    If we are honest stores like Forever 21, Rue 21, and a lot of the time H&M too, all carry the same quality that Shein does for about 3x the Shein price. Everyone is using the same flimsy/delicate fabrics that fall apart after a handful of washes. That’s why Shein is winning against everyone else, they actually charge a reasonable price for the mediocre quality. Brands need to spend some of the money they spend in marketing on their raw materials and increase the quality to match the prices

However, when social media has a strong influence on everyone's dress decisions, it is the fact that consumers are more likely to choose SHEIN over Zara/H&M. By overpriced, I mean these OG fast fashion companies do not deserve to generate so much revenue as they did in the old days, so having new competitors in the market, in my opinion, can somehow improve the market in the way that these companies will no longer be advertising for fast/cheap but instead quality and design.

  • @anandrade96
    @anandrade96 2 года назад +287

    I get that Shein is an incredibly problematic company, probably more than other fast fashion brands, but to a lot of us it is our best option. I'm not talking about tik tokers and other influencers who buy huge amounts of cheap clothes and shoot hauls (don't even get me started with influencers who wear a full Shein outfit and then pose in front of Chanel stores lol), I'm talking about people who don't have the financial freedom to buy clothing from brands that used to be considered affordable such as Zara and now are getting on the pricier side, while not even improving their quality. I have Shein clothes that have lasted me 4, 5 years so far, so I'd say the waste has a lot to do with the fact that trends now last shorter and people just easily throw them away. All in all, shop smart. Be it Shein or Zara, just buy what you need, which fabrics can last a relatively long time and what you see yourself wearing for the next years.

    Just being honest! I was a nurse that caught Covid in 2020 and haven’t improved. I have no income and went through a long spurt of depression. I said that I would never shop at Shein and when I saw those prices, it opened new doors for me as far as purchasing affordable fashionable clothing items.
    You definitely need to look at the fabric used prior to purchase. Their 100% polyester items are lower quality but the viscose fabrics hold up longer. Just a thought.
    It is addicting, especially when they have their clearance for items that you can buy for $4-$7.
    With that being said, I am trying to stop my shopping at Shein and other brands like it as I explore a more minimalistic lifestyle for my mental health. Blessings to everyone 💜🙏🏾

You know where all those clothes go, whether they are sold or not? into the dump like every other article of clothing that becomes out of style or last season's clothing. Of course you wouldn't know that because you don't see the bigger picture, but instead you wanted to say Shien is responsible because it is a Chinese company. Wake up!

    the idea behind ‘copying’ from luxury brands does sound lowkey stupid to middle class people who cannot afford such items but that shouldn’t lead us to the cheapest fast fashion store. copying from someone else or being influenced to do something particular isn’t bad at all. even shakespeare borrowed the key story line of most of his plays from previous playwrights but what made him different was that he didn’t just put out whatever for the sake of writing something. though his ideas weren’t original, there’s no denying that they were appealing and of quality. What is more is that even he wrote for middle class people who couldn’t afford the luxuries that upper class people were busy with such as politics. If you compare his work and the fashion today, there’s not much difference considering that luxury brands as well target celebrities and rich population only. Sure their work is ‘art’ and needs to be valued but they never bothered to cater to the masses and so they will never have the rights to complain against fast fashion which actually does work for the masses. However, like shein, most fast fashion brands exploit human rights and make terrible quality things. now obviously you can’t expect world’s best quality while you’re paying $3 but what people can do is thrift and buy a few fairly priced clothes from little boutiques that do care for what they produce instead of buying a multiples of $3 shirts which they’re not even gonna use to the full life. if shein or any fast fashion brand wants to be respected for their work, they must cater to all the factors. human exploitation should be stopped including ripping off people for lowest quality items like zara does.

      When you buy Shien you directly put money in the pockets of an evil state that is threatening the security and livelihood of many countries as we speak. Buying from Zara or H&M, in spite of all its issues, is benign compared to that. The matter is more that price and quality.

      @@nuanced8225 H&M, Zara all use sewing factories in China. The majority of the fabrics they use are also from China. When you buy from those brands, you also indirectly put money in the pocket of that “evil state”. So many products outside of fashion are also made in China, or use materials sourced from China.

      Yeah. Zara are well known for this where they copy luxury brands because it saves them time and money since they don't need to hire designers to do it.

      Yeah. Shein has so many different fashions that almost everyone will find something that they like. In the USA, you can only find certain styles in a certain store, which means you need to jump from one site to the next or walk from store to store.

    I like Shein for the simple fact there’s more variety for plus size people like me. I’ve tried to shop more “ethically” with expensive brands but rarely saw my size in styles I like. So, I resort to thrifting and sites like Shein, Asos etc that include clothing sizes for everyone 🤷‍♀️

    As much as I try not to buy when I don't need it - SHEIN's quality sometimes are far better than zara or hm... I used to be an avid loyalist of Zara a few years back - then I started noticing the decline in quality, fabric, stitching... Then I discovered shein before it became such a boom like it is now, compared their shirts and dresses to some Zara purchases, and made me so turned off about purchasing items from Zara.. Over priced, cheap quality and cheap fabrics they use.. Just now hoping Shein would be more sustainable by using less new production of textiles.

      I don't like shein's ultra fast fashion or possible child labor. But because ZARA/Inditex isnt any better on their labor sourcing, Imt ok with SheIn either hurting Zara or forcing them to improve, both pricing and labor problems.

    Cheap fast fashion will always be in style, there is too much income inequality, sustainable clothes are overpriced for most people. Fast fashion wouldn’t be bad if people buy them with the intention of wearing like long term instead of tossing them out after the season.

    Also inclusion of every sizes is a plus! And you can check if the size most likely would fit on you because the measurement can be checked before the purchase.
