It’s hard to say how poplin got into urban slang, where it means something mediocre and shoddy in execution. Poplin is actually a type of fabric that was invented over 500 years ago. As you can guess, then durability and functionality were the most important, but for the mighty of that world, also a truly royal style. Where does that name come from? As it turns out, from the word “pope”, meaning pope, because it was initially used to create papal vestments. We are wearing it this summer too.
What does poplin look like? This fabric is ideal for high temperatures
Poplin is characterized by a very clear linen weave, and was made of wool as well as silk and cotton. Cotton has made the greatest sensation and it is this type that is currently the most desirable, and dominates in stores. Poplin is extremely durable and comfortable to wear. Light, airy and absorbing moisture, it allows you to perfectly endure high temperatures.
Its clear weave looks very stylish, so you should include a poplin shirt in your wardrobe, for example. A dress made of this material looks especially impressive. They will be an absolute hit this season. This is one of the few examples where it has great functionality.
