Content creator @julietteliberty96 shared the video to show her followers where they can find affordable 100% cotton clothing.

According to clothing experts at Pomp, cotton clothing comes with several benefits. Cotton is kind on the skin, warm, cosy, soft, and breathable, making it comfortable to wear. It's also a natural fabric that can be sustainably produced, especially if it's certified organic cotton, which uses less water and fewer pesticides than regular cotton.

Cotton is also affordable when compared with other natural fabrics like wool, silk, and hemp, which makes it accessible to most buyers. The quality of the cotton matters, though, as better cotton with longer fibres will feel softer, last longer, and be more sustainable overall.
