Denim is known for its stylish and timeless appeal and it has endured as a fashion staple for good reason but its lack of elasticity and thick, heavy material can be considered drawbacks, limiting comfort and flexibility for wearers—and HalaraMagic was created to address the pain points of traditional denim. HalaraMagic Denim fabric is a breathable, comfortable and durable release from athleisure brand Halara. This fabric technology accentuates the natural curves of the body and provides a "second skin" feel.
Jackie Smith, Head of Operations at Halara, says "Our new HalaraMagic Jean series is an evolution of the concept of traditional denim consisting of stretch, softness, and breathability for a more versatile denim experience." HalaraMagic has the ability to conduct heat away from the skin, and the fabric gets its unique properties from a blend of cotton, nylon and elastane.
