Part of being a personal stylist is meeting with clients for a closet evaluation. Basically we go through all their articles of clothing and decide what stays and goes. We see what fits, flatters and feels good and what just doesn't work.I was evaluating a closet yesterday and noticed there was an abundance of synthetic fabrics in this wardrobe. I realized we must remedy this. I love natural fabrics like cotton, linen ,silk,bamboo,hemp and wool. They look better, last longer and feel better to the touch. Some natural fibers come from plant fibers that are woven. These fibers are able keep shape better, last longer, withstand heat or when heated return to it's original shape. Incorporated some Animal fiber like yarn or leather in an outfit for some texture. I'm not saying you can't have any synthetics fabrics in your wardrobe. In fact people can have allergies to certain types of natural fibers and they do come in handy for the gym and yoga. Just like nutritionists suggest you to read the label on food, one should read the labels in their garments. See what materials you are putting on your body. Is it most polyester blends? Mabye it's time to try a new flavor......
