My take on comfort is a pair of stretchy jeans, a t-shirt, and an oversized sweater. I love having the extra mobility in my clothing which is the combination of 100% cotton and a hint of spandex. One of my favourite things to wear is a t-shirt, but not just any kind, it has to be cotton. I love the softness and comfortability of cotton. Nowadays, I find it rare to find pieces that are pure cotton, most are mixed with man-made fibres. It's just not the same! There are pieces that are well made, but they do come with a heavy price tag. Anything over $100 for a t-shirt is definitely a "nay" to me and out of my budget. I love looking for sales and I would do whatever it takes to get the best price for my basic fashion finds.
My top 3 store suggestions
- American Apparel, all American Cotton and manufacturing
- Winners, all you need is a little patience to find the best Winners has to offer
- Walmart, (because Target hasn't officially launched their stores yet in Toronto)

I'm glad I'm not alone in my search of clothing that is 100% natural fibers. It can be a struggle at times. I generally don't like blends as many synthetic materials just don't breathe the same!
If loose is a look you like, try the Mens section. Generally what I've noticed is a Mens clothing is typically 100% cotton in regards to T-Shirts. I think guys are typically more drawn to comfort than most women!
Some great affordable finds can be found at H&M as a result.
Also, tho sometimes annoying is just checking the labels. Zara has a lot of synthetic blends, but I've also stumbled across items that are 100% cotton or silk. And since sales occur often at Zara, just waiting for an item is a good idea!
Hi Melissa,
Thank you for sharing your love for cotton and natural fibres, and YES you are not alone! H&M and Zara are definitely great stores to find your fashion basics in; and the most exciting of it all is FINDING IT AT A SALE PRICE! I also have to try and make time to visit the menswear department more often, because I have found several functional pieces in menswear that seem to last forever.
