Frequently Asked Questions
What is soft cotton fabric?
Soft cotton is a high-thread-count or pre-washed cotton with a significantly softer hand-feel than standard cotton. It's gentle on sensitive skin, breathes well, and maintains its softness wash after wash. Ideal for daily wear in India's warm climate.
Is cotton better than synthetic fabric for Indian summers?
Yes, significantly. Cotton is a natural fibre that breathes and absorbs moisture, whereas synthetic fabrics trap heat and feel uncomfortable in Indian humidity. Soft cotton is one of the most comfortable choices for warm weather daily wear.
How do I care for soft cotton clothing?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water. Tumble dry low or lay flat to dry. Iron on medium heat. Avoid bleach. Pre-washed soft cotton resists shrinkage — but always wash cold to be safe.
Does cotton wrinkle easily?
Cotton wrinkles more than synthetic fabrics but less than linen. If wrinkles bother you, iron while slightly damp for a clean finish — or embrace the relaxed, lived-in look that's very much in fashion.
