Fast-fashion clothes are not only creating massive landfills around the world but also wasting your hard-earned money. However, sometimes, branded clothes with hefty price tags can be low quality, too.If you've recently been wondering why your clothes — even items from more reputable brands — deteriorate in quality or look lacklustre after a few washes, you're not alone. Think pilled sweaters, jeans that rip from a little chub rub, loosely sewn buttons and cheap zippers.
"Quality comes with a price tag, and fast fashion greatly skewed our perception of what quality clothes should cost," she said in an interview. She started her content creation journey as a pharmacy student at the University of Toronto. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she downloaded TikTok, started watching videos, and noticed creators posting a lot of fast fashion hauls.
"I can't believe people think Oak + Fort is good quality," she says in the video as she begins her review of a sweater she spotted on the store's window mannequin. "Sixty-four dollars for this shirt that's see-through. You can see the tag and messy stitching. I just don't see the hype here.""Although I don’t have a formal fashion background, it's easy for me to apply my research to learn about fashion. I'm also a self-taught seamstress, so that experience helped me be more astute about clothing construction and stitching," she says.
"Always check the stitching to make sure it's evening; always check the zippers for bulk and proper installation," she advises.
