This post is an advertisement by Cotton. As you may know, I try to keep my lifestyle as natural as possible, for my hair, skincare, food, and even clothing! That is why I try my best to make sure my clothing and home accessories are cotton-rich. I’ve teamed up with Cotton to show you how, and all of the great benefits of it! Cotton is my favorite for a reason^SM. Cotton-rich clothes are especially perfect for the summer because they are soft, breathable, and cling-free. Since cotton breathes better than oil-based synthetic fabrics, you don’t have to worry about sweating throughout these hot summer days and nights. Another thing I love about cotton is that it doesn’t pill! This is one of my biggest pet peeves about other fabrics. I hate when I buy a nice shirt and then as soon as I wash it there are balls of tangled fibers on it. Cotton, however, sheds any pills in the wash so you won’t ever see them appear on your clothing—it stays smooth. So how do you know if your garments are cotton-rich? Pretty simple! Check your labels to make sure they follow the below guidelines:

90% cotton or higher for denim
60% cotton or higher for all other apparel
100% cotton for home goods Here is a whole simple and cute look I put together with cotton-rich clothing. Dress: 100% cotton Jacket: 98% cotton Canvas shoes: 100% cotton I felt so comfortable in this outfit with my flowy dress and airy, breathable cotton fabric. It’s so easy to recreate outfits like this and more all summer just by checking the labels while you shop and looking to see what you already have in your wardrobe! Fashion that functions is always in style. That’s why so many things in your closet are made of cotton. It’s breathable, durable, comfortable, and washable. It’s high end and low maintenance. So check your labels for cotton, and feel as good as you look. Learn more: TheFabricOfOurLives.com Not only do I check the labels of my clothes, but I check the labels of my bedding as well. I like to sleep comfortably without sweating and such, so I always get 100% cotton sheets and covers since it’s a breathable fabric.
