What’s in your closet?

You can find LYCRA® fiber in virtually every garment category—from underwear to outerwear and everything in between. The lasting comfort, fit and shape LYCRA® fiber adds to clothes are legendary, and it has been setting high standards for quality and performance since its invention in 1958.

While LYCRA® fiber is a spandex (elastane) yarn, it’s important to know that not all spandex is created equal. Be sure to look for the LYCRA® brand name and our iconic wave logo wherever you shop.
