Beginner Hiking Guide Part Three: What to Wear Hiking

Adequate and appropriate attire while hiking can make a big difference in your mobility, comfort, and even survival. Don’t worry about fashion -- nobody on the trail cares if you look good, and feeling good is far more important. Plus, you don’t want to wear anything that you don’t mind getting dirty, since you’re going to get sweaty and potentially dusty, muddy, etc. Focus on functional clothing for the activity you’re engaging in! 

Comfort & Flexibility

You’re going to be moving a lot, so make sure you’re wearing clothes that you can move in! You’ll want clothes that fit comfortably and are sturdy enough that they won’t tear like tissue paper if you take a tumble, but that are stretchy and flexible enough that you don’t feel limited in your movements. Avoid anything that’s going to pinch or chafe.

If you don’t have hiking-specific clothes -- which, if you’re just getting started, you probably don’t -- don’t worry! Odds are there’s something in your closet that will work fine. A lot of non-cotton athleticwear is perfectly good for hiking -- I’ve used my gym leggings and workout shirt on the trail. The key is finding something that uses the right fabrics:

Fabrics

Good: Synthetic fabrics like polyester or nylon, as well as merino wool, are great for hiking. These fabrics are good at wicking moisture away from your body -- a key quality in base layers, or any fabric that touches your skin. You’re going to work up a sweat, so you want fabrics that will wick that sweat away and allow it to evaporate, rather than trapping it against your skin so you get clammy and chilled. Anything described as “quick dry” is going to be a good option. For socks, I always opt for wool. 

Bad: Cotton of any kind, including denim. Cotton is like a sponge and will absorb moisture and stay wet. You know how when you do laundry, your jeans are often still damp after the rest of your clothes have dried? Jeans will also hold on to moisture from sweat or from wet trail conditions, chilling you on a long hike; a lot of hypothermia cases in backcountry are attributed to cotton clothing. So unless you’re doing a very short, easy hike in optimal weather conditions, avoid cottons. 

Dress for the Conditions

I wrote in a previous segment about the importance of knowing the forecast for your hike; make sure you dress appropriately for the hike you’re undertaking, in the conditions you’re undertaking it in!

Hot weather: Wear light-weight moisture-wicking clothes that won’t trap sweat against your body and that will let you keep cool. If you have longer hair, bring something to tie it up/back to keep sweaty hair out of your face.

Sunny weather: If it’s sunny and you’re going to be out in direct light, consider a lightweight outer layer to protect yourself from the sun. A hat with a wide brim is also a good option, and definitely bring sunglasses!

Wet weather: If it looks like there might be rain, make sure you have clothing on that will dry quickly, and a rain shell/rain jacket -- something lightweight and breathable. Also consider packing an extra pair of socks (because nothing is worse than hiking in wet socks) and an extra warm dry layer since you’re more likely to get chilled when you’re wet. 

Cold weather: Layer up! Make sure you are dressed warmly, and pack one more layer than you think you’re going to need. My dad always says, “If you wore all your layers, you didn’t pack enough layers.” (more on layers below). Also be sure to have a hat that fully covers your ears, a scarf or buff or other means of keeping your face and neck warm, gloves/mittens, and warm wool socks.

While you will probably be pretty warm from exertion while you’re hiking, you’ll find yourself cooling down quickly when you stop for breaks-- or if you have to stop due to an injury or other problem. Always pack for the coldest you might get. (On a longer, more remote hike, this should include ‘how cold I’ll get if I get lost and spend the night outside.’)

How to Layer for Warmth:

Underwear: Synthetic, moisture-wicking, and comfortable. If you have breasts, make sure you have adequate support. I’m a fan of high-impact sports bras and long boxer briefs to avoid chafing/riding up.

Base Layer: Wear a top in a moisture-wicking fabric (pretty much any synthetic workout shirt will do!); if it’s mild enough you don’t need multiple bottom layers, opt for quick-dry pants or athletic leggings and you’re probably good there. If it’s cold, consider wearing non-cotton leggings or long underwear as an insulating layer under a pair of pants -- if you’re like me and slip and fall on your ass a lot, your cold wet butt will thank you.

Mid Layer: This is your insulating layer that traps in heat. In warm or mild temperatures, sticking a light jacket or hoodie in your pack for if you need it is fine, but if temps are dipping colder, bulk up your mid layer(s). I usually wear a fleece jacket and then an insulated puff jacket over it when I hike in winter. You may also consider warmer pants (I have fleece-lined joggers for when it’s REALLY cold).

Outer Layer: If base layers keep away the moisture from your skin, and mid layers trap in heat, your outer layer is preventing heat loss and moisture from everything else. Windbreakers and rain shells can keep high winds from biting through your other layers and stealing away body heat, and keep rain from soaking you through and similarly putting you at risk for hypothermia.

Will you need all these layers on a hike? Probably not! In the middle of summer at low elevations, I hike in base layers and throw a rain shell in my pack and I’m pretty much good. But in winter, I’ve had up to 5 layers. So it will depend on the conditions.

Also, be ready to take off and add layers throughout your hike. I usually shed a layer within the first half mile of a hike as I get warmed up, but will often put layers back on when I reach summit, or am taking a snack break. Dropping layers when necessary will prevent you from sweating too much (soaking your clothes and dehydrating you).

Footwear:

Perhaps the most important item in your hiking ensemble is your footwear. Proper shoes can make or break a hike. Or a leg, for that matter. 

Hiking boots are thusly named because, well, they’re good for hiking. You want footwear that:

is sturdy

has good grip/traction

keeps you comfortable by cushioning, supporting, and protecting your foot. 

Good: Hiking boots. Trail/hiking shoes. Hiking sandals, weather permitting. Maybe sneakers, on a really flat and easy trail, though I don’t recommend them for more rugged trails.

Bad: Basically everything else. Ballet flats, flip flops, crocs, converse, etc. Anything that pinches or hurts your feet after a while. Any brand new shoes you’ve never worn or broken in. 

Now admittedly, a good pair of hiking boots can be expensive. But if you’re going to invest in anything to get started while hiking, I beg you to invest in a comfortable pair of hiking boots/shoes. And practice walking in them and breaking them in before you hit the trail -- you will often find that the experience of walking uphill in a particular pair of shoes feels very different from walking in them on flat terrain. 

