We introduced the preparation mechanism of biomimetic superhydrophobic surfaces and the development of hydrophobic finishing chemicals. The research process of multi-functional green textile with special wettability in the last 10 years was systematically reviewed. The preparation technologies and applications in double-superhydrophobic, asymmetric superhydrophobic/superhydrophilic janus surface, patterned/ stimulated responsive surface were discussed. The prospective works were emphasised in this review, including self-cleaning, oil/water separation, durable mechanical surfaces, patterning, self-healing, one-way transportation, especially in some emerging fields such as smart response, wearable electronics, energy- harvesting. The summary and outlook of superhydrophobic and multi-funtional textile were also demonstrated at last
