 thanks to a lovely friend I got to go and see The Flaming Lips followed By Nick Cave. There is a very poignant story why Nick Cave coming back to Brighton is so important.

Day 32 of 365 of outfits
Are you wearing plastic against your skin right now? Most synthetic fabrics are petroleum-based plastics that release harmful microplastics when worn and washed — affecting your health and polluting our planet. In this video, I'm breaking down why natural fabrics matter, how to spot synthetic blends that can't be recycled, and exactly how to build a sustainable summer wardrobe using only 100% natural fibres.

What You'll Learn:

The Plastic Problem:
- Why synthetic fibres (polyester, nylon, acrylic, spandex) are damaging your skin and the environment
- How microplastics penetrate your skin barrier and enter your bloodstream
- The shocking truth about microplastic pollution in our waterways and food chains
- Why synthetic fabrics take 200+ years to decompose

The Recycling Lie:
- Why blended fabrics (even 5% synthetic) cannot be recycled
- How synthetic contamination ruins entire garments for circular economy
- The difference between "recycled polyester" and truly sustainable fabrics
- Why natural fabrics are the only truly compostable option

Natural Fabric Choices for Summer:
- 100% cotton: breathable, soft, cooling (look for organic)
- Linen: naturally cooler than polyester, improves with washing
- Hemp: durable, sustainable, gets softer over time
- Silk: temperature-regulating and luxurious
- Wool & merino: breathable and moisture-wicking
- Bamboo viscose: sustainable alternatives (with caution)

Red Flags to Avoid:
- How to read fabric labels and spot synthetic content
- Why even small percentages of spandex/elastane are problematic
- Common blends that look natural but aren't recyclable
- Certifications to look for (GOTS, linen certification)

Building Your Summer Wardrobe:
- The capsule approach using 100% natural fabrics
- Quality over quantity: why one linen piece beats five polyester ones
- Strategic layering with natural materials
- Where to shop for genuinely sustainable pieces
- How to make your wardrobe truly circular and compostable

Why This Matters:

Your clothing choices affect your health, your family's health, and our planet. By switching to 100% natural fabrics, you're reducing microplastic exposure, supporting sustainable farming, and building a wardrobe that lasts. Natural fabrics aren't just better for you — they're an investment in longevity, comfort, and true sustainability.
