piqué
Dimpled cotton fabric
Piqué is a fabric woven with a raised, textured pattern—typically small geometric shapes like diamonds or honeycombs.
The weave creates a slightly stiff, durable cloth used for polo shirts, dress shirts, and formal waistcoats: a classic white piqué bib on a tuxedo shirt.
The texture adds visual interest while remaining crisp and breathable.
