Eco Friendly Clothing - Versatile and Stylish Eco Friendly Clothing
What makes clothing eco friendly? For the most part, it is all in the materials used to make them. Clothing made from natural fibers, such as hemp, bamboo, and cotton is considered to be more environmentally friendly than synthetic fabrics. Typically clothes made from natural fibers are some combination, such as 80% bamboo and 20% cotton. This is generally because, besides being more expensive than cotton, hemp and bamboo are not as comfortable in 100% forms of fabric. The cotton softens them up and offers a little stretch. To be truly classified as eco friendly they should be organic, meaning the plants were grown without the use of pesticides.
