The results of fast fashion
Our fashion obsessed generation has contributed to the current overconsumption of fashion. Fast fashion, resellers, social media, fashion trends, and more have caused this fashion consumption, but who’s really to blame?

I was a consumption person… now I’m tryna streamline my wardrobe and buy quality, versatile pieces and / or things I really want
@@newcityboiii just stop buying so much
@@newcityboiii when you shop don’t just buy something for a deal the store might offer. avoid all fast fashion brands shein, h&m, pandabuy, really any replica market just don’t purchase from them
@@sheldondinkleberg4181 the only fast fashion i buy is uniqlo
@@sheldondinkleberg4181 replica is okey as long as you buy stuff of quality wich there is and not buy stuff on impulse
@@YEEOLD okay so i actually used to think buying quality replicas wasn’t as bad bc the craftsmanship is basically 1:1 materials etc. but, they still have to waste i’m sure tons of material testing their products to get them as close to 1:1. another thing is as 90% of garment factory workers are underpaid i’m not so sure the people who work for the replica factories are paid any better and even worse they would really have no way to try and use their worker rights. i don’t hate anyone and can’t hate a person buying something they want at an affordable price it’s just my thoughts on replicas
Getting tired of clothing was the best to happen to me. It's expensive and no one cares about what you wear
Incredibly based
So true No one cares But the idea is to make consumers believe someone cares How else are they going to sell all those massive amounts of useless junk Be mindful of what over consumption does to our planet No one needs massive amounts of anything We need to stop filling all the empty spaces and all the empty places within ourselves with distraction An illness that people can not see
Nobody! I could go outside with a $5000 outfit and not get one compliment.
My girlfriend and I were cleaning out our closet yesterday and discussing this a bit. We both agreed we’d be better off building a solid foundation of timeless essentials that embody our own personal styles and then adding some trendy pieces here and there in moderation.
That's the Minimal aesthetic, it will never go out of style, easy to wear, and will save you money.
@Finesso Bro everyone looks the same, nobody's different. All these people wear the same sneakers, same tops and bottoms, all of them follow anything. You might think you're unique, but you're just gonna look the same just like everyone else because they all think they're special. I rather wear classic essentials and to be done with my wardrobe, than to be following every single hype or trend or whatever is popular for the moment only to continue buying more and more, wasting money, for the delusional pursuit of looking unique only to look the same as any other "Hypebeast" right next to them. Anyways men shouldn't be thinking about clothing all the time anyways, what's popular, or what's trending anyways, or have a bunch of clothes. Leave that to the ladies. Men shouldn't obsess over clothing, we don't need a big wardrobe also, we're men.
@@kavendeleon8036 I agreed with you up until the “we’re men” part. Nah, you got me fucked up. While I don’t believe in collapsing under the thumb of the consumerist agenda, I’m not going to be pretend I don’t like having variety for the sake of converging to dated ideologies of being a man. I agree to have less, but if I can have a solid wardrobe I will. I’m not gonna look like a boring ass jeans and t-shirt person because it’s a “manly” thing to do, you can have that lol we’re both men regardless
@@zenassinclair3243 Lol I don't care what you wear, It's your life. If you like that crap then you can have it, your life not mines. It's my opinion, if you don't like it oh well. I think that hypebeast stuff is corny and tacky in my opinion, but you can wear whatever you like. It's a free country right, so you dress how you want, no judgement 😂😂
@@kavendeleon8036 you’re so triggered, its astonishing 😂
I think an important detail to note is that fast fashion is not synonymous with low prices. Fast fashion is a practice which has the potential to be used by any brand not just shien. Designer doesn’t necessarily mean less wasteful so it’s important to keep that in mind.
I’m so glad I grew out of this phase. What worked out for me was to just get the essential items (a variety of different colored Gildan hoodies, plain sweatpants, plain shorts, plain T-shirts, 1 blue jeans and 1 black jeans) and just keep it that way until they’ve been worn out. It also makes it easier to style your sneakers since most of the outfit is already simple instead of trying so hard to pop out.
