Look, it is true that fashion industry has changed rapidly during the last 30 years, but sometimes when I see people bemoaning how "clothes are so bad and flimsy nowadays" it basically boils down to the solution of STOP BUYING FAST FASHION.

#I remember seeing a post that was about modern skirts not having underskirts any more #as someone who wears exclusively skirts to work I went to inspect my wardrobe and basically most of my skirts and dresses that were #from brands considered middle pricepoint range had underskirts and the ones that did not were mostly from fast fashion brands #yeah the quality of clothes has been dropping because fast fashion is what sells and you cannot produce quality #when stuff needs to be fast and cheap but there are literally so many brands that do not follow this ideology #I have the hunch that people who complain about flimsy clothes are not willing to accept that good quality also means higher price tag #because fast fashion also has changed how much we think clothes should cost #and I get it - if you don't have that much spare money to spend it is disheartening to realise how much nice clothes cost as new #and also one's body type dictates the amount of options they have #but as someone who is interested in fashion and sees the array of options it feels jarring that folks get unhappy that fast fashion does no #represent their standards instead of idk throwing money at some seamstress that has their own indie brand or so #Sara talks about her boring life
