Recommendations of what fabrics to wear? (lemmy.world)

I want to be more respecting of my own sensory needs, and notice certain fabrics are incredible uncomfortable, as opposed to others. I've also noticed loose clothing feels more comfortable for me, then tight clothes. Cotton feels good, polyester does not. I understand this may potentially vary for each person, but wanted to ask about it anyway.

Watch out on those Levi’s. Many of their product lines are a blend of denim and spandex, which makes them feel and fit great.

Unfortunately it also means their durability goes to shit because one of those materials is not elastic. Being blended means the fabric will just fall apart, you can’t repair them.

Yeah, I have to read the hecking fine print on every piece of clothing I buy just to make sure it's not going to create pollution. It's a pia and unfortunately necessary, but worth it.
