First of all, what are natural fibers?

Natural fibre clothing is made from fibres that come straight from plants or animals. Think cotton, silk, linen, and wool. Synthetic fabrics, on the other hand, are man-made through a chemical process called polymerisation, basically, the same way plastic is made. Most synthetic fabrics like polyester, rayon, and nylon? Yep, they’re just plastic.

Now, the benefits of wearing natural fibers

🫧 Soft on your skin Personally for me the most important benefit. Natural fabrics let your skin breathe, keeping you fresh in the summer and warm in the winter. No more sticky, uncomfortable feelings like with plastic fabrics. Think about it, women are advised to wear cotton briefs and thongs to keep our PH in balance. Then why are brands promoting 100% plastic fiber shirts that have direct contact with our skin?

I love this set as a pyama in the fall. It keeps me warm, but not too warm because of the shorts. I feel cute and sexy in it. It is honestly so comfortable. I highly recommend checking out Organic Basics.

🌱 Gentle on the planet Unlike synthetics, which release microplastics into the water with every wash, natural fibers break down naturally. Less waste, less pollution, and a softer impact on the earth.

🧺 Timeless and elegant Cotton, silk, and wool don’t just feel luxurious, they age beautifully. While synthetics lose shape and pill over time, natural fabrics stay strong keep their shape.

🫖 No harsh chemicals Many synthetic fabrics are treated with chemicals that can irritate your skin. Natural fibers, especially organic ones, are free from that, giving you pure, soft comfort.

🪴 Made to last Quality natural fabrics stay with you for years, making every piece a lasting part of your wardrobe instead of a quick replacement.
