Well, you are lucky then!
I actually like shopping 🫣 so learning to #Hodl was a very very very big step for me.
And all of my girls are shocked with my hodl life style 🫨
Discussion
I’m very picky and life has made me very frugal. I typically need tall sizes. They are almost impossible to find in stores, but I hate ordering. I have to order so much but maybe 10% of what I try on works. Then the rest has to be shipped back. I really don’t like to wear non natural fibers. I prefer silks, cottons, etc. So it feels like an investigation when deciding to order something. I prefer to buy things that I think will work out to a $1 or under per wear. Designer clothes tend to work better I think because of models, but then they’re high priced. It makes me just want to give up and just walk around in a large cotton beach towel or sheet!
sounds rough:
Well a large cotton beach towel also works lol I would wear just that too if I was always somewhere warm.
But year I hear you. I am tall as well so I know what you mean. And yeah designer brands are cut better and use better fabrics, but the prices are not an easy pill to swallow when you are trying to Hodl 🥵
I’ve noticed some of the designer brands using worse quality synthetic fabrics.
Causes all sorts of problems
I would say this shift may partly be due to rising inflation; even luxury brands face economic challenges. Additionally, many have observed an influx of new customers with substantial wealth “new money”, and these brands understand that these “new money” clients have less experience in discerning high-quality fabrics due to them likely not being brought up wearing such high quality fabrics. Brands understand that “new money” shoppers will likely prioritize the visual appeal of clothing over its tactile qualities, simply because they don’t know what it should feel like. When they see a celebrity wearing a hoodie, they only see it, they can’t feel it. In response to inflation and changing consumer preferences, some brands have focused on the appearance of their products while compromising on the original high-quality standards, recognizing that many modern shoppers may not have a reference point for the superior fabric quality they once offered. 🥵
