Wearing Organic and Vintage Clothing to Protect the Environment

By Helena Johnson


Did you know bamboo is a woody grass? It definitely looks like a tree! Because bamboo grows as fast as grass, it renews itself every 3-5 years. Bamboo is grown naturally, without pesticides or chemicals, making it a totally organic, eco-friendly resource. Bamboo is a leader in helping to preserve our environment with sustainable earth friendly products.

Everybody knows bamboo flooring is beautiful and durable. So are bamboo clothes. How can that be? How can you make wood floors out of the same resource that makes the softest clothing you can buy? It's true! Bamboo clothing is as soft as silk or cashmere, but does not require dry cleaning. Like all your other favorite clothes, just machine wash bamboo clothes on delicate, cold cycle with like colors and tumble dry low. Bamboo clothes feel and drape like silk and are easy care. For an added bonus bamboo clothing is wrinkle-resistant. Does it get any better than this? Yes! Read on.

Shopping should be an enjoyable experience so try to have in your mind an idea of what you're looking for. Some brands and designers will suit your shape and personality more than others. Don't buy something by a fashionable brand just because you have heard the name. Shop around and see what colors, styles and materials you are drawn to. A brand name won't make an outfit look trendy but rather how well it suits you and how it makes you feel.

Trendy clothes does not mean breaking the bank. There are many discount stores offering cheaper brand name clothing or replicas from the catwalk in high street stores that can be within your budget. Try teaming a more expensive item of clothing with a cheaper one and the overall effect will still mean you look trendy and fantastic!

Big department stores offer a wide range of styles and brands and they can be a good place to start when looking for trendy clothes. You will be able to see what trends are in fashion in-store but be sure to check out fashion magazines for trendy clothing and tips on what's in this season and what shops have the best collections in. Stores will often put together on-trend outfits to dress their mannequins and you can get tips from these ensembles. If you like an outfit, perhaps ask the shop assistants to put together some other outfits based on the style that you like. Many shop assistants enjoy fashion and will be only too happy to help you with some clothing tips.

Bamboo clothing is one of the best products. While you won't find many vintage styles in bamboo, since the fiber has only recently been used to weave into fabric, bamboo will likely be around for years to come.
