The Natural Fiber Capsule Checklist

Building a natural fiber wardrobe may feel overwhelming at first, or maybe it's exciting for you - the key is taking one step at a time, so you can slowly create a functional and beautiful wardrobe that's affordable and feels like you (especially because it's long-lasting fibers and not based on trendy styles).

Learn of the different natural fiber options 

One of the first steps is learning about what natural fibers are - it can be confusing as you're starting out (and even for many who've worn natural fibers for years), so we created The Natural Fiber Guide that can help you make the best choices for you and your family and that you can always refer back to.

Take inventory of your current wardrobe

Start by reviewing what you already own. Decide which pieces you want to keep, donate, or sell. Focus on keeping items made from natural fibers and timeless styles that you enjoy wearing through different seasons of life.

Think longterm - timelessness, not trends

Choose pieces that will outlast the trends. Find what styles work for you and that you feel truly comfortable in. These are your wardrobe staples, the foundational pieces that you can work with each time you go to your closet.

Holistically curate your closet

Don’t think of your closet as a whole bunch of individual pieces - think of it as one unit - pieces to a larger puzzle. Your items should work together, with a cohesive color palette, build off one another, and make your closet more wearable with pieces you're drawn to time and time again. Choose colors that go with your skin tone, eyes, and hair color - don't follow trends, follow your own coloring. 

Buy slowly 

Let your wardrobe be a peaceful process. You don’t need to buy everything at once—instead you can slowly build as your budget allows and as you find the right pieces, using your chosen color palette, and also seeing what gaps you need to fill in your wardrobe to make it more wearable. Remember it's quality over quantity. 

The Everyday Dress

You may be pining for all the gorgeous linen dresses, puffy sleeves and cinched bodices. And those have a place in your closet (I'm extremely partial to linen dresses and every floral dress, so I get it). But an easy, everyday dress is essential. I couldn't find a simple, feminine, soft and cozy dress that wasn't too frilly or frumpy - but just right, so I made one for Adorned Organics. Get an everyday dress that can take you from the garden to the kitchen, pre-pregnancy to nursing, that is both beautiful and functional. 

Foundational layers

Build in your foundational layers with cozy, breathable organic cotton layering pieces. A soft, stretchy, slim-fitting long-sleeve top gives you a lot more flexibility in pregnancy letting you change your outfits up with the layering pieces. We love our cute, white, cropped cap sleeve tee for under our linen dresses. And of course a stretchy, cozy long-sleeve wrap top for every season in earthy, neutral colors that go with every dress, makes them even more wearable in all seasons. Organic cotton layering leggings and biker shorts with comfy, stretchy waistbands are also a favorite. And finally, organic, natural fiber bralettes and briefs complete the foundational layering pieces for your natural fiber closet.
