Why Cotton Deserves a Spot in Your Closet (and How It Gets There)

Cotton’s a classic for a reason! This humble fabric is like the best friend of your wardrobe—always comfortable, reliable, and ready to keep you feeling good. So, why is cotton worth wearing, and how does it go from field to fabric? Let’s take a quick look!

Why We Love Wearing Cotton

  1. It’s Like a Breath of Fresh Air
    Cotton’s natural breathability lets air flow freely, keeping you cool on hot days and comfy during all-day wear. Say goodbye to stuffy fabrics and hello to a light, fresh feel!

  2. Soft as a Cloud
    Cotton is super soft and gentle on your skin, making it perfect for those everyday basics. T-shirts, socks, and everything in between—it’s your skin’s best friend!

  3. Tough Enough to Last
    Cotton’s pretty sturdy, meaning your favorite pieces can handle plenty of washes and wears without losing their charm. Just wash, wear, and repeat—cotton’s in it for the long haul.

  4. Mother Nature Approved
    When it’s organic or sustainably grown, cotton’s got eco-friendly vibes. Being biodegradable and renewable, it’s a fiber that’s kind to the planet, too. Feel-good fashion? Check!

So, How’s Cotton Made?

Cotton starts as a fluffy little ball, or "boll," on a cotton plant. Once it’s ready, the cotton is picked (often by machines) and then cleaned up to remove seeds and any plant bits. From there, the fibers get combed, spun into yarn, and woven into fabric—ready to become your next go-to piece!

By choosing cotton, especially organic or sustainably grown options, you’re keeping it comfy, natural, and planet-friendly. So next time you’re shopping, look out for that label and give your wardrobe a little cotton love!
