I would argue the issue with clothing is the opposite: you can buy very cheap clothes now.
H&M,Zara,C&A,Terranova etc all allow you to get a t-shirt, skirt, dress or whatever for ten bucks.
It's cheap synthetic and won't last long but who cares, you paid ten bucks for it.
And so each season you buy 3-4 new ones...
- jandrese 7y agoKohl's brand clothes are even more bottom barrel and last for years. Durability isn't the issue.
- rakejake 7y agoThe clothes being cheap here is not the problem although it definitely does not help. The problem here is fast fashion and the constant recycling of fashion trends. I'd argue that this is more of a cultural problem. If the clothes are cheap but the trend changes biannually instead of annually, you're going to see a drop in purchases. The diktat should be "Buy cheap clothes but not very often". You don't have to go all the way to a suit with matching tie and shoes. Polos, shirts, jeans, chinos can be had for cheap too, and they last long.
