Natural Living 4: Clothes - Natural fibers are best

[Rawcstacy]

This and the next thread coming deal with clothing. Here the question is: do you wear ONLY natural fiber clothing? Cotton, linen, silk, wool, etc. Not polyester, acrylics, rayon(sometimes these get labeled as silk, careful), etc. I don't wear ANY synthetics, except for certain gloves/running shoes on rare occasions (Ok, I'm 95%), how about you? It has also been shown that synthetics alter the energy field around the body.

I would love to, but have many great reasons why I don't. Mainly the quality of clothing isn't as good, doesn't lasts as long, doesn't look as attractive, wrinkles too easily, etc. I save tons of money and time by not going this route. I don't own an iron anymore & refuse to since I prefer to own as little as possible. So that rules out clothing that wrinkles. The good quality of clothing allows it to last for very long time. I keep searching the natural clothing lines that keep cropping up & usually I'm not very impressed. They're usually quite unattractive and expensive. Definitely the latter if they look decent. It's all not worth it. Since all I wear is sneakers, which must last for 6-12 mo. minimum, leather is all that I've found that will & fit well. I enjoy clothing to be creatively expressive or just for fun & to look attractive (for me).

I would *love* to wear only natural fabrics - but at 6'1" and size 11 shoes - - I basically buy whatever FITS me! It's not easy - I can't imagine what it would be like if I narrowed the playing field... *Ü*
