Did you know the quality of your pants, dress, and scarfs comes down to the fabric composition? Not all garments are created equal, just because they cost more or less the same, the quality of your garment boils down to the fabric composition.
For example, A pair of jeans with a 100% cotton composition, that costs $70 is a better choice for you than one that contains
50% lycra and 50% cotton at the same price.
Lycra is synthetic fabric, and even though it does feel comfortable initially, years down the line it will go out of shape due to the lycra contents.
Not mentioning lycra and the likes are made of petrochemicals that will leech into your body, so your best option is for you to always opt for natural fabrics like cotton, linen and wool.
Read your labels, folks!