I finally started liking my closet when I invested more in basics instead of trendy or "fun" pieces. Finally it is easy to get dressed. Plus, I found I tend to like wearing simple clothing the best anyway. It also saves a ton of money to just stop buying clothes. You'd be shocked at how quickly even the "cheap" purchases add up. Not to mention the environmental devastation caused by the fashion industry, as you alluded to.
Glad you’ve found what you like! That’s a great feeling being comfortable/confident plus saving money
I only try to buy 2-3 pieces of clothing per year (bar undergarments)
I’ve probably bought about 10-15 in the past 6 months alone. And it’s an even worse situation for my shoe spending 😅
That's an excellent level of restraint. I have to limit myself to one piece per month.. if I can longer than that, that's a big achievement.
@@prosperomiponle7645as long as you wear everything you bought, I think thats still fine tho
thrifting and the vintage scene was a great start to being more mindful of buying pieces for me
Definitely, same here!
Remarkably welll done video dude! Overconsumption is a GIGANTIC problem. Especially as someone who creates content. Often times I feel the need to constantly upgrade what I have, advance onto something new or different, or sometimes feel tempted to buy some things out of the potential to make content. It’s the golden handcuffs of content creation. But all in all, regardless of what I end up buying the exploration of styles and the sheer amount of product contributes to a versatile wardrobe. Unfortunately now I have to work on getting better at down-sizing LOL
Thanks Joshua, that definitely makes sense! Keep up the good work, really liked the last video
I'm definitely guilty of impulse buying online. The dopamine was hitting harder tracking my package and waiting for it to arrive then when I actually opened and received my items which left me wanting more. Definitely need to work on self control.
I can relate to that same feeling of waiting for the package. Thanks for watching and dropping the comment!
I was trying to improve my style and expand my taste in fashion, i watched countless videos, looked at various pictures, and learned where to get quality stuff. But the best advice i ever heard came from a drew joiner vid.. he said “Start with what you have”
That really stood out to me, so instead of buying a new wardrobe immediately, i focused on what i had that i liked, and built from there. I’m much happier with how i dress since simplifying
Drew’s great, glad you’ve found what you like!
Thank you for speaking truth on this issue. It really helps relieve some pressure for people who are relatively new and just getting into fashion like myself not feel like we have to constantly keep up with trends or buy pieces exactly the same or similar to the ones pushed by those big influencers. Harry Has also touched on this a bit aswell in his video from today. Great video man keep sharing this type of information!
Thank you, Dominick! More videos on the way
Im only trying to by the pieces I 100% like. This makes me select the things more carefully and I admire every piece more for what it is. (Except of basics like socks etc)
Same here!
I'm glad I make my own clothing from scratch and it's all black no color to white lines or etc.. all black! minimalist loose, 5 shirts, and 3 pants. last me 2-3 years then do another set while keeping my last set
super important topic. thank you for bringing this to light! we need to consume much less and be more mindful in our purchases. buy less, buy better.
Thank you!
Really needed to hear this. Thanks and keep up the good work!
Appreciate it! Thank you Rowan
u know what i really get inspiration from your vids !
thanks for making video make me my day ❤ p.s your cap is so cool with Tokyo 😀
Thank you! It’s currently my favorite hat from Ebbets
I think I'll stick to having elevated basics, with a dash of something new and fun every once in a while. Pretty much what I've been doing for the past year and I find that I'm wearing absolutely everything in my wardrobe. Very satisfying.
I love how clothing I bought in the 90s are again trendy... I just take it back out of the closet
Cant beat it👌
I hate myself. I have no one to go anywhere with, the only thing I could maybe excuse myself for wanting/getting is higher quality outdoor exercise gear I get. But that’s super popular now or cheap and now I’m just getting cheap fake ass outdoor clothes , and now i am afraid to wear my nicer outdoor/exercise stuff bc idk why like it’s too nice compared to my fast fashion stuff
Sounds like a beneficial time to get to know yourself better in nature. From my experience of running alone this has been a huge success in my mental and physical health. As far as clothes go, the more you wear outdoor stuff the better it looks in my opinion
Love the video man, keep up the good work.
Thank you, appreciate it! Any video topics you’d like to see?
I spend too much on fashion but I find I'm not massively influenced by trends at all as I find they don't suit my own individual taste. Through this I very very rarely buy from fast fashion retailers and do as much as I can to buy more vintage pieces from stores which specialise in them or on depop.
