Is Your Clothing Affecting Your Health? | Synthetic Fibers & Wellness | The Fashion Lens 📱

👗 Could what you're wearing be affecting your health? 👀 Polyester, nylon, acrylic, spandex. Synthetic fibers are EVERYWHERE! From our everyday clothing and activewear to underwear, pajamas, and even luxury fashion, we're surrounded by fabrics made from petroleum-based materials. But what does that mean for our bodies, our skin, and our overall wellness? Tonight on The Fashion Lens, Gwendolyn Houston-Jack and Dr. Tachi are taking a closer look at the relationship between synthetic fibers, fashion, and wellness. We're exploring: 🧵 Why synthetic fabrics have become so dominant in fashion, from fast fashion to luxury. 🧵 How different fabrics affect breathability, moisture management, comfort, and skin sensitivity. 🧵 What research tells us, and what remains uncertain, about microplastics, textile chemicals, and potential health concerns. 🧵 The difference between natural and synthetic fibers. Are cotton, linen, wool, and silk always better choices? 🧵 What happens when our clothing sheds microfibers into the environment. 🧵 How to read clothing labels and make more informed choices about what we wear. And of course, we'll talk about the BUSINESS of fashion. Are brands prioritizing lower production costs over fabric quality? Are consumers paying more for clothing made with cheaper materials? And is it time to rethink what's really in our closets? This isn't about fear. It's about asking questions, examining the evidence, and understanding the relationship between what we wear and how we live. 📅 TONIGHT • Thursday, October 22 ⏰ 7 PM ET / 6 PM CT 📺 LIVE on YouTube: @grhoustonjack & @dr_tachi Lens Collective, we want to hear from YOU!
