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.

When you buy the clothes, as long as you know how to properly clean them you will be fine. If you own cottons and linens, you will notice they are cleaned almost the same way. Use hot or warm water to wash them, and then tumble dry or let them air dry. Unless the cotton is preshrunk, it might shrink on cleaning. With linen you will need to let it dry completely, then press it while inside out.

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.

How you store your clothes also matters a lot. If you just pick them and throw them all in together. This can be disastrous. If some are not completely dry, they might start to develop mildew and your clothes will smell damp. You can lightly spray the wardrobe or put something with a nice scent at one corner, to keep the storage space smelling 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.

You might find these clothes at the local boutique where you shop, or you can locate a shop that strictly handles the sale of these clothes. Check online to identify stores like these, or even by asking around from people you know, who own a number of garments made from organic fibers.