Additional clothing notes:

Long pants vs. Shorts. I personally always hike in long pants, though I see plenty of people hiking in shorts in summer. I recommend researching trail conditions, the local ecology, and knowing your own heat tolerance. Long pants might not let you cool off like shorts, but they do protect your legs from sun exposure, ticks and other insect bites, and scratches and scrapes from brambles or rocks.

Socks. I highly recommend wool socks for hiking, year-round. Also, make sure that your socks fit well; loose, baggy socks are more likely to slip around in your shoe and cause blisters, along with socks that are shorter than the ankle of your shoe.

Jewelry. In addition to jewelry potentially catching and tangling on things, there’s the risk of it getting lost and being near impossible to find. I recommend you don’t wear or bring anything overly precious to you while hiking. That includes clothes you really really love, because you will get gross.

Binders. If you wear a binder, consider not wearing it while hiking, or wear a binder a size up from your usual. You will know your body and limitations best, but as a matter of safety you don't want your breathing restricted or to risk overheating, and it is widely recommended not to bind while engaging in strenuous activity.

In Summary:

Dress comfortably for activity

Avoid cotton ([Edna Mode voice: NO JEANS!]) and stick to synthetics that will wick away moisture and dry fast

Factor in weather and trail conditions into your clothing choices

Layers are your friend (and pack a spare layer just in case)

Get yourself some decent hiking shoes that won’t fall apart, slip and skid, or leave your feet blistered and hurting

Don't worry about looking stylish; just stay safe, comfortable, and have fun!

how do you manage your style when its really hot outside?

this is such a fun question!! i don't do well with heat at all, so i have a bunch of suggestions for wearing lolita when it's hot and humid.. some of which may be a bit obvious, but hopefully they'll be of some help for you!

i'll include my full answer under this "read more" cut because i think it'll get a bit lengthy.

choosing your outfit

as for your clothes, avoid fabrics and materials like polyester and velveteen when the weather is hot. polyester tends to trap heat underneath it, and velveteen is far too thick and heavy. it's better to opt for breathable cotton and thinner materials like chiffon. i especially recommend cotton bloomers.

short sleeve blouses, cutsews, tank tops, or short sleeve OP are better for keeping cool. many people are against the "blouseless/showing shoulders" rule, but it's more of a guideline.. if you're not throwing every guideline out the window at once, it still reads as lolita.. especially when the weather is extreme and permits it! a JSK without a blouse could definitely work and look great when coorded mindfully. i personally find that JSK with detailed straps and a babydoll cut look the best if you intend on going blouseless.

a more layered petticoat is a lot hotter and stuffier in the heat, a more casual poof will keep you cooler.. though a hoopskirt will be best for avoiding contact with your skin (not a fan of these personally, but they do work!)

ankle socks and UTK will be a lot more manageable than OTK. you could even ditch socks altogether if you have a good pair of sandals that suit your coord!

if you have thick or long hair, it'll always be better to style it by putting it up instead of leaving it down. you should plan this accordingly for the type of style you're going for. for example, twin tails tend to be cute for sweet and sometimes old school substyles, while updo hairstyles would suit classic more.

planning your day

i recommend planning your day around a place indoors that will have AC, and also finding transportation with it.

absolutely limit your walking! walking a few blocks is fine, but if you're doing more than a minimal amount of walking you should definitely be taking breaks in between.

before leaving the house

sunscreen!! protect your skin from the sun, don't forget your hands, face and neck.

absolutely don't skip deodorant if you're someone who sweats!!

if you have hair that doesn't do well in the humidity, use anti frizz products. if your hair gets messy, falls apart, and doesn't hold a style.. use a hair styling stick!! i can't recommend this enough for those who have bangs. doesn't have to be these products exactly, these are just what i use.

i apply one pump of olaplex on the ends of my hair (like the bottom 7 inches of it or so) while it's wet and gently massage it in. i spray the IGK good behavior spray all over very generously, but especially around my bangs and the roots of my hair. once my hair is dry and styled, i spray a bit of hair spray and lightly brush through. to completely set it, i apply this &honey matomake stick to my bangs (brush through like it's mascara) you can use a lot, it doesn't make them oily at all.. totally makes them stay in place for a long time. if you have very unruly bangs, i suggest using it on the underside of your bangs as well.

if you wear makeup, be sure that you're prepping your skin properly beforehand with skincare suited to your skin type and a good summer proof primer and setting it after with a reliable setting spray. opt for waterproof products if you sweat often!

things to carry with you

if you're going to be in the sun, a parasol will help out tremendously. make sure it's one with a UV cut effect for the best results. my go to one is the "frill millefeuille umbrella" by angelic pretty!

always take water with you!! be sure that you're drinking often.

i take a foldable fan with me. you just charge it overnight with a USB and throw it in your purse when it's time to go. it also doubles as a charging battery for your phone and a flashlight! looks small and wimpy but it has two settings and the more powerful one definitely makes a difference.

touch ups

a big part about going out in the heat wearing lolita is upkeep and touch ups, especially if you're going to be out of the house for a long time. personally, i carry around these items.. but you should of course tailor this to exclude products you don't think you'll need, everyone's different!

a mirror travel size mini dry shampoo (great for extra long days in the heat, especially if your bangs tend to get oily quick, while the rest of your hair doesn't) foldable comb (bang touch ups) blotting sheets (i have combination skin and my T zone gets oily quite fast in the summer. amazing for your forehead, since it's touching your bangs and could be making them oily quicker) compact powder puff (makeup touch ups)

#this is just off the top of my head so i might have forgotten some LOL #and sorry for the late answer!! #asks #lolita resources #lolita fashion #egl

What's that Smell? Get Rid of Your Body Odor

Body odor is a common thing in humans. Hormones, certain medical conditions, and the foods you eat can cause strong body odor or a change in the way you smell. Strong body odor is often considered unpleasant, however there are ways to prevent or treat body odor.

Body odor is embarrassing. Luckily, in most cases, this doesn't indicate a serious problem. There are several things you can do to get rid of body odor, or at least reduce it.

Use Anti-Bacterial Soap If showering regularly doesn't seem to help, try a special cleanser. This includes: Anti-bacterial soap or body wash like Dial Benzoyl peroxide sanitizer This washing can help reduce the amount of bacteria on your skin.

