While your little one deserves only the best, mums can often forget that they do as well! Comfort is always a huge priority when it comes to clothing choices, especially for busy mums, but sustainable fashion is becoming a priority for parents as well.
After all, we want a clean world for our children to grow up in! We recently did a guide on comfortable everyday style, and have made this follow up to cover clothes that are both comfy and sustainable.
So read on to see our numerous suggestions to help you bridge the gap between comfort and eco-friendliness.
Women’s Boyshort Underwear
Finding breathable and well-shaped underwear can be a challenge, but the Bawbags women’s boyshort underwear range will certainly give you the comfort you deserve. Included in this range are cool de sac options, which are designed with special quick-drying technology. These underwear options are great for the gym, running or just relaxing in front of the TV. But they’re also environmentally friendly. The cool de sacs are made from recycled plastic bottles, and all Bawbags products are shipped in plastic-free, recycled cardboard packaging.Elevate your drawer with stylish patterns, say goodbye to the days of uncomfortable underwear and help the planet all in one go.
Organic Cotton T-Shirts
Organic cotton fibres are soft because they aren’t grown with harsh chemicals, which makes them gentle on the skin, beneficial for anyone, but especially those with sensitive skin. As a t-shirt makes direct contact with your skin, it, like underwear, is another item of clothing where comfort is key. Cotton is a naturally breathable material and keeps you cool in warm weather.Organic cotton is also a very sustainable choice, using no pesticides and synthetic fertilisers, which pollute water and soil. Organic farming tends to use water more efficiently than conventional cotton, another key aspect of why it's a much greener alternative to the standard option.
That is where the green benefits begin, but not where they end. It can be harvested without replanting, doesn’t require much water to grow, and is naturally resistant to pests, so it doesn’t typically need chemical pesticides or fertilisers. It also has an extensive root system, which prevents soil erosion and helps with soil health.
On the sustainable side of things, recycled polyester is made from recycled plastic bottles and fabric scraps, which helps keep plastic out of oceans and landfills. Additionally, the production of it requires less energy than traditional polyester production.
Cork and bamboo are common options when it comes to greener footwear, and they offer natural cushioning and moisture resistance. Making shoes out of recycled plastics reduces landfill waste, and materials like the ones we’ve just mentioned are both biodegradable and renewable.
Shoes eventually wear out, and once they do, you can recycle them or repurpose them, once again contributing to a greener environment.
We hope this has given you some practical clothing tips that will keep you comfortable and protect the environment. Prioritise yourself for a change and refresh your wardrobe today with sustainable materials.
