i find it even more interesting that people are being shamed for buying fast fashion when the majority of the problem (on the consumer end) is people like that buying clothes in bulk and tossing them out at a ridiculous pace. $900 hauls for a tiktok video??? meanwhile someone could just get a few things on there that they really like and wear it for ages even if it's cheap. the latter person gets shat on when the former is the bigger problem.

My sister-in-law said I am bland/vanilla and that I don’t have a style. But those insults are dumb because a “trend” is a man-made standard that doesn’t actually exist. none of us actually NEED an aesthetic/style. Companies love to make you feel like you need to have a style, need to look a certain way, etc. they profit off our insecurities and voids. If you’re not up to date, good for you bc you’re not donating money to a void

Do you realize you’re never going to stop China from using child labor. China does whatever they want because it’s China for gods sake. If you eat fish you’re polluting if you drive a car you’re polluting, if you have a fridge, an air conditioning unit, natural gas, hairsprays, etc. Also you’re not going to stop everyone from buying Shein. Shein is the only thing some people can afford and even if they can afford better Shein has nice trendy outfits for a low price. Some of y’all love preaching about child labor and turn around and buy Nike and Samsung and other brands. Child labor is nothing new and it’s also nothing you can change by bashing people who buy from Shein instead of 100% biodegradable bamboo straw tshirts for 30$ each on Amazon. Get off your high horse, find your safe space and cope.

Clothes should be the kind of things you have to set money aside for. There are things you pay for or purchase annually, monthly, to a lesser degree weekly and daily, and emergencies. Then there are things that don't even cost that much in many cases that you need to or should replace every couple of years or decades, like for example mattresses or car tires. Clothes should be something that you spend very roughly a thousand dollars on every few years or so.

The problem with "fast fashion" is that people want to sell fashion with no authentic story, It was thrifted, it wasnt gifted, it was bought off an app and that's the problem.

Yep. Back in the day a dress would be on the runway in November of one year, in the brands boutique for purchase after Christmas/around Easter, and would trickle down into the average persons shops by the end of the year - and that's just for the most fashion forward places like the middle of NYC or Paris. If you were on the outskirts or in a different area the item wouldn't reach you until maybe a full year after its debut in the boutique. Now the dress is hot for a month and then dead because of over saturation of the item, after a month or two of everyone buying it and styling it and showing it off in hauls everyone is sick of it, because instead of each person seeing it 1-5 times a month fot 6 months, we see it 50 times a week for a month.

I am buying fast fashion, but i wear it for years. After that i might throw it away in the textile bin (yea thats a thing here) or thrift it depending on how it looks,. Atm it’s a bit of a mix and match between cheap clothes and clothes from brands like Only, Shoeby, and some random shit i find at a market at the other side of the country. Now I have my own dressing money (50€ a month which i also have to buy shoes from) I tend to look a lot more at companies like shein. I’m a beginner goth and finding thrifted goth clothing in a country that hasn’t accepted alternative clothing for eons is very hard. I only go seriously shopping twice a year after sorting my clothes looking at what i’ll wear again and what not, plus the clothing that has just unwashable stains or unfixable holes and tears. Most clothes can be thrifted or sold on my country’s version of ebay. I just wanted to say that people will still buy these clothes just because they’re affordable, and thrift them. They might not be the greatest quality but it would still last a while. (They’re not TERRIBLE quality… it could be better with shein, but also a LOT worse.)

Some don’t have other options: Some items can’t be bought from 2nd hand shop such as undergarments; Also those who are plus size or petite have more difficulties finding their size in thriftstores. The idea isn’t to avoid fast fashion at all cost but it’s to make mindful purchases and wear them until they fall apart. It’s those rich ppl/ influencers who promote the idea of fast fashion only to discard them after wearing it once despite the existence of washing machine.

A shirt might be £22 but as soon as you go into the XLs, it's £33. I can't afford that for one shirt. At Shein, that's 3-4 t shirts and maybe some trousers.

agree!! if there’s no ethical consumption under capitalism, then wouldn’t it make sense to consume less? and this isn’t all-or-nothing anyways - you can still choose to consume in ways that are more ethical while avoiding ways that are more unethical. but i doubt they actually care about how unethical capitalism is; they just want an excuse to justify their spending habits🤷♀️

When I tried to dress like every one else, I couldn't find anything in those styles that suited my body or were made for my shape to begin with. I didn't just feel invisible, I felt ugly - and I kind of wonder if 'fast fashion' stuff is really targeted at people when they are vulnerable like that. I have never loved myself more or been more confident then the day I finally decided to dress the way I've always wanted. I like to think most people eventually find that for themselves at some point. It just takes time.