Shower Daily Take a shower at least once a day. Use soap or shower gel and lather well. Pay special attention to areas that are prone to body odor. If you are in a particularly hot or humid area, you may need to shower twice a day. You can also use a washcloth to wash just your armpits, groin and skin folds. Make sure to shower immediately after exercising or sweating.

Choose the Right Armpit Products There are two types of armpit products: deodorants and antiperspirants. Deodorant makes your armpits less hospitable to bacteria. They also help cover up body odor with fragrance. Antiperspirants block sweat glands to reduce perspiration. If you don't sweat a lot but still develop body odor, deodorant is a good choice. If you sweat a lot, look for products that contain both antiperspirant and deodorant. If you have strong body odor, look for products with higher amounts of the active ingredient. If over-the-counter products don't seem to be helping, talk to a health care provider. You might benefit from a prescription antiperspirant/deodorant.

Change Your Diet Eliminate or reduce spicy or hot foods from your diet. These include foods such as: Garlic, Curry, Brussels sprouts, Hot peppers, Onions, Broccoli. These foods can cause sweat to become more intense. Alcohol can even change the smell of your sweat. If you regularly consume this type of food, try eating less of it or stopping it altogether. It might help improve your body odor.

Wear Breathable Cloth Natural materials such as cotton are better than polyester, nylon, and rayon at controlling body odor. Breathable natural fibers; This allows sweat to evaporate. Avoid fabrics that trap sweat against your skin. This creates better breeding grounds for body odor. When working out, choose fabrics that absorb moisture.

Shave or Wax The apocrine glands are concentrated in areas covered with hair. This includes the underarms and pubic area. Hair resists sweat and is a good home for bacteria. Hair removal can help control body odor. Consider shaving your underarms. If you prefer not to go naked, try cutting your hair short. It can also help reduce body odor.

Your Ultimate Guide to Hiking Kilts:

Hiking kilts are a great option for outdoor enthusiasts who want a beautiful, functional, and comfortable substitute for standard hiking pants. They are renowned for their longevity as well. Usually, they are composed of durable materials that can resist tough terrain and inclement weather, such polyester or nylon. They are therefore a dependable option for even the most difficult hikes.  

Benefits of Wearing a Hiking Kilt:

Hiking kilt wear has many advantages that improve your trekking experience.

Comfort and Mobility: 

The free movement and unparalleled comfort of hiking kilts are attributed to their lightweight and breathable materials, which surpass those of regular hiking pants. It offers a greater degree of freedom of movement than tight clothing.

Ventilation:

They are excellent in warm weather because of their open style. Because there is less fabric around the legs, there is more ventilation, which keeps you cool and reduces perspiration. Ventilation is quite important, particularly in humid areas or on long hikes.  

Storage: 

Deep pockets are one of the most notable features of hiking kilts. The thoughtful placement of these compartments lets you keep important items like snacks, a smartphone, maps, and even a tiny water bottle. Keeping these things close at hand can help you save a lot of time and energy and keep your attention on the route. 

Versatility: 

Not only are hiking kilts functional, but they also give your outdoor clothing a little of rough appeal. This adaptable outfit will draw attention whether you're hiking outdoors or exploring rough paths. It is also appropriate for informal get-togethers and outdoor occasions, making it a multipurpose addition to your closet. 

Different Types of Hiking Kilts: 

Kilts for hiking are available in a variety of styles and designs to suit a range of hiking circumstances and tastes. Here are some well-liked choices:

Classic Hiking Kilt:

Typically, they are knee-length and have a straightforward style. It is a flexible option that works well for most hiking situations and strikes a decent mix between mobility and coverage.

Long Hiking Kilt: 

It is a wonderful option if you desire extra protection and coverage. These knee-length kilts protect your legs from potential abrasions, bug stings, and inclement weather by reaching your ankles.  

Tips To Wear A Hiking Kilt:

It is a useful and stylish substitute for traditional hiking pants, but to make the most of them, it's important to wear them appropriately. Below is a guide on how to put on a hiking kilt:   

Adjust The Kilt To The Right Length:

Kilts usually fall to a point just above the knee, but you can change the length by utilizing the adjustable straps on the side or folding down the top of the kilt.

Fasten The Kilt Securely:

The most common ways to secure a kilt are with a buckle or several snaps. To keep the kilt from slipping off or moving while you're hiking, make sure it's tightened around your waist. 

Layer Appropriately: 

Since kilts are composed of breathable, light materials, you might need to wear extra garments when the weather gets colder. For extra warmth, try wearing your kilt with long johns or thermal leggings.

Accessorize Wisely:

Kilts are adaptable garments that can be dressed up or down for different situations. To finish off your outfit, think about including a belt, a kilt pin, or a pair of socks in a complementary hue. 

Maintenance and care tips for kilts:

Although delicate materials are frequently used to make kilts, it is essential to have them dry cleaned by an expert. While maintaining the fabric's integrity, dry cleaning aids in the removal of any stains or grime. Store your kilt out of direct sunlight in a cool, dry area when not in use. To keep the kilt from creasing, avoid folding it too tightly. The easiest approach to keep the kilt in shape is to put it on a good kilt hanger. If the kilt gets wrinkly, use a low-temperature steam iron to gently iron out the creases. To avoid any damage, iron the kilt on the opposite side or insert a towel between the iron and the fabric. 

Conclusion:

Hiking kilts allow you to have more flexibility of movement than hiking pants ever could. Unleash your inner hiking enthusiast and appreciate the great outdoors in elegance. Its purpose is to improve your comfort, mobility, and overall hiking experience. You can select between a classic style and a utility style with additional pockets. It's time to put on your hiking kilt and hit the trails with confidence if you're prepared to step up your trekking game. Experience a new level of design, comfort, and functionality in your outdoor pursuits. It is your reliable buddy while you take on the difficulties of nature, so get ready to turn heads and make a statement.

How to Care for and Extend the Life of Your Clothing

In today’s fast-paced world, the life cycle of clothing has become increasingly short. The rise of fast fashion has led to a culture of disposability where clothing is worn briefly and then discarded. This has not only led to an excessive waste problem but also hidden environmental costs, such as increased energy consumption and pollution. The good news is that there are ways to change this narrative. By learning how to care for and extend the life of your clothing, you can reduce your environmental footprint and save money in the long run.

Understanding Fabric Types

Before we delve into the specific care practices, it’s crucial to understand that not all fabrics are created equal. Different types of fabrics have distinct characteristics, and knowing how to handle them appropriately can significantly impact the longevity of your clothing.

