A while ago I realized that I feel like a different person when I wear 100% cotton tops. I'm sensory plus I get overheated, so no wool, no polyester, no acrylic, no nothing accept cotton.

(Linen is fine too, sometimes rayon, but cotton majority of the time)

During winter season, it's so hard to find 100% cotton tops. Most sweaters are made with some of the fabrics I mentioned above. I'm going from site to site, finding cute stuff, but most aren't cotton.

Anyone out there in the same boat? Have any tips?

Can you sew? It's really not hard and like that you can use the materials you want.

Never thought of that! But won't work for me. I work full time plus many nights.

This is one reason why I buy so many clothes secondhand.

Is wool okay for you? Would high quality wool with a cotton shell be comfortable?

I find if I wear a long sleeve, high neck cotton t shirt, I can put other stuff on top without going crazy.

have you tried (real) silk?
professional and breathable.

you could also look into combed cotton and/or flannel for more wintery cotton materials

Most banana Republic basic crewneck sweaters are comfortable and pretty.

How do you do with shells, soft modal or the cotton ones?
I wear a fresh shell each day with awesome open front cardigans for a great office look. (Mostly black neat looking crew neck shell and black stretch pencil skirt. I am particularly partial to knee length cardigans, though I have all types.)
