How and Why we should avoid Fast Fashion

How and Why we should avoid Fast Fashion

by World Model Hunt / Friday, 15 January 2021 / Published in Blog

We live in a generation, where we love cheap price tags.  Even though we buy from big brands, we get the items at very cheap rates. We wear them merely a couple of times, and they began looking worn out. The color might look faded or the seems might start to rip apart. However, this happens due to fast fashion, also known as unsustainable fashion. The big designers choose cheap quality and synthetic materials for clothing. Therefore, we get them at low prices. But, we get what we pay for. Well, here we have made a list of some reasons why and how we should avoid fast fashion trends.

Why we should avoid Fast Fashion?

Fast fashion simply exploits workers everywhere

In order to make more profit, companies need workers at low cost to manufacture fast fashion clothes. In developing countries like Bangladesh or India, this results in the exploitation of apparel workers. Besides, the rise in wages and inflation in China has made it nearly impossible to find low-price labor. 

The clothing does not last

This seems to be very obvious, but it’s worth giving some thought to. Suppose you buy a t-shirt from a big brand for six Euros. You wear it two times, but the manufacturing and fabric are so cheap that a hole develops in it. On the other hand, let’s say you spend ten Euros on a t-shirt from a local retailer which is of better quality. 

Fast fashion has devastating environmental impacts

The textile manufacturing industry requires a lot of water and fuel to run effectively and ultimately producing large amounts of waste. Therefore affecting the environment and draining the fossil fuels like petroleum oils. Hence, the fast and unsustainable fashion trends are overwhelming our planet and polluting our oceans. 

Fast fashion distorts the way we think about purchasing clothes

Clothes are meant to be worn. When we see a cloth we like, we buy it not only because we like the design but also we imagine ourselves wearing it. We buy these clothes also because the low price attracts us. Fast fashion makes us do impulse shopping.

How can we avoid Fast Fashion?

Checking the tags while buying

When you buy clothes, you cannot ask the seller if this is made in a safe environment? Or was the manufacturing eco-friendly? But instead, you can check the tags that are on the back of the neck or sewn in the side seam of the clothes. It tells you what all kinds of materials have been used while making the item. 

Buy Less but Buy Better

Ethical fashion is mostly costlier; which shows the true cost of using materials. These materials are more eco-friendly and less damaging to the earth. Made in factories that are safe to work in for the workers, and pays well and fairer wages to their employees or workers.

Shopping in charity and vintage shops and taking  part in clothes swaps

The idea of wearing second-hand clothes is much better in most senses. People aren’t convinced about the ethics of buying used high street items. This way we can reduce the burden on manufacturing units which ultimately will reduce the use of fuel and water to manufacture the clothes.

Therefore, we must opt for a more eco-friendly and sustainable fashion. Apart from the above mentioned, you can also invent new ideas for sustainable fashion. You may also reuse your old clothes by updating the clothes you already own. And many websites rent out clothes and accessories where you can also rent yours. And, many people are working for this particular cause only by making clothing items just by pure sustainable fabrics. Therefore, become a conscious consumer and every positive purchase leads to a positive impact.
