Pet Hair-Resistant Clothing and Fabrics

I’m sharing some of the best fabrics and specific clothing and home items I’ve found that have been either completely pet-hair resistant or extremely low-maintenance. Translation: no lint roller required. And everything is washable!

Watch my complete review:

All of the items mentioned are from Amazon ~ this is not sponsored ~ these are just items that have worked well for me and that I’d recommend to other pet lovers!

While this post only includes items from the women’s clothing section, if you’d like a follow-up with items for men or from other companies – let me know. And if you have item recommendations, please share those in the comments!

This post is dedicated to my two extremely-beloved kitties, Sascha and Humphrey.

My kitties were quite the cuddlers – and that always took precedence over what I wore, which meant I often wore “nice” clothes out and about – and really gross stuff at home. Even before the pandemic kept us all indoors, I got tired of looking like a bum at home – being embarrassed if I needed to answer the door, or putting off going out because I’d have to get dressed again. I’m also not willing to invest a lot of time and effort into using a lint roller or picking cat or dog hair off of my clothes.

Best Fabrics

While really smooth materials like leather or fluffy things like faux fur don’t collect hair, I’m mainly focusing on comfy, stretchy, knit or woven fabrics (especially for tops).

For clothing, 100% modal has been the most reliable and easy to find – it’s soft, comfortable, and fantastic for not holding onto fur.

I also really love bamboo – it feels and performs similarly-great.

100% wool has also worked very well for me.

In general, 100% of any natural fiber has tended to be good – but it’s been hit or miss with blends, even when it’s just 5% of a synthetic or a blend of two natural fibers. Some synthetics work well – but I’m skipping those because they’ve been inconsistent for me.

I do have a few newer pieces in 100% cotton and 100% linen that have been no problem with short-haired dog fur. For cat hair, I mainly have tested those materials with bedding (and they’ve worked great).

Silk would probably be good for fur, but I don’t think I’d trust it for claws, especially given its high price point (even for thrifted items) – and even washable silk is generally too high-maintenance for me.

Heathered colors (and patterns) are better at hiding fur (but I don’t really want to just hide it because it rubs off onto other things, especially in the wash, and then you gotta get that lint roller back out).  

25 Top Clothing Picks

Over the past year, I built a pet-friendly capsule wardrobe using many of these pieces – it’s saved me a lot of time, energy, and stress. Best of all, I didn’t have to worry about my clothing getting messy or damaged from loving my pets well.

As I mentioned above, everything in this post is from Amazon. While I try to thrift as many purchases as possible (for affordability, sustainability, and uniqueness), I do find Amazon the easiest and most reliable place to shop when I need to meet specific needs, such as pet hair performance.

Their prices fluctuate, but as of this posting, all of the clothing sells for $52 or much less. And all of the items, even the velvet curtains, are washable! A couple of items recommend hand- instead of machine-washing – I’ll note those below.

Sustainability has become more of a concern for me since buying some of these pieces. Though I don’t know the business practices of the manufacturers, these are good-quality items that have lasted well, even with quite heavy wear for some.

Now, did I ever see a hair on these items? At least for some, yes – but even after cuddling with Sascha, I could quickly brush the little that was there off with my hand, and things always came completely clean in the wash.

For reference, I’m about 5’ 6½” (169 cm), my weight is usually around 123-125 lbs (56 kg), and I have a long torso.

And while I hope this is not the case ~ if you’re dealing with the loss of a pet or another loved one and looking for a very special way to memorialize them, I’d really recommend Sugarberry Memorials. Kayce makes a variety of beautiful jewelry and other items; the ring I’m wearing on my right hand in the video was made for Sascha and it brings me comfort to wear. Kayce is an extremely caring, thorough, and expert artisan.

Wishing you a great day, full of cuddles with your furry family!
