Women have always been concerned about what’s in their clothes.  However, in the quest for pure and organic clothing, we’ve accepted stiff and scratchy cottons, hemps, and linens.  Fortunately, manufacturers have finally started paying attention to women’s complaints about the feel of our clothes.  New fabric blends now offer the natural fibers women prefer and the comfortable textures we adore.

One blend that offers exceptional comfort to women’s casual clothing is a cotton and modal blend.  The general mix ranges from 20 % – 40 % modal with the remainder cotton.  Premium casual clothing blends use pima cotton or certified organic cotton in conjunction with the modal.  The net result is a fabric that is completely machine washable and much softer than traditional 100% cotton products, which can be stiff and scratchy.

In the past, modal cotton blends like this were only present in specialty nightwear products.  You would see modal nightgowns or sleep shirts.  However, as these items flew off the shelves, designers made the connection and decided to transition the fabrics into mainstream casual clothing products for everyday wear.

The modal cotton blend can now be found in t-shirts, polo shirts, casual tank tops, camisoles, casual summer skirts, dresses, and soft casual pants.  The fabric continues to soften with continued wear and washing, making the clothing feel as comfortable as broken in pajamas within a few short weeks.  Contrasted with former favourites made from 100% cotton, the new blends offer additional comfort that gets them worn over and over again.

Thus, if you are looking for all natural clothing that offers organic fibers and true comfort, the new fabric blends should be your first choice.  Reading the tags on casual clothing items will help you find the softest and most comfortable new clothes for summer.
