The fabrics you wear every single day matter more than most people realize. Your clothes sit on your skin for hours, hold heat and sweat, and become part of your environment just like the products you use at home.
A lot of modern clothing is made with synthetic fabrics like polyester, nylon, acrylic, and spandex which are basically plastic-based fibers. These materials can trap heat and bacteria, shed microplastics, hold onto odors, and are often treated with chemical finishes during production.
That’s one of the reasons I’ve become more intentional about choosing natural fabrics whenever I can. Materials like cotton, linen, h**p, wool, and silk tend to breathe better, regulate temperature more naturally, and feel noticeably different on the skin.
You definitely don’t need to throw your whole closet away overnight. I always say start with the pieces closest to your body first like underwear, sleepwear, workout clothes, towels, and baby clothing.
Small swaps over time still make a difference!
