Every hour of the day 450 baby boomers turn 50. Baby boomers are a group of affluent adults who are active and have definite opinions about what they buy to wear. What do they look for in clothes? They want to look youthful and sophisticated; they want to be casual with a style of class.

In fashion knits, the versatility of acetate yarn allows unique blending with spandex giving a combination the baby boomers love. Cellulose acetate gives a distinctive silky feel that goes hand in hand with comfort, elegant drape and breathability. Acetate opens the door for fashion designer to design clothes with comfort and elegance. Designs are limited only to the imagination.

Fashion retail stores need to be aware of the needs and wants of this group. By the year 2010 today's baby boomers will be the largest demographic group. In order for apparel stores to be successful they need to realize what this group wants to wear – clothes made with a blend of acetate and spandex.
