Research on technological classifications and application areas of smart wearable clothing

Abstract

This study systematically reviews recent literature to categorize the technological classifications and application domains of smart wearable clothing, highlighting its diverse applications in health monitoring, sports assistance, protection, fashion, and rehabilitation. From a design perspective, smart wearable clothing is evolving from a "function-augmentation" model to an "experience- immersion" paradigm. Designers must seamlessly integrate technological modules into the language of fashion through synergistic innovations in technology concealment, naturalized interaction, and aesthetic contextualization, ultimately fostering a seamless symbiosis between humans, clothing, and the environment.
