Cotton is one of the most beloved fabrics in the world — soft, breathable, and effortlessly stylish. But there's one question that keeps coming up every time you do laundry: Does cotton shrink?

The short answer is yes — cotton shirts can shrink if not treated properly. Yet with the right craftsmanship and fabric innovation, this age-old problem can be solved. That's where Fioboc's CozySpacer Cotton Series comes in — redefining what comfort, quality, and durability truly mean for everyday wear.

Yes! Cotton is a natural fabric that reacts to heat and moisture. When washed in hot water or tumble dried at high temperatures, the fibers tighten and shorten, causing your cotton shirts to shrink.

While many shirts lose shape after just a few washes, premium cotton can maintain both its texture and fit — if it's designed right from the start.

That's why the key isn't avoiding cotton altogether, but choosing the right kind of cotton shirts — one made to resist shrinkage, stay soft, and last for years.

Even high-quality cotton shirts can shrink if cared for incorrectly. Here are a few habits to avoid:

1. Using hot water — it breaks down the fibers faster.
2. High heat in the dryer — tumble drying on hot is the number one cause of shrinkage.
3. Overwashing — cotton shirts don't need to be washed after every wear.
4. Skipping fabric relaxation — soaking cotton briefly in cold water before washing can reduce shrinkage.

💡 Pro tip: Wash your cotton shirts inside out, in cold water, and hang them to air dry. This keeps both the fabric and the color looking new.

If your favorite cotton shirt has already shrunken, don't panic — there's a trick.

You can try to loosen the fibers by soaking the shirt in lukewarm water with a bit of baby shampoo or conditioner. After 30 minutes, gently stretch it back into shape while it's still damp and lay it flat to dry. While it may not return 100% to its original size, this method often restores a comfortable fit.

Traditional cotton shirts often feel too thin for fall or too heavy for summer. But CozySpacer's mid-weight design hits the sweet spot — breathable enough for warmer days, cozy enough for cooler evenings.

This top can be worn with jeans, chinos, or joggers, and it looks great whether you're working from home, running chores, or meeting friends for coffee. 

Think of it as your "lazy-day luxury” — comfortable enough to relax in, refined enough to wear anywhere.

To keep your CozySpacer shirt in top shape, just follow these simple care steps:

1. Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle.
2. Wash with similar colors to protect the tone.
3. Tumble dry on low or lay flat to dry. — avoid high heat.
4. Do not bleach.

With proper care, your Fioboc CozySpacer cotton shirt will maintain its softness, structure, and color for years to come.