Cotton is a popular natural fiber, and while it’s comfortable and breathable, it is also prone to shrinking. To care for cotton clothing, wash it in cold water and avoid high-heat drying.

Wool is another natural fiber known for its warmth. However, it can be susceptible to stretching and felting. When caring for wool garments, it’s best to hand wash them in cold water or use the delicate cycle on your washing machine.

Synthetic fabrics like polyester and nylon are durable and easy to care for, but they are prone to pilling. To prevent this, wash synthetic clothing inside out and avoid overloading the washing machine.

Silk is a delicate natural fiber, and it’s essential to use a gentle detergent when washing silk garments. Hand washing is often the best approach to preserve their quality.

Blended fabrics, like cotton-polyester blends, combine the benefits of multiple materials. However, they may require specific care that considers the properties of each fabric.

Always check clothing labels for care instructions. These labels are your best guide to preserving your garments.

Sorting and Storage

Before you even start the laundry process, proper sorting and storage can make a significant difference in how long your clothing lasts. Begin by sorting your clothing into categories like whites, darks, and colors. Sorting helps prevent color bleeding and ensures that you use the right water temperature and detergent for each load.

When storing clothing, make sure it’s clean and completely dry. Moisture can lead to mold and mildew, which can damage fabric and cause unpleasant odors. Use appropriate hangers to hang clothing, ensuring they don’t stretch the fabric or leave shoulder bumps. For items that should be folded, like knitwear, use acid-free tissue paper between folds to prevent creases.

Consider using garment bags for more delicate or special occasion items. These bags protect clothing from dust, moths, and other potential hazards. Avoid hanging heavy garments on wire hangers, as they can cause stretching and deform the fabric.

Washing and Drying

When it comes to washing and drying your clothing, there are several tips to follow that can extend the life of your garments.

Washing

Choose the right water temperature and detergent for the fabric type. For instance, use cold water for most fabrics, but warmer water for heavily soiled items like bedding or kitchen towels. Always measure the detergent to avoid overuse, as excess detergent can leave residue on your clothing.

Pre-treat stains as soon as possible to prevent them from setting. There are various stain removers available, or you can make your own using household items like baking soda and vinegar. Gently blot the stain; do not rub it in, as this can spread the stain.

Use the right washing machine cycle. The delicate cycle is suitable for more fragile fabrics, while the regular cycle works for most everyday clothing. Overloading the machine can cause friction and damage your garments, so avoid cramming too many items into one load.

Drying

The drying process is just as important as washing. While it’s convenient to use a dryer, consider air drying your clothing when possible. Hanging clothes outside to dry in the sun not only conserves energy but also helps eliminate odors and bacteria.

If you must use a dryer, choose the lowest heat setting that is appropriate for the fabric. Overheating clothing can lead to shrinkage, fading, and damage to elastic fibers.

Use dryer balls or tennis balls in the dryer to help fluff and separate items, reducing drying time and preventing wrinkling. Remove clothing from the dryer as soon as the cycle is complete to prevent wrinkles and save energy.

Ironing and Steaming

Ironing and steaming are essential techniques for maintaining the appearance of your clothing.

Ironing

Start by ensuring your iron is clean and free of any mineral deposits. Follow the fabric-specific temperature recommendations on the clothing label. If you’re unsure, start with a lower heat setting and gradually increase it.

Always use an ironing board or a flat, heat-resistant surface to prevent scorching or damaging your iron or clothing. Iron clothing inside out to prevent direct contact between the iron and delicate fabrics.

Use a pressing cloth or a clean cotton fabric to protect delicate fabrics like silk. When storing an ironed garment, hang it up to prevent wrinkles.

Steaming

Steaming is a gentler alternative to ironing and can be used on most fabrics. A handheld steamer is a convenient tool to have. It works by emitting steam that relaxes the fabric and releases wrinkles.

Hang the garment you want to steam on a hanger, and then gently run the steamer over it, holding the steamer head slightly away from the fabric to avoid direct contact.

Steaming is particularly effective for delicate fabrics like silk, which can be easily damaged by the direct heat of an iron. Additionally, it can be used to freshen clothing between washes, eliminating odors and bacteria.

Mending and Repairs

Sometimes, despite your best efforts, clothing can develop wear and tear. Knowing how to mend and make simple repairs can help you extend the life of your favorite pieces.

Identifying Common Issues

Before making repairs, it’s essential to identify the issues your clothing is facing. Common problems include loose buttons, frayed seams, small holes or snags, and loose hems.

Basic Sewing and Repair Skills

Reattaching Buttons: Sewing on a loose or missing button is a straightforward repair. You’ll need a needle, thread that matches the color of the fabric, and a button. Make sure to knot the thread securely and then sew the button back in place.

Fixing Loose Seams: If a seam has come undone, you can mend it by carefully sewing it back together. Use a thread that matches the fabric and sew along the existing seam.

Patching Holes and Snags: Small holes or snags can be patched with matching fabric or with an iron-on patch. Follow the instructions on the patch’s packaging for the best results.

Hemming: Hemming is the process of shortening the length of a garment. It’s a useful skill to have, especially for pants and skirts. Carefully measure the desired length and fold the fabric to create a neat hem. Sew it in place.

Fixing Loose Hems: Loose hems can be reattached using a needle and thread. Make sure the thread matches the fabric to create a seamless repair.

When to Seek Professional Repairs

While you can handle many basic repairs at home, some issues are best left to professionals. This includes complex alterations, significant fabric damage, or high-value garments. If you’re unsure about a repair, consult a tailor or seamstress who can provide expert guidance.

Stain Removal

Stains are an unfortunate but common clothing problem. The key to effective stain removal is to address them as soon as possible.

Stain Removal Techniques

Blot, Don’t Rub: When dealing with a stain, blot it with a clean cloth or paper towel. Rubbing can spread the stain and make it harder to remove.

Pretreat: Apply a stain remover or a homemade solution like a mixture of baking soda and water to the stained area. Gently rub it in and let it sit for a few minutes.

Launder Promptly: After pretreating, wash the clothing as usual. Check for the stain’s removal before drying; heat can set the stain permanently.

Repeat If Necessary: Stubborn stains may require multiple treatments. Be patient and persistent, as some stains can take several attempts to remove completely.

