Isn’t women’s clothing notoriously low-quality due to the whole ‘fast fashion’ phenomenon?

Isn’t women’s clothing notoriously low-quality due to the whole ‘fast fashion’ phenomenon?
- jjeaff 3y agoI've never heard of fast fashion being attributed to just women's clothing. There are plenty of men's clothing options at stores like Zara and Uniqlo
- KptMarchewa 3y agoAnd I wouldn't call Uniqlo "notoriously low-quality".
- makeitdouble 3y agoTo chime on sister comment, Uniqlo has a sub-brand ("GU") for cheaper clothing. Fast fashion isn't women exclusive, but the fashion cycle is so much shorter for women that the very notion of fashion being "fast" almost only makes sense for them *. I actually wonder what fashion style a woman could get away with wearing for 10 years. It would probably need to be almost monotone, covering, and with little to no affordance. A white long straight skirt with a black or cream T shaped top ? * There will be a non negligeable number of men also caring about fashion and follow a shorter cycle, but that's far from the norm.
- kbelder 3y agoSure, but you're talking about a fraction of woman, and a tiny fraction of men. The effect size is not equivalent.
- nequo 3y agoThe same brands carry more colorful clothes for women than for men. I don’t suppose that their offerings for men are higher quality than their offerings for women.
