This morning I decided to get a couple of T shirts because the summer stock is now in the shops and if you don't get what you want early on, then you're left with weird colours that you don't like or you can't get your size.
There is really only one shop in the city centre that caters for old fuddy duddies like me because most of the shops are 'designer' shops with fashions created for the young and rich. The one I went in doesn't cost a fortune either but sometimes their styles and colours seem a bit 'strange'. Anyway, I found couple of T shirts and browsed around looking at the rest of the summer stock but hardly any of the skirts, trousers and tops were made from natural fibres.
In the summer I like to wear cotton next to my skin because it's much cooler and softer than these awful man made fibres and I don't care if I have to iron it instead of giving it a shake when it comes out of the washing machine and letting it 'drip dry'. Clothes made from manufactured fibres may not require ironing but they always look crumpled and although I may be an old crinkly, I don't subscribe to the 'crinkly' look.
In the winter wool and wool blends are far better than the polyesters and acrylics and again are much more comfortable to wear. I know natural fibres such as wool and cotton take more time to care for properly but I much prefer them to synthetics.
