Frequently asked questions.

What is Topshop clothing made of?

Based on our analysis of 50 Topshop products, the average garment is 59.9% natural fibre. The most common single fibre is Cotton (in 52% of products). The remaining material is typically synthetic — polyester, polyamide, or acrylic.

Is Topshop cotton?

Sometimes — cotton appears in 52% of the 50 Topshop products we analyzed, but it's usually blended with synthetics. Only 46% of items are nearly all-natural (95%+ natural fibre), so check the composition before assuming a piece is pure cotton.

Is Topshop 100% cotton?

Some pieces are. Of the 50 Topshop products we analyzed, 23 are 100% cotton (or near-pure, 95%+) — that's 46.0% of the catalog. The rest are blends.

How much polyester does Topshop use?

26% of Topshop products are polyester-heavy, meaning polyester makes up 50% or more of the garment. This is below average for fast fashion retailers.

Is Topshop mostly synthetic?

26% of Topshop products are polyester-heavy (50%+ polyester). Average natural fibre content is 59.9%, so the rest of the catalog is mixed.

Does Topshop use natural fabrics?

46% of Topshop products are nearly all-natural (95%+ natural fibre). A decent portion of their range avoids synthetic fibres entirely.

Is Topshop sustainable in terms of fabric?

Fabric composition is one factor in sustainability. With an average of 59.9% natural fibre, Topshop is about average on this measure. Natural fibres generally biodegrade and shed fewer microplastics than synthetics.

Methodology: We analyzed 50 Topshopproduct pages, extracting the fabric composition listed by the retailer. Products are categorized by name keywords. Natural fibre percentage is the sum of all natural fibres (cotton, linen, silk, wool, viscose, lyocell, etc.) in each product's composition. Data is refreshed monthly.