I relate to that, a lot. During my teens I wanted to be a goth but my parents didnt let me. Instead, I got jeans, T-shirts and (zip-up)hoodies. It was fine. Ish. It was only when I was 25 and during my nervous breakdown that I stopped dressing as people expected me to dress. I stopped wearing jeans and I started wearing leggings, dresses and skirts instead. The last several months my style has been escalating: my wardrobe is turning towards an Edwardian silhouette/look and I am heading into romantic acedemia. People actually *see* me now. It feels frigging great and I have my goth outfits incase I want to express that side of myself. And yes, most of my wardrobe is thrifted and/or sustainable. Some of my clothes are being altered by a local tailor in order to have them fit better. It's grant and I never felt better.

Be it fashion, home decor, gaming, art, organisation... Name a hobby there's a consumerism issue. It's also not helping that the content showing large amounts of stuff does so well on TikTok (and other platforms) so the creators get encouraged to show off more and therefore infuence viewers to consume more.

My bf does resin occasionally but he’s careful & follows safety procedures. And the amount of useless trinkets people are making & throwing away when they come out bad or don’t cure properly (badly cured resin stays toxic) is contributing so much new garbage for landfills. And that’s just one craft trend, there’s soo many on TikTok, Dollar Store craft hauls have all these middle class housewives buying out the entire seasonal section of the stores (posting about what days new shipment comes in so they can buy whole boxes before they even get opened to go on shelves) to do holiday crafts & slap Cricut vinyl (also toxic) on everything, so the family’s who shop there for their actual seasonal decor get nothing. It happened all over my town the last few holidays but especially Christmas.

honestly i think it kinda connects with capitalism in a sense of divide between ‘wealthy/rich’ brands vs ‘affordable’ brands. for example if a working class person sees something from an ethical shop which are admittedly typically more expensive and often dubbed ‘for rich people’ they might be more inclined to buy from a more ‘affordable’ brand because either they can get some extra pieces for the same price or they just think that it’s more ‘’money friendly’. idk if that makes sense but it’s kinda what i thought of really quick

true. but "supposedly"(i take that with a grain of salt) shein doesn't use unethical labour. I mean Nike, forever 21, h&m, Adidas, old navy, Asos, victoria secret, gap, etc. still heavily bought and was found in violation of using sweatshops. the thing is it doesn't stop at clothes tho. Consider the fact that America companies outsource to India for example, the pay competitive rates of pay to companies in the regions, yet its still criminally low compared to what they'd pay in the states. they take advantage of the low pay in a location and subsequently also kill competition in poorer countries, making it hard for true Innovation and a country ability to gain more money and self sustain, as a whole group of people rely on a foreign company to provide. Outsourcing is heavily used by many countries to take advantage of poorer people. which also should be illegal, but then again we live in a first world nation that survives off the backs of others. if it isn't banned practice in the states then it will forever continue.

But I have to confess that I just know this is cause my mother was in charity work since my childhood beneath her real workplace and I have grown up with not so much money for a first world country that we have that kind of clothing cycle with some other families and most of my things in the childhood well not only seconds but third of fourth of fifth hand ☺️ and I was totally cool with it because I’ve got very unique closest cars they were at least five years old and very different from the fashion trends in the 90s and so I was kind of 80s ruffles and cool fashion in the 90s and felt very cool and exotic

I will also add to this: a lot of ‘alt’ tik tokkers often buy from shein and Aliexpress , hauls worth hundreds of dollars. It baffles me as the original subcultures (goth & punk for example,which they claim to be) came from diy and thrift fashion. It was all about making your own outfit and adding to it! Also actively encouraging people to buy knock off’s of for example the Strawberry dress or the house of sunny dress. Those items are sustainable and expensive because they are designer in a way. It truly baffles me how people are all against art theft and supporting small businesses until the art costs more then 20 dollars. What a wonderful video! 🌻

