Buying And Caring For Natural Clothing Los Angeles

By Deborah Thomas


With the global shift toward things which are renewable and biodegradable, the world of fashion has also started making changes. This can be easily seen with increase of people turning to natural clothing Los Angeles. Natural materials are being used to make almost any garment, be it bags, trousers or sweaters.

Most people buy clothes because they look nice, or they fall within their price range. They might have a few cotton t-shirts, but shy away from wool or silk, because they have been branded expensive and difficult to take care of. There are approximately seven natural fabrics used to make garments. Jute is a bit coarse and is, therefore, used to make mats and carpets.

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 and wool are also very sensitive fabrics. If they are of good quality, your garments might be quite pricy and you do not want to go at a loss, by damaging them. They should both be hand washed with cool water and left out to dry. Using bleach or any strong detergents may also ruin the materials.

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.

Once you choose to invest in garments made from organic fibers and you take good care of them, you will find that you are more comfortable, and happy with the clothes you wear. It is also a healthy choice. Quite a bit of the chemicals used to make the synthetic fibers, are absorbed into the body. You will also notice that your cotton t-shirt is still fine after a few washes, when compared to your nylon shirt.

In case you are interested in buying these garments, you can start looking around for stores which stock them. When buying the garments look at the tags items look, in order to be sure that what you are buying is genuinely made from natural fibers. In case you do not find what you like at a specific store, you can also buy the material yourself and get someone to make the clothes for you.
