    Molly, as someone who makes clothes, it's absolutely not a toxic trait to expect good quality!! We should all be moving more towards quality and prices that make it possible to fairly compensate textile workers and away from fast fashion and clothes that fall apart after a few times in the wash. Clothes are an investment, they can have huge emotional connections for people, and we should absolutely be more mindful and respectful of that!! (While of course still striking that balance where we can retire clothes we don't fit/love anymore or are ready to be rags and not be hoarders about it lol)

    I work in alterations, if you want to shorten jeans with out losing the distressed bottom ask for an original hem. They’ll cut off the original hem and reattach it at the correct height, hiding the stitch line in the shadow line of the distressing

    I've learned that I have sensory issues with clothes. Now that I'm in my 30s I REFUSE to get uncomfortable clothes. Your reviews help me so much, I'm going to try out Halara. Your honesty is super appreciated. If you approve of an online brand I know it's a safe one for me. The Aerie brand has changed my life for the better, and I would not have bought any without you. You're incredible Molly! ❤

    Thank you for this review! I've seen so many sponsored reviews and even when people I trust and who say that they're being honest, getting something for free is going to influence your opinion whether you notice it or not. I appreciate your comments and this brand is exactly what I expected it to be. I knew the raving reviews just didn't make sense.

    I bought a couple of Halara items via an online thrift shop so no smell, but great fit (I am short). I love how once Elton saw his precious human do something slightly dangerous he would not leave her unattended. Service dogs have so much love and loyalty, makes me a bit misty.

    I dont understand why halara is so expensive, im in canada also and picking 7 things cost over 300 dollars i noped out of that real quick and didnt place an order. This brand is the epitome of fast fashion, their skirts and dresses should not cost 70-80 dollars

      Exactly, the cost is what has me side-eyeing it so hard. Like they might be upcharging in the hopes it'll trick people into thinking "oh, this isn't fast fashion, it can't be, because it's expensive"...which would be way grosser than if they just owned that it's fast fashion.

Am I looking at the wrong site because all the stuff I'm looking at are in the 50-80 dollar range , I wanted to buy that mesh skirt they ripped off from blogilates but not at 70 dollars I'm not.

    Cute or not, quality or not, the rating on Halara as an "ethical brand" is "not good enough". They are considered a fast fashion brand. Articles I've found online for this company emphasize to use caution when making purchases. These are the same cautions that were put out when Temu started going viral. Just use caution when purchasing and do a basic search of the brands you're thinking of buying. It's too easy to get scammed these days.

    Molly if you're looking for jeans that feel like sweatpants I HIGHLY recommend Lucy & Yak. They are the only brand of jeans I will buy and they are so incredibly comfortable. There's so many styles and colors, though I will say their traditional denim washes tend to be the softest.

    The music underneath the audio of the video threw me for a loop, I was convinced there was a clock ticking loudly in my home, but I don't own a clock that makes a sound, but loved it, also loved the honesty about the quality, not many people say that and I just won't buy or wear something of it doesn't feel right, as that makes me feel bad in the clothes, somehow that might actually connected to that I can't see them, but the cut, fit, shape and fabric matters so much, and in this day and age I don't think brands should be able to get away with worse quality if you paid much more for it (:

    I bought one of their sporty dresses as a taller autistic woman, and it was easily the most comfortable dress I've ever owned. I'd probably rate it a 7 or 8. The fabric is thick and feels high-quality, it's a decent shade of black, and as someone who is insecure about their stomach and thighs, it makes those regions look flattering, which is nice. I also like the sewn-in shorts that don't sag at the crotch and the pockets. The downsides are, the pads of the built-in bra frankly look awful. They are so painfully obvious and make my chest look super misshapen. Luckily, though, there was a simple solution of removing them and replacing them with ones that are more discreet and look so much better too. I also wish the shorts were a little longer. My thighs still rub together a little, so I typically wear a pair of yoga pants or leggings with no built-in bulk under the dress. It's flattering for girls who like to show their chest off a little, but I'm not one of those girls and I also feel like the thin straps make my arms look bigger than I like, so I also tend to wear a T-shirt or tank top over top of it. That's my honest review, for anyone who were looking for one. I love mine a lot and would consider buying it in other colors.

    I am from Greece and I haven't heard about this brand before. But it's a really funny name for us Greeks , because halara (χαλαρά) is an expression that means to chill out. It's a well known expression used by the people who live in the second bigger town Thessaloniki and everything there is halara. For example you meet for a coffee with friends and that meeting lasts for several hours 😂

  • @orangeleprachaun4723
    @orangeleprachaun4723 Год назад

    my problem with Halera, other than that it is quite a lot of money for the quality or my budget, is that everything ive felt from them seems like sports clothes and also to me looks like it. and for me that makes it a bit awkward to wear, because the fit is cute but the material looks and feels so out of place for the styles.
    What I own I thrifted but it really feels like a bathing suit or shiny sports leggings, rather than comfy cotton leggings of sorts.
    However I see no influencer ever talk about that and I wonder if I am the only one bothered by it