Natural and DIY Stain Removal Solutions

For grease and oil stains, sprinkle talcum powder or cornstarch on the area to absorb the oil. After a few hours, brush it off and treat the stain with a mixture of dish soap and warm water.

Red wine stains can be treated with white wine or white vinegar to neutralize the color before washing.

Ink stains may respond well to rubbing alcohol or hairspray. Apply the solution and blot the stain until it lifts.

Precautions

Before applying any stain-removing solution, test it on an inconspicuous area of the fabric to ensure it won’t cause color fading or damage. Always follow the care instructions on the clothing label.

Seasonal Clothing Rotation

Rotating your clothing with the changing seasons not only keeps your closet organized but also extends the life of your garments.

Importance of Seasonal Rotation

Changing your clothing with the seasons allows you to assess the condition of your items, mend any issues, and properly store off-season garments. It also helps you declutter and donate items you no longer need or wear.

Proper Storage

When transitioning seasonal clothing, make sure your off-season items are clean and free of any stains. Fold them neatly and store them in breathable containers, such as fabric bins or garment bags, to protect against dust, moths, and moisture.

Preparing Clothing for Storage

Before storing clothing, make any necessary repairs, including mending, washing, and ironing. This ensures that your clothing remains in good condition during its time in storage.

Sustainable Practices

The fashion industry is one of the most polluting industries globally, and adopting sustainable practices can make a significant difference in reducing its environmental impact.

Sustainable Fashion

Sustainable fashion is a movement that promotes clothing production and consumption with a focus on minimizing environmental and social impacts. It involves making conscious choices when it comes to what you buy, how you care for your clothing, and how you dispose of it.

Thrifting and Secondhand Shopping

One of the most sustainable practices is to buy secondhand clothing. Thrift stores, vintage shops, and online platforms for secondhand fashion provide a wide variety of clothing that’s already in circulation, reducing the demand for new production.

Upcycling and DIY

Upcycling involves transforming old or discarded clothing into something new and trendy. This can be a fun and creative way to extend the life of your clothing. Simple upcycling projects might include turning old jeans into shorts or adding patches to a jacket.

Recycling

When clothing is beyond repair or wear, consider recycling it. Many organizations and clothing brands offer recycling programs that turn old garments into new products or repurpose the fabric for other uses.

Eco-Friendly Detergents and Practices

Choose eco-friendly detergents that are biodegradable and have minimal environmental impact. Washing clothes in cold water, line-drying, and using a high-efficiency washing machine are additional eco-friendly practices that conserve energy and water.

Conclusion

Caring for your clothing and extending its life is not just a matter of preserving your favorite pieces; it’s a statement of responsibility towards the environment and a commitment to reducing the impact of fast fashion. By understanding your fabrics, practicing proper sorting and storage, washing and drying clothing effectively, mending and repairing as needed, and employing stain removal techniques, you can significantly extend the life of your garments. Seasonal rotation and sustainable practices further contribute to a more responsible and eco-friendly approach to fashion. With a little care and attention, you can make your clothing last longer, save money, and reduce your environmental footprint.

Women Night Dress- Things You Need To Consider While Shopping

When we get work from home, the first thing we usually want to do is get into bed and cuddle up for the night. Not thinking about what to dress before going to bed out of laziness is a bad habit many of us have. The clothes you wear to bed are just as significant as the ones you wear to work, in the town, or on a date.

What could be more desirable than a restful night's sleep? So, treat your pajamas with the same care you do for your entire wardrobe. If you are new to the world of night suits for women and unsure how and where to begin, we have compiled a few pointers to assist you in making the perfect purchase.

Fabric

Make sure the nightwear you purchase is comfortable if you want to have good dreams, ladies. Cotton women night dress is the epitome of coziness.

Many additional types of nightgowns are made from a wide range of materials. Satin, polyester, and other synthetic fabrics are also available as alternatives. Cotton pajamas are breathable, soft, and comfortable.

Size

Unlike most other types of clothing, sleepwear need not have a snug fit. Tight nightgowns for women may restrict circulation and increase the risk of infection. Additionally, restrictive garments might cause restless tossing and turning all night.

Your Style

Although practicality is essential, one should pay attention to aesthetics. Pick up a nightgown for women with designs that reflect your character. Ladies night dress should be comfortable and relaxing, so choose something simple and quiet.

You should also avoid wearing dark colors and a lot of print and instead go for brighter ones. The sunnier your nightgown, you will feel more at ease and peaceful.

Environmental Conditions

When shopping for women's pajamas, it is important to keep the weather in mind. What works well in the summer may not be appropriate in the winter or the cold. Short nighties or tops with shorts are a good option in warmer months, while long nightgowns or pajamas with hoodies might be more comfortable during the cooler months.

These will keep the heat inside for longer. Wearing long-sleeved shirts and warm short night dress to bed is a good idea if you reside in a chilly location. If you choose, you may also wear a wool nightgown.

Picking the Right Outline

No one should ever go to bed in skin-tight pajamas. Always choose loose and roomy pajamas so that your skin may breathe rather than a tight nightgown. Chaffing and skin irritation might result if it clings to your body.

So, check that your nightgown is falling in a straight line. You may rest easy knowing you will not have to swivel around at midnight awkwardly. Sizing up from your usual sleepwear size is always good, so it can only add to your comfort if that is an option.

Think About What You Prefer

Your room is your sanctuary. Choosing an outfit, you love is the first step to relaxing in it. So, be yourself with your outfit! In general, brighter colors are preferable over darker ones. The layout is just as important as the color scheme. Whether you want to wear flowery prints or cartoon prints is totally up to you.

You should be good to go now that you know where and how to get a night suit online. You may get a variety of sleepwear there, including nightdresses, short sets, night suits, and more.

Do Not Go Into Too Much Detailing

As your nightwear, your nightgown should be the least fussy attire you wear all day. It should be as simple as possible to maintain your sleep, if not completely blank. Unless you are trying to impress your boyfriend, you should avoid flashy elements like large buttons or lace fabric and instead go for understated accents like modest press buttons or slip-on shoes.

Remember The Sleeves

Now that we are discussing summertime nightgowns, the focus should be maximizing ventilation. We are not suggesting you ditch the straps altogether, but if you are not like that look, try some short-sleeved tops or racerback camis instead.

