I would just like to say something as the Christmas ordering season hits peak:

Fast fashion isn’t just harmful because of its production methods; it also encourages buying clothing in excessive quantities. Low prices and constant sales lower the barrier for “hauls,” leading consumers to purchase items they barely like. A month later, these pieces often get discarded—bought not because someone wanted the garment, but because they enjoyed the thrill of receiving a package.

In many ways, it’s like short-form content you can wear—an endless stream of cheaply made items designed for quick dopamine hits rather than long-term enjoyment. These garments are deliberately manufactured to wear out and keep you coming back for more, feeding a cycle of impulsive consumption.

I’m not saying you should shop at brands like Shein or Temu. In fact, no matter where you shop, it’s essential to buy with intention, purchase sparingly, and maintain your clothes so they last for years.

One final point- many people overlook the fact that some fast fashion items contain harmful substances like lead. This isn’t just a worker health issue—it’s also a concern for the consumer. When we talk about the consequences of fast fashion, we need to consider both environmental impact and personal well-being.
