Viscose – a material that has enjoyed popularity in the fashion world for years, yet it also raises many questions. Is it natural or synthetic? What are its properties, and is it really worth choosing? Viscose garments can be found in the wardrobes of women who value comfort, softness, and elegance. In this article, we'll take a closer look at what viscose is, its advantages and disadvantages, and why Oh!Zuza offers so many unique designs made from this fabric.
What is viscose and how is it made?
Viscose is one of the most versatile materials used in contemporary fashion. Although it's often confused with synthetic fabrics, it's actually a natural material —made from wood cellulose, most often beech or pine. However, the production process involves chemical steps, which is why it's classified as a semi-synthetic fiber.
Its history dates back to the late 19th century, when viscose was an alternative to silk—hence its nickname "artificial silk." To this day, it is valued for its subtle sheen, lightness, and comfort. The structure of the viscose fiber makes the fabric breathable , soft, and drapes beautifully.
It is worth noting that viscose absorbs dyes very well, which is why products made from it are distinguished by saturated, deep colors and an elegant finish.
Advantages of viscose clothes
Viscose clothing is an excellent choice for those seeking a combination of comfort, elegance, and functionality. This material has earned the respect of designers and wearers for good reason – its properties translate into a unique wearing experience.
The most important advantages of viscose:
- Breathability – viscose fibers allow the skin to breathe freely, which makes the material perfect for both summer and winter.
- Gentleness – the fabric is soft and pleasant to the touch, does not irritate the skin and is perfect even for people with sensitive skin.
- Natural look – viscose drapes beautifully, subtly shimmers and gives clothes lightness and feminine charm.
- Hygroscopicity – absorbs moisture well, which increases comfort of use, especially on warmer days.
- Versatility – it is perfect for producing various types of clothing: from dresses, through women's viscose nightgowns , to elegant pajamas and light bathrobes.
By choosing clothes made of viscose, you gain a combination of naturalness and aesthetics that is difficult to find in purely synthetic materials.
Does viscose have any disadvantages?
While viscose has many advantages, it's also worth being aware of its limitations. Like any material, it's not perfect, but with proper care, its flaws can be easily minimized.
What is worth paying attention to:
- Shrinkage – Viscose can shrink when washed at too high a temperature, so it's best to use a delicate cycle and avoid tumble drying. However, it shrinks much less than cotton.
- Creases – Viscose clothes can crease, requiring more frequent ironing, preferably at low temperature and inside out.
- Absorbency – the material quickly absorbs water, making wet viscose more susceptible to damage and deformation.
It's worth remembering, however, that these characteristics don't compromise the quality of viscose clothing. On the contrary, with proper care, they retain their beautiful appearance and properties for a long time. That's why at Oh!Zuza, our women's lingerie store, we focus on high-quality viscose , which is distinguished by its durability and comfort.
Why is it worth wearing viscose at night?
Sleep is a time when our bodies should rest in maximum comfort. That's why choosing the right nightwear is so important – and viscose is perfect for this. Thanks to its lightness, softness, and breathability , it allows the skin to function freely during sleep without causing overheating or irritation.
Viscose nightwear, like the Stars short cami nightgown or the Bliss viscose satin pajamas , combines comfort and aesthetics. Their soft feel on the skin makes your evening ritual more enjoyable and your mornings start in a better mood.
There's a reason why viscose pajamas are perfect for any season – why they're perfect for any season is a recurring theme – this material truly works regardless of the season. It's cool in the summer and cozy in the winter. It's the perfect solution for women who value quality, style, and comfort, even in the comfort of their own home.
How to care for viscose clothes?
Although viscose isn't one of the most demanding fabrics, it does require some attention to care to maintain its properties and appearance. Above all, it's worth remembering that this material doesn't like high temperatures – both when washing and ironing.
It's best to wash viscose garments on a delicates cycle at a maximum temperature of 30°C, avoiding high spin speeds. It's best to iron inside out, using the lowest setting possible. Tumble drying is not recommended as it can cause shrinkage.
By following these few simple rules, your favorite women's viscose pajamas or women's viscose bathrobes will remain in great condition for a long time - soft, elegant and ready to wear every night.
