Existing research shows that people perform better when they are wearing clothes that are associated with the important aspects of the task they are performing. In addition, early experiments suggest that the cognitive performance is improved when wearing clean, comfortable clothing. So, clean and comfortable clothes really matter when it comes to well-being and performance. We are what we wear.

Because clothes play such an important role, keeping clothes clean and looking like new for longer is critical and this demands products that not just remove stains but also help maintain the look and feel of fabrics. Helping them retain their features wash after wash, wear after wear.
That’s why [New*] Ariel goes beyond just stain removal to truly care for your clothes by helping to maintain their style, comfort and performance. Because clothes today are no longer one-dimensional fabrics. Modern wardrobes, like modern lifestyles, are increasingly dynamic.
