Polyester, is a synthetic fiber, which first started being used in clothing in the mid-20th century. Its use in textiles can be traced back to the early 20th century, but it wasn't really until the 1940s and 1950s that polyester fabrics first began to be commercially produced and used in clothing on a large scale. The post-World War II era saw a surge in the popularity of synthetic fibers like polyester due to their affordability, durability, and versatility.
