This is called the "poor tax". The actual poor can't afford to buy things that will last a long time so they are forced to re-buy crappy things that fall apart.

- Sankozi 3y agoBut fast fashion clothes are not much cheaper (or even not always cheaper) than non-fast-fashion-cheap stuff. Maybe this is semantic argument only, for me: fast fashion - fashionable (or at least trying to be fashionable), not essential, poorly made clothes "cheap clothes" - non fashionable, often (but not always) poorly made clothes Poor people buy cheap clothes and sometimes fast fashion ones. The main buyers of fast fashion clothes are people from middle and upper class.
