Fundamentals Of Environmentally Friendly Clothing

By Minnie Whitley


Our choice of clothes tells volumes about both our mannerisms and determines how comfortable we are. It does not mind the taste of a person in terms of fashion. What matters is that at the end of the day we all embrace environmentally friendly clothing. We need not to buy clothes merely because they fit us or because they are our favorite color. The bottom line is their suitability to the given need.

Weather is also an issue that needs looking at. The weather conditions of your location determine how you ought to adorn yourself. Heavy outfits like coats are not meant to be worn all the time like some people do. Even if you are going to the office on a hot day, it is better to just put on a shirt to avoid the excessive heat produced by a coat. Your comfort should come first before appearance.

Another category comprises of people who are always dressed in light materials. For most ladies, attires that reveal some parts of the body are taken to be trendy. It is thus not a surprise to find a woman in a mini skirt and a sleeveless blouse on an ice cold day. These kinds of sacrifices are not worth making as people need to value the need to stay healthy by choosing to dress in a way that diseases that are caused by bad weather can be kept at bay.

Apart from weather conditions, environmental friendliness of clothes is also determined by the materials used to make them. In this age of technological advancement, there is unlimited possibility of material choices that can replace textile. Nevertheless, these materials are in most cases non-biodegradable leading to massive environmental pollution.

Cloth designers have been using cotton for many years other materials like silk and polyester can also be added in proportions. All these are in an attempt to eradicate environmentally unfriendly substances. Resources are thus preserved. Conservation of resources is done by recycling old garments and using the materials to make new ones.

Stock your wardrobe according to the urgency of usage. Avoid keeping so many things that are not needed. Instead of having excess clothes, it is better to get only the ones you need to avoid pollution. This way, you will help in reducing the amount of clothes that need to be disposed leading to a more organized and useful wardrobe.

When we talk of the environment, this includes the people that we interact with on daily basis. Some people get offended when they see person dressed in a certain way. Contrastingly, most people are of the view that they can put on anything they want, since it is free. Church wear for instance needs to be decent as opposed to the outfit you go the garden in.

Consequentially, the way you appear before people forms a basis for how they judge you. Grooming should be taken both as an art and as a science. As an art; it takes care of the aesthetic value of our surrounding and as a science; it ensures that we consider the safety of our surrounding as we make our clothing choices.
