I mean yeah with increased demand, people giving into “trends” more and more, spread of online shopping and quantity over quality- all of these mixed together and you end up with cheap fast fashion that repeats itself, doesn’t last long, and fabric that usually loses its shiny upon the first wash

is it just me or has clothing quality fucking TANKED recently? like there is no point in shopping at F21, H&M, Hot Topic, (basically anywhere at the mall) etc. anymore. you can legit get better styles and quality from fucking shein

walmart and target have actually good lasting clothes but also they have no style. like i cannot find anything remotely unique or stylish. (their cargo pants are okay. but they are barely even really cargo pants they still play all their fashion "safe")

i've been trying to shop indie brands but still its super expensive and their quality has tanked too ngl :/

#I can go deeper abt this too kinda Jdjfjf #my father was in the textile business so ik a thing or two #majority of my clothing are things from his job or things mom got but never even opened the packs of and when I tell you they look BRAND NEW #and like some of these items should be at least 20 years old #you just cannot find a fully linen item these days unless you go for a big brand and spend sm money and even then… it’s usually like 60%#linen if you’re LUCKY. fully cotton is a luxury too. I won’t even get into cashmere which is sad bc my go to pants for winter is made of #cashmere and I just cannot imagine wearing anything other than those now #and on top of it EVERHTHING has got polyester in it and do you know what it does?? irritates the skin. causes acne breakdowns or can trigger #small scale atopy or urticers- or worse- allergies.#so yeah thrift if you can. if you want durable things go for organic mats like for boots and bags leather. because trust me thrifted leather #is more vegan than that pleather bs because it’s essentially plastic and gets fucked in 1-2 years. never misses.#linen is good for hot weathers. cotton is gentle on the skin. it goes on and sometimes certain fabrics can be favored depending on your #region (ie: linen in Mediterraneans for a basic example) so look into that as well. also tailored clothes>>>> again fits you better and its #Made For You
