While the reflective fabric wasn’t used for anything but workwear until a few decades ago, fashion is changing day by day. Today it’s popular in athletic, sports, and fashion wear and even used for upgrading accessories like hats, backpacks, shoes, and more.

The first-ever fashion statement using reflective fabric was created by Alexander McQueen in 2004 for his Fall Collection that was launched in the Paris Fashion Show. He used patterns and prints made of reflective fabric for men’s and women’s clot  hes from tees to dresses and even shoes. Since then, it’s been a boom.

The reflective fabric boom was adopted by big brands like Nike where they added reflective fabric to the logo. Another brand named LFLECT also brings the reflective fabric to all their apparel from tops, blouses, sweatshirts, head bands, and even yarns.

Today, it’s easy to create even custom-reflective apparel from your home with high-end reflective tapes or sew-on fabrics too.
