Get UV alerts, stay abreast of important emails and alert friends of your safety.
Smart clothing is the wave of wearables for the future. Connected watches and pendants are great, but the clothing’s ability to fit to the body and perform multiple functions at once is pushing design and technology forward. While it’s still in its infancy, there are many pieces already on the market. In most cases you can’t walk into the local mall and find them, but finding what you want online is easy, and with the holiday season upon us, a smart bra could be the perfect gift for a techie who wants to try something new.
Here are 4 pieces of smart fashion for women:
1) Spinali Design Connected Bikini
These suits ensure you’ll never get a sunburn again. Embedded with waterproof sensors, these suits alert you via an app when it’s time to re-apply sunscreen. The technology measures the intensity of the sun you’re sitting in and calculates when to send you alerts based on your skin type. Choose from a range of about 40 swimsuits to find the perfect match.
