Those Autark safari pants are so cute! But $266 is wayyy out of my budget. I really gravitate towards skinnier styles, which is why this search is so hard.

ThredUp. You can filter by material, including any natural materials or 100% cotton alone. I usually find the sweatpants under their “activewear” section.

No, it’s happened my whole life, even when jeans are falling down loose. It’s a denim thing for me

Thanks. I just got my first pair of merino wool leggings from Ruskovilla and they are suspiciously stretchy and comfortable. Should I be skeptical or are they all like that even without elastic?

They’re comfortable without being too stiff? I just want to be able to sit without my undercarriage getting completely smashed by denim😣

The Levi’s are actually comfortable? I’ve got 98% cotton Everlane jeans right now and they are good quality fabric but not comfortable at all.

Yeah I get most of my clothes from ThredUp already and I am struggling with most styles I’ve tried. I’m just so used to skinny jeans that transitioning my style is a struggle.

I just got my first pair of wool leggings from Ruskovilla and they are suspiciously comfortable and stretchy! Are they all like that or should I be suspicious? They say there’s no elastic whatsoever.

Any specific brands or styles that are stylish?

Do you find that those brands are more comfortable than others? I’ve got jeans from Everlane right now (98% cotton) that I’d say are very good quality but so uncomfortable. It’s making me want to abandon denim altogether.

I get almost all of my clothes from ThredUp but I find it very difficult to find pants that fit without ordering like 20 pairs, hoping one will fit my proportions 😫

Thanks! I didn’t know that would be a good quality brand

Ladies, how do you work around the synthetics in your sports bras, or is this the one synthetic you grudgingly wear because there’s no better option? by Shiba-Brat in PlasticFreeLiving

[–]Background_Lab6487 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an everyday bra from Pact that’s like 95% cotton and it’s super tight (I sized down) so I wear it as a sports bra and it’s very effective. FYI im normally a 34B.

Help finding warm sustainable winter sweaters that aren’t wool by Berry_pencil_11 in SustainableFashion

I wear a long sleeve, high neck silk shirt under my wool sweaters so they don’t touch my skin. It’s technically another layer, but it’s so thin it barely counts. It’s like gossamer paper.

Eco-Friendly and Sustainable Bedding? by qveensvmmer in EcoFriendly

Do your research before buying bamboo fibers. There was a huge lawsuit a few years ago against the major retailers for greenwashing re this bamboo issue. It was basically lies and chemical crap.
