Abstract: Smart clothing, a transformative innovation, has applications in various sectors including sports, military, fashion, and medical monitoring, where intelligent fabric selection and adaptive control systems are crucial for optimal performance. However, existing approaches face significant challenges in handling uncertainty, personalizing user experiences, and optimizing design parameters under conflicting requirements. This paper introduces the integration of soft set and fuzzy set theory to address these complexities in smart clothing development. A soft set-based algorithm is proposed for systematic fabric selection that evaluates material options using weighted parameters. An adaptive fuzzy logic algorithm for real-time environmental control that personalizes responses based on user demographics and climate zones is developed. Further, a dynamic weight optimization algorithm that determines optimal parameter priorities is proposed. Through comprehensive case studies, we demonstrate the practical applicability of our approach. Sensitivity analysis is performed to explore the impact of parameter weighting, comparing equal and prioritized weight scenarios to reveal critical factors influencing efficacy. Comparative analysis with traditional multi-criteria decision-making methods shows that our integrated approach achieves better uncertainty handling and adaptability while maintaining computational efficiency. Statistical validation and testing underscore the effectiveness of the proposed methodologies.
