Cotton is a versatile fabric available in many clothing types, styles, textures and colors. A natural fiber that is always in fashion, cotton is a popular choice for anyone wishing to add functional and affordable pieces to a wardrobe. Read on to learn more.









Step
1



Wear a cotton top or polo shirt with cotton slacks for a comfortable day at home or to watch a football game with friends. Add canvas sneakers or boat shoes to look confident and successful.




Step
2



Look professional in a man-tailored cotton shirt with a suit. For casual Friday at work, dress-down and still look elegant in a tailored cotton shirt, jeans and a blazer. Man-tailored cotton shirts come in white, pastels and stripes and match many clothes in your closet. Wear a short-sleeved cotton blouse for a softer look.




Step
3



Tie a cotton sweatshirt around your waist in case the temperature drops during a day trip. Rest the sweatshirt on your shoulders to keep warm in movie theaters and shopping malls. Pick from your favorite colors, textures and styles, including v-necks, crew necks and hoodies.




Step
4



Sleep in cotton pajamas or a cotton nightgown to be covered but cool. Use a cotton bathrobe to lounge about the house or as a cover-up for that unexpected knock at the door.




Step
5



Exercise in cotton gym clothes as an alternative to spandex or nylon. Cotton "breathes," so you can be more comfortable when working up a sweat.




Step
6



Keep cotton sweaters in your dresser as a fashion staple. Wear them with slacks, jeans, shorts and skirts. Buy basic colors to use any time or select bright colors to stand out in a crowd.




Step
7



Add a white cotton slip to your lingerie collection for daily wear or for a sexy look at home.







Tips & Warnings









Try organic cotton clothing if you are allergic to standard processed cotton. Organic cotton producers avoid cotton grown with pesticides, chlorine, arsenic, latex and heavy metals.








Gynecologists recommend white cotton underwear to prevent infections.








Read washing instructions before laundering any cotton garments at home.








Cotton clothes often require ironing. Remove them from the dryer five minutes before it is set to stop to reduce wrinkling.
