ETHICAL PYJAMAS from CUBUS

ETHICAL PYJAMAS FROM CUBUS' NEW SUSTAINABILITY EFFORTS

Picture
I needed some new pyjamas (as my old ones couldn't be saved anymore) and came over this cute little set, that’s part of CUBUS' sustainability effort.
I love that their pants are long enough for my 182cm/almost 6 feet body, which was the reason why I started looking at their pyjama selection in the first place. Also, that I'd heard that Cubus was trying to become nr.1 in sustainable fashion in Scandinavia.

​These pyjamas are sustainable, ethical, comfortable, cute, and fit me great. These constellation print pants are elastic so they’re comfortable to wear for my curves. The only thing that would improve them, was if the top also had the same print as the bottom. Other than that last thing, they check all the boxes for me.

They also come with a sleep mask. I don't use mine, so it's a bit wasteful if you're not into that.

Here’s the other pyjamas I got. Also from Cubus and a part of their sustainability effort.
These bottoms aren’t elastic, but they are long enough for me and actually still fit comfortably so I can move freely. I usually only go for elastic pants because of my curvy shape, but these had a wide enough fit and felt pretty much the same as the elastic ones actually. Also, even though I usually prefer the top to match the bottoms, I really like this plaid and grey combo. ​
Picture
In conclusion! I love them both equally and have pretty much lived in them since I got them. I'm especially obsessed with the fact that they are sustainable and ethical, and that's why I have chosen to write about them on my page.

Text on first image: Wohoo! You found me. I'm part of Cubus' sustainability efforts. Let's be awesome together. 
Text on second image: You'll love me because: Together we go beyond the fabric. More cotton, less wasted water, fewer chemicals and happier farming communities. We partner with The Better Cotton Initiative to improve cotton farming globally. That's fashion of our time.

My cat Friday, really likes my new sustainable and ethical pyjamas too. A little too much perhaps?

To sum it up, it’s sustainable, ethical, comfortable, cute, cozy, and fit me great. None of them shrink when washed either, which is important. ​
​This is not an add, I paid for these! ​

The whole concept of body shapes completely ignores the size and shape of head ,as well as length of the neck. A very short neck or a very huge head plus shape of the face can change the entire rules of dressing for any body type.

Hi, Shilpa! Thank you for your comment.🙂 Face shape and neck length does affect how you best dress for your body type. However, the body types rules doesn’t disregard this, it just doesn’t cover it. Sometimes you have to break things into groups for it to be more easy to grasp. Everything about you determines what your best look is, but information is better when you don’t cover to much at once. Proffesional stylist and designers are all aware of this, but when you try to inform people who don’t have previous knowledge of this, you have to break it up into pieces. Then once you understand the separate groups, you can use it all together. If you want to know more about face shapes, you can look at the face shape overview once it’s finished. There’s not a lot of info for public view there at the moment. So, what you’re reffering to will be a part of that section.
Not sure why you commented about face shapes and body types under this particular post about ethical pyjamas, but that’s ok. 🙃
To sum it up! Ideally, everyone would use their face shape, neck length, shoulder angle, hair type, upper to lower body ratio, feet size and shape, and colouring, and so on to calculate their absolute best look. Again, a proffesional takes all these things into consideration, but it’s too much information to put into one post or one system. Trust me! I have way to often had people tell me they don’t understand what I’m talking about if I go to broad and make it to complicated.😆 So, I’ve learned that baby steps is better when you want to teach something to others.
I hope this clarified things 😊 about why the face shapes and neck shape is not a part of the body types post.

Xxx, Sun.
