Yeh, well thats the problem with Jcrew now, their stuff used to last forever, and it was high quality and was edgy but had more traditional feels. A good pair of Levis used to be made well too for girls, now everything is this new stretchy material and it's hard to find real denim anymore. Alot of clothes are made cheaply for high trends and makeup does the same thing. I don't do makeup and only invest in few high quality clothing and solid colours. I actually have a really minimal closet, with fewer high quality things and I invest in just a few designers, and wear mostly nice white tshirts with jeans, and sometimes splurge on nice shoes as a girl. If you have a few pair of really nice jeans, and really high quality solid/button down shirts in black white/ 2-3 other colours that complement your eyes/hair/skintone then it's really easy to get dressed in the morning, saves time and I can wear the same thing at night (I don't really go out outside of work, but hypothetically if I did) I could change from flats or tennis shoes which I wear to work, to kitten heels and look like I'm ready for a date. I'm not into being robbed by clothes and makeup just because I'm a girl. when I was broke in college buying cheap clothes got me by but I was not keeping up with trends. Now I shop for a few high quality things, and Jcrew used to be a place I could do that. For high quality minimalist girls clothing I recommend Emerson fry who used to have more tomboy stuff and Everlane: https://www.everlane.com/ https://www.everlane.com/ I streamline my clothing. I don't make impulse buys, I buy nice jeans. And anyways most girls who have trendy clothing end up wearing the one thing they like over and over again, so why not make sure everything you buy is that one thing you can wear multiple times. Overall, I would say its not a conscious decision to be trendy but girls have to learn/decondition themselves to this underhanded sexism pressuring girls to feel like they need to buy clothes 600% as much just to not look frumpy.
