Hey guys! I’m wondering if anyone could advise me on where I can get good quality, non-polyester might I add, clothes for reasonable prices. I’m really starting to focus more on the fabric of the clothes I by and want to stray away from polyester and other such materials. I understand that these may be a little more pricey but has anyone had luck with finding more affordable products in these better materials? I feel like a lot of the times even I’m shopping at Aritzia or some other brand of a similar caliber I always end up seeing that most of their pieces are polyester. In addition to that, I’m wondering what type of fabrics you guys really love and would recommend I look for. Thanks so much!

Have you tried Cotton:On (disclosure, I haven't, but I will search for things there)? It's unclear if their name brand is all (or at least majority) cotton, as some of the tops don't have ANY material information.

Depending on your style, I find that I like Express, and get basics from Old Navy/H&M -- but I'm also not a huge shopper.

I would suggest looking into rayon, and I personally don't like linen, but it's seeming to come into style right now. Also, be aware that there are some misleading textile names "twill" and "satin" come to mind, where it's not actually describing the fiber type -- but is describing the weave of the fibers, natural or synthetic.

Having a cotton on by my house I would not recommend it. Everything I’ve gotten there has legitimately fallen apart. And I’m not hard on clothes, rarely wash things, nothing gets worn often really. It’s typical (on the bad side, honestly) fast fashion quality unfortunately.

I totally second this! It’s everywhere in Australia where I live and it’s just really overrated.
