Frequently Asked Questions
What is ASOS clothing made of?
Based on our analysis of 8,629 ASOS products, the average garment is 35.1% natural fibre. The most common single fibre is Polyester (in 54.2% of products). The remaining material is typically synthetic — polyester, polyamide, or acrylic.
Is ASOS cotton?
Sometimes — cotton appears in 33% of the 8,629 ASOS products we analyzed, but it's usually blended with synthetics. Only 25.4% of items are nearly all-natural (95%+ natural fibre), so check the composition before assuming a piece is pure cotton.
Is ASOS 100% cotton?
Effectively no. We didn't find any ASOS products that are 100% cotton (or near-pure, 95%+) in our database. Cotton at ASOS is almost always blended with elastane, polyester, or other fibres.
How much polyester does ASOS use?
48.2% of ASOS products are polyester-heavy, meaning polyester makes up 50% or more of the garment. This is above average for fast fashion retailers.
Is ASOS mostly synthetic?
48.2% of ASOS products are polyester-heavy (50%+ polyester). Average natural fibre content is 35.1%, so the rest of the catalog is still leaning synthetic in most cases.
Does ASOS use natural fabrics?
25.4% of ASOS products are nearly all-natural (95%+ natural fibre). Only a small fraction of their range avoids synthetic fibres entirely.
Is ASOS sustainable in terms of fabric?
Fabric composition is one factor in sustainability. With an average of 35.1% natural fibre, ASOS is below average on this measure. Natural fibres generally biodegrade and shed fewer microplastics than synthetics.
