True, they are not fast fashion but their environmental and employment practices are definitely way worse than what you could hope for. https://goodonyou.eco/h

  From the article, I got impression that they are way better than most fast fashion brands and provide great value for reasonable price. If you can afford, on some principles there are better options.

    Better than the worst (fast fashion is truly terrible) is not a very high bar. And true, there are worst clothing companies than Uniqlo. Although, from the uniqlo website, I can find "Our commitment to making great clothing begins with sourcing ethically produced materials, minimizing environmental impacts, putting workers first, and developing new materials and technologies with better futures in mind." Sadly, I don't think any of it is true. I don't have anything against Uniqlo though. They make affordable basics (and some nice collab releases). It is just shameful that it has high environmental and human costs. > If you can afford, on some principles there are better options. Absolutely, whether you are after quality, ethical sourcing, treating your worker correctly or even style, there are some awesome alternative. Unfortunately, you have to be able to afford it.