This is why i quit Jordan’s.
What have you been wearing since you quit? I’ve been trying to slow down my sneaker pickups too
@@WhatsTheHype.Landon I’ve been wearing ASICS Tiger lately. I really appreciate the history and the fact that it indirectly created Nike sells it to me. It’s my way of lashing out at the Influencer fashion industry. conformity:uniformity is never a good thing
@@mikloridden8276 oh cool! I’ve seen the Mexico 66s getting some more love this year
I’ve focused on overconsumption this year in terms of music and video streaming platforms. I’ve cut most of them and found balance to my consumption of living.
That’s really cool! I’ve been more mindful of that while working out/driving
Im buying like 2-3 pieces a year and keep em for years … 😶😂. Im enjoying fashion and Im very much into trends but my personal style is quite basic so im just adding some pieces here and then to build my closet.
I started thrifting or going to flea markets or clothing swaps so I could save money for skater gear but I honestly don't see a reason to shop fast fashion unless I'm buying something for strictly a utilitarian purpose or a special occasion. Second hand is just cheaper, sustainable, and honestly just a more fun way to shop. The only thing I don't buy second hand now is shoes, socks, and underwear
one hundred percent agree with your message man, people just really like to buy 🤷♂️
Appreciate that, Vlad!
I think culture has a lot of influence in the way we consume things as well. I never really understood why we needed to change into pajamas when going to bed. As an adult I have repurposed a lot of my old worn out t-shirts and shorts as something I wear when I am at home which includes when I sleep. If I am scheduled to work at home the next day or decide not to go out during the weekend. I will just wear a worn out shirt and shorts after taking a shower at night, sleep with it and wake up the next day wearing it until the end of the day. Despite this I still have a lot of clothes but I do try to categorize it to maximize its use and perhaps curb any additional spending on clothes. My main categories are house wear, casual weekend or going out wear and professional attire for work.
Definitely! Breaking the rules or norms will change your consumption habits
Fact bro. similar with wearing socks inside the house. I think it is a marketing scheme back then to make people into constant spending and overconsuming overtime turning into some imaginary tradition and social pressure.
I won't ever stop✔️
Fast fashion is the exact reason why instead of having a “normal” shoe collection I have an “unwearable” shoe collection where I can only add somthing to my collection if I wear it so much it becomes completely unbearable, so that I have to buy stuff I’ll actually wear.
That makes sense. Idk if you’d agree, but I really enjoy the process of wearing something a bunch
@WhatsTheHype.Landon yea same thing here, it gives the piece character yk, shoes are my chosen endeavor because they always wear down bc they are allways making contact with the ground.
@@BRANDON_MILLER yep, me too! My lost and found Jordan’s have gotten so much wear. I really like how they’re aging
Ayyy my boy dropped the skincare routine
Cant gatekeep!
Obviously, this goes with what he’s saying, but shopping for what I need and makes me spend way less than searching for some thing to buy and when I have more money, I try to spend less on what I need and when I have less money I will go broke for a day or two for some thing that I want. Although I’ve gotten better 😅
I got shirts that are 'vintage' because I've had them 25 years. Also CavEmpt and Number(N)ine. Because now I don't have to 'dress to impress' anymore.
Sick! I hope my clothes last that long
Ends a vid on overconsumption with an Amazon plug 😂 bro
Great vid
Lol I thought that’d be funny, but I did try and pick out products that I’ve gotten a lot of wears out of. People are gonna buy from Amazon regardless, might as well get good stuff from them
When you mentioned skincare with American Psycho in the frame lmao
He’s literally me
Honestly i wear all the clothes in my closet. Trendy or not idc i just buy things i like and wear them. I bought a adidas adventure cool polar jacket and i was never able to wear it but after trying i finally did. Now i wear it a lot and even after 2 years without wearing it i always liked it and its because i choose my clothes on what i love and not trend
Wow, that whole comparison thing has never even crossed my mind. I do see a lot of UA-camrs and streamers always talking about their fit check or how dripped out this person was lmao and it’s honestly very silly to me because a lot of time they look ridiculous and end up dressing kind of like a clown and for adults It’s just really funny.
