Buying And Caring For Natural Clothing Los Angeles

By Deborah Thomas


A lot of the clothes you will find in the market these days are made from synthetic materials. These include rayon, acetate or nylon, among others. There are also some which include a blend of synthetic and natural fibers. For people who are die-hard fans of organic fabrics, then natural clothing Los Angeles is the way to go.

Normally, when you go shopping, most people pick something that looks good, and fits well. Unless you are shopping for special occasions, or sensitive people, you might not even look at the fabric of what you are buying. The main types of natural fabrics available are cotton, linen, silk, wool, cashmere, hemp and jute. Although some of them might be bit pricy like silk and cashmere, cotton and linen are cheaper, and very easily available.

After you buy clothes made of these organic materials, you need to know how to take care of them so that they can last for long. If you own cotton clothes and you do not wash or dry them properly, they may shrink. You therefore, need to look at the tags carefully. Ideally, you should wash with warm water then tumble dry, or leave them out in the fresh air to dry. With linen, you will need cool water to wash them and when ironing, do it inside out with high heat.

Silk, cashmere, and wool, will need a lot more care. There is the option of getting them dry cleaned, but if it is done wrongly, this could also ruin your clothes. These will need to be hand washed with warm water, and you should ensure they do not stay in the water for long. When drying, first press them with a towel, then let them air dry. When ironing things like silk, you will need to do it on very low heat because it burns easily.

If you had previously been wearing polyester and nylon, it might be hard for you to just start wearing cotton and wool. The best way to add these changes to your lifestyle is by slowly buying items made from organic materials. Start by getting linen trousers and cotton shirts. If you do it slowly, you will not even notice the change.

You should store all your items in an airy drawer. This will prevent them from smelling damp and musty. It is also advisable to hang moth balls in your closet, to keep moths from eating your clothes. Natural oils or leaves from plants like lavender can be strategically placed in your wardrobe. This way when you take out your clothes, they always smell fresh.

Some people may be allergic to certain fabrics and finding clothes they like might be difficult for them. Most people, however, are comfortable wearing items made from cotton and silk. By buying clothes made of organic materials, you are also exposed to fewer chemicals. You will also find that these items if well taken care of can survive for many years.

In case you want to start buying this kind of clothing, there are a number of shops in Los Angeles that sell them. You can ask around among friends who own these garments, or even at the shop where you normally purchase your clothes.
