She added that the functionality of the piece also affects how it looks. “A lot of meshes are very popular because they’re lightweight and they’re breathable, and they can be added as insets for garment appeal,” said Lopez. “But also, if they’re added to high-perspiration zones, it gives a body-mapping kind of functionality to the garment.” Body mapping is a technique where heat and moisture trapped by the garment is managed by mesh, either as blocked insets on their sides, under the arms or along the contours of the chest, hence why athletic apparel often has color-blocked patterns in those areas. Body mapping can also be engineered into the fabric as a whole, so some garments can possess the feature without the tell-tale blocks.
