Future Smelly Clothes

In the future, we will have smelly clothes...seriously. This clothes actually smell and will change the way we look at fashion. They are specially designed so they emit aromatherapy fragrances. This will be able to help you remember more things. Also, the clothes will be able to enhance alertness and create a calmness. The concept of a wardrobe dubbed "Smart Second Skin" apparel could  transform your daily sensory environment into a tool for fighting Alzheimer’s disease or simply changing moods. Jenny Tillotson, a senior research fellow in Fashion and Textile Design at the University of the Arts, London, detailed how a scent-augmented wardrobe could alter the wearer′s mind for the better. ″Based on the sense of smell embedded this in the clothing, I’m trying to redesign the future through smell,″ Tillotson said. ″Mood-enhancing effects can have an impact of behavior, learning; it’s a hot wire to the brain. You could use scent to train the nerves and brain to help you wake up in the morning, go to sleep at night, keep you alert in the office.″ This invention could change our whole generation. Additionally, these clothes that are scented could help out the elderly so they "stay with it."  This invention is basically like being in a bubble that is filled with a scent. The clothes would have a tube lining inside and then the person who is wearing it would set a timer to set which times the shirt would emit a scent. Personally, I think this invention would be very helpful. Also, it would be great to have whatever scent you wanted following you around all day. It is even better, that it can make you happier and everyone needs that every once in a while.
