MOMMA LOVES… scuba – (aka neoprene) the techno fabric

I am obsessed with this J Brand scuba top – it makes a statement but it’s so easy to wear.

Max gearing up for Valentines Day…. He’s got my heart, that’s for sure.

Neoprene, or scuba fabric has been around for a couple of seasons and this super cool techno fabric shows now signed of going anywhere.  It’s essentially the fabric you think about divers wearing – water resistant and, depending on the thickness of the texture, able to take on some more interesting shapes while still being figure flattering.   This scuba trend isn’t just for divers any more, that’s for sure as we see it at every price range and for everything from outerwear to boustiers – this techno fabric is an absolute must have.  It can be super feminine showing off your favorite curves or be more boxy and masculine for a cool silhouette.  Besides being pretty water resistant the added bonus of this techno fabric is it’s not particularly expensive so there are lots of great options that won’t break the bank.  I am loving on scuba right now, so check out my favorite ways designers have reinvented neoprene.
