What Natural Clothing Does To You

By John Reed


You are what you wear. Says a statement that comes off as too cliche, really. Then again, it makes sense. What you put on, would define how you appear to everyone. Clothes have a way to identify you with, among or far from the rest. Either way, people would be able to tell, or have an idea about what kind of person you could be, by looking at what you wear.

It gets disappointing and often frustrating too. When it comes to campaigning for something more sustainable, their lips tend to be tight. Sure, they can tell the difference between natural clothing Los Angeles and traditional trendy ones. But in the case where you have to tell what those differences are, not much is given.

So much so that the rest are misinformed, thinking that they are mostly unflattering off white pieces which you would not wish to be caught dead in. True, the ones you see in stores and their world class branding would want any consumer to own the high street, high fashion ones. Never realizing that they not only hurt the budget when added up, but impractical too.

To name a few, you can have cotton, jute, hemp, silk and wool. You will not be short on choices, w hen it comes to selection. Cotton, would arguably be the most popular. Especially among mothers and their babies. This is because cotton does not need pesticides when grown. It can shy away from synthetic chemical fertilizers that are usually modern fabrics cannot exist without.

The kind of clothes you like wearing affects your health, mentally and physically, as well as your whole well being. Most people will not think about that anymore, unaware how important it is, to be concerned about what they put on. Consider how your body reacts when you try on something organic.

Hemp also has a lot of amazing properties. These days, you can find the material in many quality garments. Among the number of crops in agriculture, this is probably the most environmental friendly, improving the soil as it grows. It is low maintenance, requiring no herbicides and is resistant to pests and other insects.

Another one would have to be silk. It is your natural protein fiber, made out of cocoons that larvae of silkworms religiously weave, if that is how you call it. The triangular prism like structure of the fiber is responsible for their valuable appearance. This then, allows silk to reflect light and catch it from many different angles.

On the other hand, synthetic ones tend to be the opposite, with low water absorption and poor breathable ability. Thus it is really less comfortable when you come to think about it. Because of this, the skin has a good chance of giving you allergic reactions and invites bacteria. It can also cause complications in the skin like acne, in worst cases.

People lack awareness about the environment and how a simple choice of clothes can affect them. That is understandable, because you cannot expect people to buy into the idea without really knowing the difference. Thus, it is essential that you, as a consumer should start patronizing organic type of material in clothes, to change the way the industry see it.
