Abstract

Purpose. The purpose of the work is to study the design of coldproof clothing, develop its classification and recommendations for creating a functional and aesthetic design to meet modern consumer requirements. Key aspects of design are analyzed, such as the choice of materials, artistic and compositional elements and adaptation of clothing to the needs of users. Methodology. This study uses methods of analysis of scientific works, methods of comparative and system-structural analysis, interpretation and systematization of the results obtained. Results. An analysis of literary sources was conducted on the development of clothing design for protection from the cold, material characteristics and consumer comfort. A classification of cold-proof clothing design was developed into four main categories: everyday, sports, work and for extreme conditions. For each category, recommendations on materials, structures and style are proposed that provide an optimal level of comfort and safety. Factors influencing the design of clothing for protection from the cold to achieve optimal comfort during use are identified: environmental factors, physiological and psychological comfort of consumers, ensuring functional and aesthetic requirements. Scientific novelty. The work analyzes and systematizes the factors influencing the design of clothing for protection against the cold. The main requirements that such clothing must meet are determined and the importance of using multilayer materials with different characteristics, such as Gore-tex for the outer layer, woolen fleece for insulation and materials with silver ions for hygiene, is noted. Practical relevance. The results of the study have practical application in the development of clothing design for protection against the cold, taking into account the physiological and psychological comfort of users, reducing the weight of clothing, increasing mobility and adaptation to various activities, including sports and work in extreme conditions.
