I was dressed for work today in my royal blue slacks from The Limited which advertise themselves as 'Exact Stretch' because of their Chinese made content of 77% viscose, 20% nylon, and 3% spandex. Viscose is a semi-synthetic fiber made from wood pulp which means is it a natural based product while nylon and spandex are fully synthetic or chemically developed products.
My long sleeve grey and black Perfect Tee also from The Limited was made in the Philippines and it consists of 59% rayon, 36% polyester, and 5% spandex. Rayon is the natural based product in my shirt, while both polyester and spandex are chemically created.
I completed my outfit with Lulu Shimmersuede FitFlops due to the warm weather today. These shoes are made in Vietnam and have a microfiber lined faux leather strap across the top with a rubber based synthetic sole.
When I get a chill in the office, I put on my rather sporty Bucks hooded sweatshirt from GIII Apparel Group which is manufactured in China. This sweatshirt is a 60% cotton, 40% polyester blend which makes it breathe more easily than the other fabrics. Cotton is naturally occurring and grown while polyester is synthetic.
