Today lots of people are wearing grey  Nike, Adidas, etc. (reminds me of Nazi Germany, all the grey uniforms) most of it with artificially made materials that harm the environment. When you wash an item of clothing in the washing machine, if it's not made of cotton or wool or other natural fibres, the miroplastics run out of it and into the drain and kill creatures where the water runs.

This is a quote from the website I've linked to below:

"Outdoor gear, leggings, fleeces and jumpers made from acrylic and polyester, polyamide, spandex and nylon shed up to 700,000 microfibres with each wash. Once in water, microfibres are difficult to filter out and studies have shown that these fibres are now being found in tap water in many countries."

  • I see clothing as an opportunity, to do something nice for yourself. Forgetting that the outside world see it for a moment, what do you really feel good, comfortable, and relaxed in?

    As an autist it seems to me to be the one part of the day I now enjoy, placing soft, calming, relaxed clothing over myself as a second skin, to calmly protect me from the harsh carnage of the world outside.

    I where a lot of stuff from BAM (bamboo is SUPER soft compared to cotton), and I like leather jackets for their protective capabilities when I'm riding motorbikes, and my shaved head loves a good quThumbsupity beanie to keep it from getting cold. Also BAM for super soft pants & socks Thumbsup

    I absolutely love this. 

    I like wearing a lot of stuff from Fat Face because their clothes are made with materials that are so soft and such a sensory thing for me and I feel comfortable and safe wearing them
