Organic is a hot word nowadays, from food on the table, to liquor on the bar, to paint on the walls, more of us are saying “no” to chemicals and “yes” to a more natural way of life.
Organic clothing is also becoming more popular. Items that come in direct contact with the skin, such as tee-shirts, undergarments, exercise and yoga apparel make a lot of sense particularly from a health standpoint.
Organic yoga clothing is made from cotton, hemp or bamboo that is grown without any pesticides, herbicides or chemical fertilizers. Organically-grown fibers produce yarn that is softer and more durable, and breathes easier against the skin.
These characteristics are especially important in yoga wear. High fashion and big brands are going green, too. Organic cotton, which makes up 95 percent of organic fabrics, is the driving force behind the trend. The look and feel of the clothes are so fashion-forward that many clients don’t even realize they’re buying organic.