Get pajamas with long or three-quarter sleeves to stay warm during the colder months. You know exactly what type of summer nightdress you should be looking for now, so go ahead and start your search.

Keep Sight Of The Importance Of Length

What you wear depends on your taste and, of course, the weather. Younger girls often choose shorter pajamas, nighties, or shorts for sleepwear, while older women wear long gowns. You have options if you want long nighties, pajamas, or knee-length sleep shirts based on your preferences and style.

You may easily measure yourself against the model when purchasing women's lingerie online. You may use this to see whether the nightgown is the right length for you.

Versatility

You should create the ideal appearance by combining different women sleepwear pieces. You only need a few different pieces to have the best nightwear. You may save money and yet look putting together by sticking to the basics of a shirt and jeans.

Durability

You should not have to replace your nightwear after just a few uses. To get your money's worth out of an item, consider how long you can expect it to last before breaking down.

Maintenance

You should not only consider the nightwear's quality, materials, and style but also how little work will be required to put on and take off. Picking anything that cannot be washed in a machine is bad.

Conclusion

In short, the information presented here will help you choose more practical and cozy women's nightwear the next time. Sleeping in soft, cozy pajamas may do wonders for your state of mind the next morning.

Please forward this to a friend who enjoys trying out new sleepwear each night. With any luck, the advice above may aid you in your search for stylish and comfortable nightwear set for ladies at Clovercrafty. So waste no more time and get for shopping now!

What to Wear to the Gym: Workout Outfits

When it comes to hitting the gym, what you wear can make a significant difference in your workout performance. The right workout outfit not only enhances your comfort but also boosts your confidence, allowing you to focus on getting the most out of your exercise routine. Whether you're a seasoned gym-goer or just starting your fitness journey, here's a guide on what to wear to the gym and some tips to help you choose the perfect workout outfit.

Choose Breathable Fabrics

One of the most important factors to consider when selecting gym attire is the fabric. Opt for breathable materials that wick away moisture, such as polyester or spandex blends. These fabrics allow air to circulate, keeping you cool and dry during intense workouts. Avoid cotton, as it tends to absorb sweat and can leave you feeling uncomfortable and weighed down.

Invest in Proper Sports Bras

Ladies, a good sports bra is an essential part of your gym wardrobe. It provides the necessary support and minimizes breast movement during exercise, reducing discomfort and potential damage to breast tissue. Look for a sports bra that offers the right level of support for your chosen activities. High-impact sports like running or aerobics require maximum support, while low-impact workouts like yoga may need less.

Opt for Moisture-Wicking Tops

When choosing a top for your workout, prioritize moisture-wicking properties. Tank tops or T-shirts made from performance fabrics are ideal for their ability to draw sweat away from your body, keeping you dry and comfortable. Consider tops with breathable mesh panels or strategic ventilation to enhance airflow during intense workouts.

Select the Right Bottoms

When it comes to gym bottoms, the options are abundant. Whether you prefer leggings, shorts, or capris, prioritize comfort and flexibility. Look for bottoms made from stretchy fabrics that allow a wide range of motion. Opt for moisture-wicking materials to keep you cool and dry. Leggings with a high waistband offer additional support and can help you feel more secure during your workouts.

Supportive Footwear is Essential

Investing in a good pair of workout shoes is crucial for optimal performance and injury prevention. Different types of exercises require specific footwear, so choose accordingly. Running shoes provide cushioning and support for cardio activities, while cross-training shoes offer stability and versatility for a range of exercises. Make sure your shoes fit well and provide proper arch support to avoid discomfort and potential foot problems.

Layer Up for Comfort

If you're heading to the gym during colder months or in a climate-controlled environment, layering can help regulate your body temperature. Start with a moisture-wicking base layer, add a lightweight jacket or sweatshirt, and remove or adjust layers as needed during your workout. This allows you to stay warm before and after your session while preventing overheating during exercise.

Don't Forget the Accessories

While not essential, accessories can enhance your gym experience. Consider investing in a sweat-wicking headband to keep hair and sweat out of your face. A good pair of workout gloves can provide extra grip and prevent blisters when lifting weights. Lastly, don't forget a towel and a water bottle to stay hydrated and fresh throughout your workout.

Dress Appropriately for Your Workout

Different workout routines require different clothing choices. If you're practicing yoga or Pilates, opt for form-fitting leggings and a moisture-wicking top that allows freedom of movement. For weightlifting, choose shorts or pants that don't restrict your range of motion and provide adequate support for your joints. Consider the specific demands of your exercise routine and dress accordingly.

In conclusion, choosing the right workout outfit is essential for a comfortable and effective gym session. Prioritize breathable fabrics, invest in proper sports bras, and opt for moisture-wicking tops and bottoms. Don't forget supportive footwear and consider layering for colder weather. Add accessories as needed, and dress appropriately for your specific workout routine. By paying attention to these details, you'll be ready to conquer the gym with style and confidence.

How to Care for Your Cotton Bedding Duvet: Tips for Keeping It Soft and Fresh

Are you tired of your cotton bedding feeling rough and scratchy? Do you want to know how to keep it soft and fresh for longer? Look no further! In this blog post, we'll give you all the tips and tricks on how to care for your cotton bedding. From cleaning to storing, we've got everything covered so that you can get the most out of your duvet covers, cot bed duvets, 3 tog duvets, baby's cot duvets, 15 tog duvets and even complete duvet sets. So sit back, relax and learn how to make your bed a haven of comfort with our simple yet effective advice.

What is a cotton bedding?

Cotton bedding 15 tog duvet is a type of bed linen made from cotton fibers. It's commonly used because it's breathable, comfortable and durable. Cotton sheets come in different colors, patterns and thread counts which are indicators of their quality. Thread count refers to the number of threads woven into one square inch of fabric. The higher the thread count, the denser and softer the sheets will be. Egyptian cotton is considered to be one of the most luxurious types due to its long fibers that produce strong and soft fabrics. Cotton bedding comes in various styles like duvet covers, fitted sheets, flat sheets or pillowcases that can all be mixed and matched for a personalized look. Cotton bedding also has hypoallergenic properties making it an ideal choice for people with allergies or sensitive skin. Cotton bedding offers both style and comfort while being easy to care for compared to other materials such as silk or polyester blends. With proper maintenance and cleaning techniques, your cotton bedding can last you years without losing its softness or color vibrancy!

