Fast fashion has been gaining popularity over the years. The main idea of fast fashion is taking concepts from luxurious brands and fashion catwalks and applying them in order to create trendy but cheap clothes. These clothes are usually made from low-quality fabrics and need to be changed each season (together with trend shifts). Fast fashion mass-market brands allow their customers to spend little money and look ultra-fashionable. Fast fashion is also strongly associated with factories in developing countries with bad working conditions and low pay.
On the other hand, slow fashion is becoming more and more popular nowadays. It is normally inspired and created by people who value sustainability, awareness, and eco-friendliness. Slow fashion brands usually design clothes that may look good and be worn for years. They don’t follow the latest trends and make sure that their clothes are produced from high-quality materials (or sometimes recycled materials). It may potentially reduce the amount of waste on our planet. Of course, caring about nature, employees, and the quality of the products make the slow fashion items unique but more expensive.
However, it’s up to you what clothes to buy and what values to express through them. Try to be conscious and buy what you really want and need, not because someone told you it was a “must-have”.