Yeah, it’s definitely a problem that doesn’t get much coverage. I’m really breaking down the idea of comparisons and trends with my next video coming out on Saturday
you spoke facts
Thanks Steeven 👌
I buy high fashion and not so much so i always need to look for pieces that fits with the others and you dont need so many diffrent
have your own style. it's 2023 I'm personally into dressing more futuristically with a blend of hip hop Cyberpunk
I just wear what I want
I only buy classic and timeless clothes.things that can't and will never go out of "style"
The only timeless pieces I wear are Salehe crocs, MSCHF big red boots, and Yeezy Gap Round Jackets
@@WhatsTheHype.Landon too funny bro
This is why the minimalist aesthetic is and will always be winning
Any good UA-camr recommendations who fit this aesthetic?
@@WhatsTheHype.Landon Harry Has is the man
@@QuickCygan Yes Harry Has is an excellent guide on this style.
@@WhatsTheHype.Landon Daniel Simmons, Aesthetic Minimalist, James Leung, Trey Bryant, and Harry Has, there's a lot of them on this style. They are all great. The thing I love about the minimal style is that it's flexible enough from streetwear to businesswear, and will never go out of style. Plus you will have more money in your pocket in the long run.
It's kinda sad that people say you have no style because you wear vans or skinny jeans, there was a time that everyone could wear what they wanted not what the society wanted, every human being should be able to wear what they like without being judged by others.
The only people who care about that are on the internet. I think there’s still a lot of freedom for people to wear whatever
Its only tik tokers who care 😂 I still see a bunch of people who wear skinny jeans. These days, everything is in style
idc how much into clothing i get walmart will always be the plug for pants Wranglers carp pants and mossy oak camo pants is all i need lol
Finding what you like and sticking with it is key👌
You should make a discord server I watched 3 videos and ima subscribe HAVENT subscribed to someone in 3 years 😭
I cant stop buying sneakers.
I need help.
How do you stop?!
The 12 step sneaker addiction program helped get me clean
Black/white tee, any pant, all white air forces been my uniform since birth
Super clean, cant go wrong with that
Hypebeast philosopher 😭 fr tho saying what we all been thinking
i know we all on the same boat but saying don't buy with all those snkrs behind you is kinda funy
We just watched a film about fast fashion in school very good video
Oh cool, what kinda class was it for?
@@WhatsTheHype.Landon in ethics. The film also focused on how bad the conditions of the workers are
@@austriadiamolo that’s interesting, did people seem to enjoy it or did it not connect with the class?
@@WhatsTheHype.Landon yeah I think, they brought up some really bad things that happen to these workers. Like there are cotton farmers that produce cotton for very cheap and they spray some kind of chemical in the fields to produce it faster. these chemicals cause cancer and physically disability's . In another country they protest that they want more money because they are so underpaid by these big companies, but the police started shooting in the protest crowds and people died. So I think what the movie is trying to say that you shouldn't buy new clothes every week and buy from better brands with better quality because these workers are not treated like humans anymore
Hey, do you know the title of the movie?
The homie harry sold hisricks for 100$ flat and they were barely worn if he sees this ilysm and you’re real as fuck that mane
Shoutout Harry
Because almost everyone doesn’t have a normal job anymore and only work from home now after Covid.they have nothing to do so they go into depression so they go for the approval of someone else.
Chris from family guy
For sure people are ill.
Why do I feel like every fashion utuber I watch just says the same things over and over in their videos. Fast fashion bad, pollution, waste, alternatives, trends, finding your style, sustainability etc. Don't get me wrong I agree with most of what they are saying but it feels like its a broken record and every utuber is playing it.
because it's an important topic and we (and you) give a shit. the more it's talked about, the more people begin to understand it and the sooner change starts to happen.
thought this was chris griffin speaking
Bruh😭
People can buy hundreds of "ecological" clothes they dont need, and pat themselves on the back for saving environment 😅
consoooomers
Humans are the cause of all this over consumption? You don’t say.
You all got ego issues.
I buy what I buy because I want to buy what I buy...
🤷♂
first
Too quick👌
guilty of this 🥸
Admitting is the first step
