Am I being too harsh on synthetic fabrics?

[CountessVonBoobs]

In the last year or so, I've been focusing on buying fewer, nicer pieces of clothing and predominantly looking for well-cut, more minimalist, interestingly shaped pieces of clothing in natural fabrics. It's going OK, I guess, but I can't help but notice a lot of expensive clothing is still synthetic. I associate synthetic fabrics with shiny/sweaty/smelly on the whole.

Example: I like this top at Wolf & Badger, but it's acetate/viscose: www.wolfandbadger.com/uk/clarice-white-flute-sleeve-blouse/

Am I being too restrictive in shying away from synthetics? I do 95% of my clothes shopping online so can't see how it feels in real life. Should I give this top a try? Any tips for what to look out for to prevent the nasty-synthetics feeling?

maybe?

I've recently started buying from this shop online. www.twothirds.com

A lot of their tops are 100% cotton and so far, I'm very happy with the quality

I don't mind a small element of synthetic, let's say up to around 25% of the fabric, as it can help it to hang better and (being lazy) easier to iron. What I don't like is 100% polyester and neither do my armpits. It was partly why I stopped buying Whistles, although they're not the only culprits.

But on the other hand, some cheap cottons, linens, silks and cashmere can be absolutely shit too, plus I've read some troubling things about overproduction of cotton and cashmere.

So I don't find it as straightforward as natural = good, synthetic = bad.

Wow, ellllllle, that is a beautiful top, but I must admit that, even though I'm down with paying more than high-st prices, £300+ was a bit higher than I was going for...
