Let’s Talk About Natural Fabric Materials - The Best Ones and Why
Whether you consider clothes just a practicality or you are using them for self expression, you should know what you’re wearing. With fashion being one of the top industries, there are a lot of brands that you’ve never heard of, and the materials that go into your clothes are also endless.
Knowing what materials are the best clothes made of will help you choose the more comfortable, sustainable and easy to care for clothes. In this article, we’re talking about the best choices for you, so the next time you go shopping you know what to check the tag for.
Cotton
One of the most beloved and commonly used materials in the fashion industry, cotton is perfect for anything. Its breathability and softness make it a go-to choice for everyday wear, especially in warm seasons. It’s made out of natural fibers so it will allow your skin to breathe, making it comfortable for any busy day or long road trips.
Cotton is also the best material for newborns, which shows you how delicate and soft it is on your skin. Also, cotton is pretty easy to care for and you can wash it regularly without worrying about it losing its shape or color.
Natural Wool
The second material we want to talk about is in theme with the season we’re entering. A true staple of the fall season is the cozy atmosphere that asks for cozy clothes and wool is the best material for those. Not only is wool warm and soft to the touch, but it’s also a sustainable material. It has moisture wicking properties, it’s breathable and it will keep your body temperature at comfortable levels.
Wool knitwear is also highly popular now, with chunky sweaters and cardigans being everywhere, so you get a bit of everything with this purchase.
Silk
When it comes to luxury materials, the first one that pops up into your head is probably silk. Its smooth, shiny texture and natural temperature-regulating properties make it perfect for both summer and winter. However, silk requires delicate care, so if you know you’re not that meticulous, it's best to keep it for special occasions. Also, there are sustainable silk production methods that are constantly developing to ensure that the silkworms are not harmed during the harvesting process.
Linen
Last but not least, a material that will give you the perfect combination of comfort and style: linen. Known for its breathability and moisture-wicking properties, linen is a great choice for warm weather. The slightly wrinkled look of linen adds to its charm and allows you to play around with it and dress it up or down. Linen is also biodegradable, making it an environmentally responsible choice.