How to Clean Cotton Bedding

Taking care of your cot bed duvet is important to keep it soft and fresh. One of the most crucial steps in maintaining its quality is cleaning it regularly. Here are some tips on how to clean your cotton bedding properly. First, always read the care label instructions before washing your beddings. Some cotton materials may require specific washing conditions or temperatures that you need to follow. Wash your cotton bedding separately from colored items to prevent color bleeding. Use a mild detergent, as strong chemicals tend to break down fibers and damage the fabric's structure. When washing duvet covers, unzip them entirely and remove any inserts beforehand. This way, you'll ensure that every part of the cover gets cleaned thoroughly without damaging zippers or buttons. Use cold water when washing cotton sheets because hot water can shrink or damage fibers over time. Additionally, avoid using bleach as it can weaken the material and cause yellowing over time. Dry your cotton bedding on low heat settings or hang them out to air-dry naturally under shade away from direct sunlight exposure. Doing so will protect their delicate fibers while keeping them fresh-smelling!

How to Store Cotton Bedding

Properly storing your cotton bedding is just as important as cleaning it. Here are some tips for keeping your cotton bedding in top condition when not in use. First, make sure that your babys cot duvet is completely dry before storing it away. Any moisture left on the fabric can lead to mildew or mold growth, which will ruin the material and cause unpleasant odors. Next, fold your cotton bedding neatly and place it inside a breathable storage bag or container. Avoid using plastic bags or containers as they trap moisture and promote bacterial growth. It's also a good idea to store your cotton bedding in a cool, dry place that's out of direct sunlight. Heat and humidity can damage the fibers of the material over time, causing them to break down more quickly than normal wear and tear would do. Try to avoid stacking heavy items on top of stored cotton bedding as this can cause wrinkles and creases that are difficult to remove later on. By following these simple steps you'll be able to keep your cotton bedding fresh, clean, and ready for use whenever you need it!

Tips for Making Cotton Bedding More Comfortable

One of the best things about duvet covers is how comfortable it can be. However, sometimes even the softest cotton sheets and duvet covers need a little extra help to make them feel truly luxurious. Here are some tips for making your cotton bedding more comfortable: 1. Use natural fiber fabrics: Cotton blends might be cheaper, but they don't have the same softness and breathability as pure cotton or linen fabrics. 2. Wash before using: New bedding can have sizing or other chemicals that make them stiff and uncomfortable. So always wash your new sheets before using them to soften their fibers. 3. Use fabric conditioner: Fabric conditioners can help keep your cotton bedding soft over time by reducing friction between fibers during washing and drying cycles. 4. Avoid high heat settings when washing or drying: High heat settings may damage the delicate fibers in your bedding, leading to roughness or pilling over time. 5. Rotate your bedding frequently: Even with proper care, all materials wear out eventually so rotate different sets of sheets regularly so you won't get too attached to just one set! By following these simple tips, you'll enjoy a better night's sleep on softer and comfier cotton beddings!

How cotton bedding benefits us?

Cotton bedding 3 tog duvet has numerous benefits that go beyond just providing a comfortable sleeping experience. For starters, cotton is a natural and breathable fabric that allows for proper air circulation, which helps to regulate body temperature during sleep. Additionally, cotton bedding is hypoallergenic and does not irritate the skin, making it an ideal choice for those with sensitive skin or allergies. It also absorbs moisture well, which can help prevent bacteria growth and keep your bed fresh. Another benefit of cotton bedding is its durability and longevity. Good quality cotton sheets can withstand frequent washing without losing their softness or color vibrancy. This makes them a cost-effective investment in the long run. Moreover, buying cotton bedding supports sustainable agriculture as it encourages farmers to grow more organic crops instead of using harmful chemicals and pesticides on their farms. There are many reasons why choosing cotton bedding is beneficial for our health, comfort and environment.

Conclusion

Cotton bedding is a fantastic investment for a comfortable and healthy night's sleep. It is easy to care for if you follow these simple tips. Remember to clean your bedding regularly, store it correctly, and make it more comfortable by using fabric softeners or dryer balls. Cotton bedding has numerous benefits such as being hypoallergenic, durable, breathable and eco-friendly. Additionally, when looking for duvet covers or duvet sets online, consider searching with relevant keywords such as cot bed duvet, 3 tog duvet for summer use, baby's cot duvet or even a 15 tog winter-weighted blanket depending on your needs. Investing in good quality cotton bedding not only promotes restful sleep but also contributes towards sustainable living.

Robes Gold Coast - A Guide to Buying Bridesmaid Robes

It's no secret that your wedding party will look stunning in their getting-ready photos (and that you'll want to 'gram them often). But that's not the only reason bridesmaid robes are a must-have for your crew.

When selecting the perfect robe, consider your needs and budget. You'll also want to choose a fabric that works for you--flannel is best for cooler temperatures, while linen and lightweight knits work well out of the shower.

Material

The type of fabric used in robes Gold coast is a major consideration when it comes to comfort, absorbency and weight. There are many different options available, from classic cotton to luxurious cashmere.

Fleece robes are a popular choice because of their insulating qualities and softness. They are also affordable, machine-washable and can be easily dried.

Cotton waffle robes are another common option, although they tend to shrink when not washed properly. They can be pre-shrunk to avoid this issue.

Microfiber is a softer, more breathable alternative to cotton. It can be woven into a suede finish or split into millions of tiny loops for superior water absorption and softness.

It is often manufactured with a brushed microfiber outer shell and a cotton terry inner liner. This combination offers a stylish, sophisticated look with all the water absorbency and softness of cotton terry. The lightweight material is suitable for both after-shower use and lounge wear, making it a popular choice in spas and hotels.

Design

Robes Gold coast come in a variety of different fabrics. Some are made from plush fleece or sherpa, while others are crafted from linen and breathable jersey cotton.

Whether you’re shopping for yourself or as a gift, it’s important to consider the feel and absorbency of the fabric. The type of robe you choose will impact how warm or cool it feels and if it will keep you comfortable while lounging in it.

A robe’s design is also important. If you’re looking for something that will last, make sure to find a high-quality one that is well-made and easy to care for. A robe that’s machine washable is ideal, as is a fabric that will hold up to wear and tear.

Length

Robes Gold coast can come in a variety of styles and fabrics, ranging from cotton terry to velvet. Each material type has its strengths and weaknesses, so it's important to know the benefits of each before making your purchase.

