Living things have developed very specific structures and behaviours that will resist or adapt to extreme environmental impacts for millions of years. For this reason, human beings have tried to understand and solve the mysteries of nature through the ages. Advanced systems in nature set an example for humanity in terms of efficiency, innovation and sustainability. While efficiency and sustainability are more related to production and application, innovation is about materials that provide new advanced, functional properties and/or increase performance. Today, the work of developing new products or making designs by imitating the systems and materials in nature is called biomimetic. Biomimetic can be applied in different fields of design, art, architecture, engineering and basic sciences. Since ancient times, nature has also been a source of inspiration for textile and clothing applications. Although the interest of those working in the fields of engineering and basic sciences is more intense, biomimetic offers valuable opportunities to textile and fashion designers. Especially in recent years, it is seen that designers are more interested in biomimetic and they have created original designs. There are many research works and applications in the literature regarding biomimetic applications in textile. In this study, firstly, biomimetic based research and products for textile and clothing sectors are examined and the most common application areas are determined. The applications are divided into six basic sub-areas by examining their basic features. These are hydrophobic, low friction resistance, structural coloured photonic, super adhesive, UV protective and thermal insulating materials. Only products that have been identified in the literature and practice and fall within the scope of these areas have been examined. The main engineering approaches of the examined products are mentioned and tried to be exemplified to guide the designers.
