Textile is the fastest-growing application of silk. Silk is an important contributor to the textile industry which is continuously growing and evolving in terms of demand and supply. Silk is used in textiles for its lustrous appearance, luxurious feel, lightweight, resilient, and strength. It is used in many types of apparel such as wedding dresses, gowns, blouses, scarves, neckties as well as in many household products such as pillows, wall hangings, draperies, upholstery.

Further, Silk's absorbency makes it quite comfortable to wear, especially, in warm weather. Its low conductivity keeps warm air close to the skin during cold weather. This increases the uses of silk for clothing such as shirts, ties, formal dresses, high fashion clothes, lingerie, pajamas, robes, dress suits, sun dresses, and kimonos. In India, silk is also used for making sarees, which is traditional outfit in the country.
