What are you wearing?
It’s not just about style. It’s about what touches your skin, how it’s made, and the impact it leaves behind.
We often think about color, fit, and trend, but rarely about the fabric itself. Yet the choice between natural and synthetic fibers affects not just the look, but your health, the planet, and the people behind each garment.
Natural fabrics
Cotton, linen, hemp, silk, wool - from nature, for people. They’re breathable, biodegradable, and crafted with tradition and care.
Synthetic fabrics
Polyester, nylon, acrylic, spandex, lycra - oil-based, plastic-like, designed for speed. They’re cheap, but they shed microplastics, trap heat, and harm the planet.
Why does it matter?
What touches your skin matters - for your comfort, your health, and the planet.
1. Skin irritation and allergies
Scientific studies show that synthetic fabrics can trigger or worsen conditions like eczema and dermatitis. Chemicals like formaldehyde, dyes, and heavy metals can stay in the fabric and cause rashes, itching, and allergic reactions.
2. Microplastic pollution
With every wash, synthetic clothes release hundreds of thousands of microfibers into waterways. These microplastics enter oceans, wildlife, and even human bodies. Natural fabrics biodegrade. Synthetics don't.
3. Hormonal and reproductive risks
Synthetic textiles often contain PFAS ("forever chemicals") linked to hormonal disruption, fertility problems, immune issues, and even cancer. These chemicals are absorbed through the skin and can impact health over time, especially with daily wear.
What can you do?
* Choose natural, breathable fabrics like organic cotton, linen, hemp, silk, and wool.
* Wash new clothes before wearing to remove residual chemicals.
* Look for certifications like OEKO-TEX or Bluesign to reduce chemical exposure.
