Clothing comfort: a fundamental requirement

Clothing comfort is required in all situations and is considered a threshold in choosing the clothing. Hohenstein Institute Germany buckled the clothing comfort science with a Greek philosopher Empedocles, 500 BC, who first time put forward his beliefs that human skin is breathing. Empedocles suggested that clothing should not depress the respiration and at the same time should not allow penetrating toxic elements into the body. At that time dress made by linen and silk was a dress of upper class and was considered as a precious fabric. It shows that clothing comfort never remained out of preference of human beings. Nevertheless, clothing comfort became part of study in early 20^th century when synthetic fibres were developed and more clothing that is functional were required.