I love that my fellow goths harvested expensive boots from thrift stores after the e-girl/e-guy trend started dying out. Like those boots usually cost $400 or so depending on the style but the thrift shop is selling them for $50. Like??? Also, even if you're not good at sewing like me, you can still modify your clothing! Several goth and punk folks customize things with safety pins (I've collected them for a couple years now from random places), patches (you can hand draw/paint them with scrap fabric), cut and braid t-shirts (way easier than you think!!), distress tights, etc. For our alt friends who are into decora, fairy kei, various subcategories of lolita, kidcore, and other more colorful genres of fashion there are also options!! Adding lace trim to a normal article of clothing to make it cute, putting colorful buttons on things, adding cabachons, making your own jewelry to perfectly go with your outfit, etc. You also don't need to save for actual vintage clothing. You can go to second hand shops to find articles of clothing that look like they're from that time period. And hey! Some of the jewelry is actually vintage. A lot of what makes a vintage inspired look seem authentic are the details like the hairstyles (facial hair included) and makeup. En grande, the world is your oyster my friends!!! It isn't ita to make your own things instead of buying brand, on Wednesdays we don't have to wear Killstar, and even if you're just beginning to DIY, you will get better with time and practice!! Have fun, be you, and know that at the end of the day if you are true to yourself (if you are in a safe environment to do such), you will radiate that joy of being who you are to others and show those who may also be interested in these things but are too nervous that they're not alon and that there's no better time than now to get started! :D

RIGHT jfc I don't think I had new clothes as a young child unless rich relatives gave them to us. I remember my dad's eldest sister handed down these dresses from her daughters who are almost 10 years older than me and my sister and I resented the ever loving hell out of having to wear the late 80s/early 90s delicate flower with a solid peter pan collar dresses.

In Germany the clothing donation system is on the death end, I think in our country the system has to be changed that the fast fashion companies like H&M hairs to get rid of all this fast fashion stuff.

@Brianna Crichton Tee Noir did a video recently about skinny-shaming vs. fatphobia which explains how the two are *not* comparable. Both are definitely wrong, but one is supported at an institutional level and the other is not. Even if you think about clothing options, a thin person will nearly always be able to find something to wear (it might not be fitted, but they can at least wear it AND baggy clothing is usually only seen as fashionable on thin people), whereas a larger person won't be able to even put anything on in a lot of stores that they go to. The clothing store that I used to work at only had sizes 00-12 and XS-L in stores until the *end of last year* when they finally started carrying size 14 and XL. The store carries up to a size 18 online, but it feels so wrong telling a customer that they won't be able to find anything in the physical store because everything is too small for them. It always felt like the company didn't want bigger people to be seen shopping in the store, but still wanted their money so they put a few things on the website. That experience isn't something thinner people typically go through unless they go to one of the 5 or 6 plus-size stores compared to the hundreds of stores with smaller sizes. There's many other reasons why they aren't comparable, but ultimately, it's not a competition to see who has it worse. The problem is that people are being hurt and everyone could stand to be a little bit kinder and empathetic to others regardless of their appearance.

FR THO!! The kids at my school see thrifting as super trendy and cool, meanwhile my parents who came to this country with very little money, are embarrassed at the idea of even going to a goodwill to buy CDs😭😭😭😭

I remember seeing a tiktok about current trends and whether they would be “cheugy” in the future. And I just kinda realised were going through fashion so quickly that we’re rating CURRENT TRENDS, that are meant to look good RIGHT NOW, on whether they will look good in the future. Like, c’mon, this is a trend meant to be enjoyed in the moment and preferably, for a longer time. Don’t rate them based on how they will be perceived in the future????

I agree with you but I also think that that could help someone to asses how long they will be able to wear a garment and if the style stays for a long time and becomes timeless or if its just a fleeting micro trend. It kinda depends on the person giving the critics and what their end goal for the viewer is: to be informed about fashion or just to bash a trend

the thing is fashion trends cycle through each other too so if you just keep what's now "cringey"... it'll be trendy again in a few years so just do whatever you want right now

I don't care for people having labels for behaviors or trends, so if I am cheugy or not, it is all good and same to me. Just do and wear what you like.

@@girls4722 Hence the “20 years rule” where past fashion trends resurface 20 years after they had “died out”. That’s why you see a resurgence in early 2000s trends in 2020 (bright bold colors, animal prints, y2k fashion, low rise jeans, asymmetrical clothing, etc)

Is there Any More details you got on this because Now I'm Curious about the relation between Any Ex-Trends and Thrift Store Processing. No pressure if you can't Due to NDA's or whatever.

I didn’t even know people bought 1000 dollar hauls😳 that is just insane!! I come from a culture where we keep our clothes for a very long while, and honestly I am wearing my mom’s teenage clothes, and it’s great because they are still nice and trendy because ✨TRENDS ALWAYS COME BACK✨

I have my grandmas clothes from when she was a teen. They're actually so chic. Clothes last for an insanely long time if you treat them well.

not the case if your family used to be so poor that your mother had to wear clothes that belonged to an old dead woman ! not attacking you though because i very much agree, all of my old stuff goes to my 5 million cousins lmao edit: i just realised this is probably because where i live was not trendy at All (and still isn’t unless you’re like 25 and under) + again, old dead people thing
