Why Is Bamboo Workwear So Good For You?

Posted by Bamboo Village on 16th Feb 2016

If it's time to give your wardrobe a refresh, consider adding some key bamboo pieces to your rotation. Find out why it is the best material to wear for work.

Supremely soft, silky and luxurious to the touch – Envelop yourself in truly unparalleled comfort all day long at work. No one wants to be uncomfortable at any time of day, but when you're trying to focus and concentrate on projects, the last thing you want is ill-fitting, unpleasant clothes. Bamboo will keep you comfy and relaxed all day, every day.

Hypoallergenic - The eco-friendly bamboo fibres do not irritate the skin. Gentler than many manmade fibres, bamboo is a natural solution for those with sensitive skin. No more itching, irritability or wriggling. Your skin will be protected and you’ll have a super day at work.

Breathable and thermo-regulating – Stay comfortable whatever the weather; bamboo keeps you cool in summer and warm in winter. No matter whether the office gets too hot or too cold, whether you work indoors or outdoors, you'll always be kept at the right temperature. Not many clothes can offer that as a plus point.

More absorbent than cotton – Bamboo helps to wick moisture away from the skin. If you know the feeling of getting a little sweaty and having perspiration and moisture gracing the skin, you'll know it can make work so awkward. Bamboo gets rid of this. It'll wick away the moisture and keep you protected all day long. Goodbye perspiration.

UV protective – If you regularly work in the sun, bamboo can keep you protected from the rays of the sun with its UV protective qualities.

Biodegradable – A greener material that will simply return to the Earth, you can relax in the knowledge that when you refresh your wardrobe again a few years down the line, your clothes will simply go back into nature.

Eco-friendly and sustainable - Since bamboo requires no chemicals and very little water to grow, it is an environmental wonder-plant. As if this were not enough, bamboo absorbs more carbon dioxide from the air than either cotton or timber. Once harvested, bamboo can replenish itself within a year and some species grow a whopping 120cm per day! It is a naturally prolific and resilient plant, which does not need fertilisers to boost its growth, or pesticides since bamboo is naturally pest-resistant. This marks it out from cotton or timber, which needs to be replanted at every harvest and requires extensive spraying and watering to achieve optimal growth.
