It can be oh-so-tempting to put on that brand-new dress that just arrived this morning. After all, you ordered it weeks ago and had to wait for shipping. But before you unpack the garment and slip it on, we strongly suggest giving it a rinse. 

Even if the item appears completely new and sparkling clean, there are many things hiding in the fabric that the naked eye isn’t able to see. 

The first reason you should put your clothes in the wash is because of a type of eczema known as contact dermatitis. Some of the harsh chemicals and dyes used on clothing can cause this, resulting in an itchy rash. A 25-minute wash on a hot cycle should remove all those extras so you can avoid any type of reaction.

Depending on what you’ve ordered, there’s also the chance that other people have tried on the garments first. Those people carry their own set of germs which then transfer onto the clothes. Studies have been done which show a host of viruses and bacteria lurking on the material.

Although the chance of getting sick from such items is fairly low, it’s still a chance not worth taking, particularly if you have sensitive skin or a compromised immune system. 

So, throw your new top or pair of jeans in the wash, blast it with hot water, and you’re good to go!

While we love to experiment with trends, there’s something about the classic simplicity of Parisian style that most fashion fads just can’t compete with. Parisian fashion is all about creating a foundation of chic, timeless pieces and using accessories to add a touch of color and fun. If this is a style that appeals to you, know that you don’t actually have to go to France to get the look for yourself. Some of the most popular Parisian brands now ship worldwide, so you can look like you’ve just stepped off The Champs-Élysées no matter where you live. 

Rouje

Rouje was created in 2016 by actress and style icon Jeanne Damas. Known for its feminine vintage-inspired clothing, the brand has become a go-to for many celebrities and style influencers. We especially love their sundresses, denim, and silk blouses for a touch of Parisian chic.

Sézane

Since 2013, Sézane has offered high-quality knits, blouses, and basics made with ethically-sourced fabrics. The brand puts a great deal of focus on sustainability while keeping elements of classic French style at the heart of each collection. Their sweaters and striped marinière shirts are perfect for everything from a morning at the cafe to an evening out with friends.

Gaâla

As a family-run business, Gaâla is another brand with a mission to merge style and sustainability. Their pieces are beautiful, timeless, and made almost entirely using deadstock fabrics. Check them out for everything from cocktail dresses to outerwear.