For example, cotton terry has great water absorption qualities but can get heavy and thick if it absorbs too much water. If you prefer a lightweight fabric, go for linen or a blend of cotton and polyester.

Velvet robes are soft, light, and breathable; they also have a nice sheen. They can be a little pricey, but they're worth it for the comfort.

Cashmere is a very luxurious fabric, but it's one of the most expensive ones on the market. It's a good choice for special occasions, such as a honeymoon or spa day.

Chenille is another popular fabric that has seen a boost in popularity in the past few years. However, it's not the best fabric for warmth because it lacks water absorption and can lose its shape after several washes.

Care

The care taken with robes Gold coast is not just about keeping them clean, but also about maintaining their quality and texture. This is especially true of bathrobes that are designed for special occasions, like weddings or spa days.

For starters, you should always take note of the care instructions that the manufacturer provides with your robe. These are usually printed on the label and include things such as the best way to wash, dry, and store the robe.

Cotton robes are easy to keep clean, thanks to their durability and absorbency. They can be washed in your normal machine and are often labelled as “hand wash only.” Be sure to use cool water, and don’t add fabric softener.

Silk robes require a little more attention, but they can also be washed in your machine and are sometimes labelled as “hand wash only.” Avoid using bleach on them because it can damage the fabric over time.

Choosing the Best Polo Shirts for Golf

When it comes to golf attire, choosing the right shirt can make a big difference in both your comfort and your performance on the course. Polo shirts are a popular choice for golfers, as they provide a classic, stylish look while also being comfortable and breathable. If you're looking to stock up on polo shirts for golf, there are a few things to consider.

First and foremost, you'll want to think about the material of the polo shirts you're considering. Look for fabrics that are moisture-wicking and breathable, such as polyester or a blend of polyester and spandex. These materials will help keep you cool and dry, even on hot, humid days on the course.

Another important factor to consider is the fit of the polo shirts. Look for shirts that are designed specifically for golf, with features such as a longer back hem and a looser fit in the shoulders and arms to allow for a full range of motion during your swing. Avoid shirts that are too tight or too loose, as either can be uncomfortable and distracting on the course.

When shopping for polo shirts for golf, you may want to consider buying in bulk to save money. Many retailers offer polo shirts wholesale, allowing you to purchase multiple shirts at a discounted price. If you prefer a specific brand or style of polo shirt, you may also want to consider buying blank polo shirts and having them embroidered or screen printed with your logo or design of choice.

Finally, don't forget to consider the color and style of the polo shirts you're considering. While classic colors like white, navy, and black are always popular choices, you may also want to consider brighter colors or patterns to add a bit of personality to your golf attire. Just be sure to check with your club's dress code to ensure that your chosen polo shirts are acceptable on the course.

In conclusion, when choosing polo shirts for golf, look for moisture-wicking and breathable fabrics, a comfortable and golf-specific fit, and consider buying in bulk or opting for blank shirts for customization. With the right polo shirts in your golf wardrobe, you'll not only look stylish on the course, but you'll also be comfortable and able to perform your best.

Top 3 Features You Should Look for in Yoga Pants and Active Wear

With so many options for yoga pants and active wear out there it can be a little overwhelming to pick the right pair for you. Here are the 3 most important aspects of yoga pants that you should think about when choosing what to buy.

#1: Choosing the right fabric.

There are so many types of fabrics to choose from, how do you pick the one that is best for you? First it is important to know the options. There are many different synthetic fabrics as well as a great selection of natural eco-friendly ones. So first off you need to decide if you want to wear synthetics that may contain nasty chemicals or if you want to go the natural fabric route.

The benefit of the natural fabrics is that you know that you are getting a product made in a way that limits the use of harmful chemicals and leaves less impact on the environment. Synthetics like polyester, nylon and rayon, or anything that is wrinkle resistant are loaded with chemicals. The chemicals used in synthetic clothing have been linked to health problems including cancer, immune system damage, behavioral problems and hormone disruption. So I personally try to avoid these, I have enough problems without them!

One of the best natural fabrics for yoga pants is Bamboo. Bamboo is very eco friendly to produce. It requires no chemical or irrigation. Bamboo is a very comfortable fabric. It is breathable and acts as a thermal regulator as well. It will keep you warmer when it is cold and cooler when you are hot. This makes it great for active wear and yoga pants. Bamboo also is absorbent and will help keep you dry during your workout. Another wonderful thing about Bamboo is that is has antimicrobial properties. This means that it naturally is resistant to bacteria growth which can cause body odor. This is definitely a plus in work out clothing.

Organic Cotton is another great fabric for yoga pants. Cotton is comfortable, breathable and lightweight. When grown organically it is also great for the environment. Just make sure it is organic.

Hemp is a fabric that is gaining popularity as an eco-friendly fabric as well. It is easy to grow and renewable. Hemp makes a very durable fabric that will hold up to the toughest workout. Hemp is very similar to linen in texture and when mixed with other eco-friendly fibers it makes a soft, stretchy, durable fabric.

#2: Finding Your Style.

There are many different styles of yoga pants out there. From full length to capris and shorts deciding what type is best for you can be daunting. First think about the style of yoga you are doing. Do you prefer Hot Yoga or Bikram where you are in a hot room and sweating a lot? Or are you more of a Kundalini yogi, where you concentrate more of breathing with your movements? Choose your style based on how you practice and what the temperatures are like. I know that I get cold easily so I prefer long yoga pants and layers as well. Once I am warmed up I can take off my shrug, but as I cool down in Corpse Pose I like to be able to layer back up.

There are also different fits to the yoga pants as well. The pants with a roll-down waist that can be adjusted to sit any place on your waist or hip are great for versatility, while more legging style pants are nice because they stay in place. The shorts and skorts are great when doing hot yoga, while capris work nicely on those in between days.

#3: Cost versus Quality.

Unfortunately, nothing in life is free, so money is sometimes a factor in choosing the right product. To me, quality is very important. If it isn't made well it isn't worth it. So keep that in mind when you are looking at yoga pants. You usually get what you pay for. I'm not saying that the less expensive ones are cheaply made but check the quality before you buy it. If the material stretches out or falls apart after only a few uses and you have to replace that $20 pair of pants 3-4 times a year, it might be worth your while to get the $60 pair and be able to use them for several years. This is also better for the environment, as you are throwing away fewer items.
