Viscose Clothing for Women

At the heart of every Loulou de Saison summer collection, viscose stands out as a light, fluid fabric ideal for the warmer season. It is distinguished by its softness to the touch and its ability to perfectly hug the body, all while offering excellent breathability. Viscose is lighter and airier than other fibers such as cotton or wool, while maintaining a natural elegance that adds a touch of refinement to every outfit.

Viscose is at the heart of Loulou de Saison’s craftsmanship every summer. Chosen for its lightness and fluid appearance, it allows for the creation of modern, comfortable models suited to higher temperatures wherever you are in the world. The brand’s styles and products are wardrobe essentials with timeless appeal. Fluid dresses, light tops, wide pants, and elegant skirts, viscose takes shape in designs that combine comfort, sophistication, and softness.

Long, light dresses, blouses with flared sleeves, tops with a fluid cut, and airy summer pants come to life thanks to viscose, offering every silhouette a feminine and delicate allure. Soft colors and subtle prints multiply to offer a range of options that suit all summer occasions. Loulou de Saison’s viscose creations are must-haves—elegant and comfortable—for a summer full of lightness and elegance.

What is Viscose Made Of?

Soft and light, viscose is a fabric made from cellulose fibers—derived from beech wood or bamboo, with the pulp being treated. The result is a versatile fabric offering numerous advantages. Often compared to silk, viscose is known for its soft texture, maintaining body temperature, moisture absorption, vibrant colors, and easy care.

With a production process that has less environmental impact compared to materials like polyester, viscose provides a silk-like effect used in both home textiles and fashion. Its features include remarkable softness, temperature regulation, moisture absorption, vibrant colors, and easy maintenance.

Is Viscose an Eco-Responsible Fiber? What Are Its Environmental Benefits?

Viscose can be considered a semi-eco-responsible fiber, but its environmental impact depends on how it is produced. It is made from cellulose found in wood pulp, often sourced from sustainably managed forests. However, it’s important to note that the traditional viscose manufacturing process involves the use of chemicals, which can pose environmental challenges if production practices aren’t responsible.

That being said, technological advancements have led to more eco-friendly alternatives, such as viscose produced through closed-loop processes. In this process, chemicals are recycled and reused, reducing waste and pollution. Additionally, some brands choose to source their viscose from FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified forests, ensuring responsible management of forest resources.

A notable environmental advantage of viscose is that it is biodegradable. Unlike some synthetic fibers, viscose decomposes naturally in the environment, making it less harmful at the end of its life cycle. By choosing garments made from viscose produced according to sustainable standards, you can enjoy its eco-friendly benefits while supporting more responsible fashion.

Why Choose Loulou de Saison for Viscose Clothing?

At Loulou de Saison, every raw material is carefully selected, and cellulose fibers are chosen for their properties before undergoing transformation into high-quality fabric. Always present in our collections, our viscose garments take the form of dresses, shirts, jackets, t-shirts, and other wardrobe staples. From winter to summer, these pieces with a viscose content are in line with the fashion trends of each season.

Used in a lightweight top, viscose has a silky, airy effect that makes it ideal to wear directly against the skin. A versatile material, viscose can also be worn in cardigans, pants, jackets, or fluid coats, either as part of a complete look for a unique style and beauty or mixed with other materials, such as wool, silk, or cotton. The quintessential viscose garment, the jersey t-shirt, offers a more fluid effect than its cotton counterpart. These timeless pieces in viscose offer many benefits for your everyday wardrobe, no matter the item. Dresses, tops, and silk-like fabrics that are eco-friendly due to a chemical-free production process are all without the usual drawbacks.

How to Care for Your Viscose Clothing?

Caring for your viscose products is easy thanks to the properties this material offers. Viscose pieces—also known as artificial silk—don’t have the same drawbacks as natural silk, and their washing can be done in a machine, always at a low temperature to maintain their shape, while carefully following the label and fabric instructions. Made from various fibers like wood or bamboo cellulose, viscose is a delicate fabric that requires a gentle process: no tumble drying, no high temperatures, no harsh chemicals, and using a mild detergent for an optimal experience.

Why Viscose for Summer and Winter?

Lightness and Breathability for Summer

In the summer, viscose is light and airy, allowing air to circulate through the fabric, providing excellent breathability. This helps regulate body temperature and maintain a sense of freshness even in the heat. It absorbs moisture, allowing the skin to breathe and reducing the feeling of warmth.

Comfort and Insulation for Winter

In winter, viscose has a unique ability to retain warmth while staying light. While it’s not as insulating as materials like wool, it acts as a good thermal regulator by trapping a light layer of warm air close to the body, while avoiding any feeling of heaviness. When combined with other warmer fibers, viscose can provide optimal comfort during the colder months.

Moisture Absorption Properties

Viscose is absorbent, meaning it can capture moisture, whether it's sweat in the summer or ambient moisture in the winter, while remaining soft and pleasant against the skin. This makes it suitable for both seasons, where managing moisture plays a key role in comfort.

Versatility in Cuts and Styles

In the summer, viscose allows for light and fluid clothing, perfect for dresses, tops, and skirts. In winter, it can be used in long-sleeved garments, cardigans, or sweaters, often combined with other warmer materials to create an elegant and comfortable silhouette.
