We futurists want to free our race from all forms of neutrality, from dreadful and apathetic indecisiveness, from negatory pessimism and nostalgic, idealistic and enfeebling inertia.
We want to paint Italy with boldness and futurist risk, and dress the Italians, at last, in bellicose and joyous apparel.
Futurist clothes shall therefore be:
1. – Aggressive, in such a way to increase the bravery of the mighty and overwhelm the consciousness of the vile.
2. -Capable of enhancing agility and increasing the flexuosity of the body, to favour thrust during a combat, when on the double or on the charge.
3. Dynamic as per patterns and vibrant colours of the fabric (triangles, cones, 
spirals, ellipses and circles) that inspire love for danger, speed and assault, and aversion to stillness and immobility
4. – Comfortable, easy to put on and take off, suitable for aiming the gun, fording rivers and diving into the waters.
5. – Hygienic, that is, cut in such a way to allow proper perspiration during long marches and when climbing tough slopes,
6. – Joyous. Fabrics with enthralling colours and iridescent highlights. Use of muscular colours, deep violet, flame red, deep turquoise, deep green deep yellow, flame orange and vermilion.
7. -Illuminating. Phosphorescent fabric to spark off temerity within an assembly of fearful people, spreading light all around when raining and adjusting the dullness of dusk in the streets and nerves.
