Why are clothes so terrible now?

[Anonymous]

I went clothes shopping today because I need a nicer pair of pants, and every pair of pants is either skinny and cropped or leisurewear sweatpants. Literally everywhere. Is is not possible to buy a normal pair of pants anymore? So ugly.

I agree. I saw a list of some magazine...best jeans for everyone...all were awful. Unflattering AND expensive.

I think it’s gotten worse during the pandemic too. Or everyone is working from home! But the stores seem to think we are.

Through money at this problem! I like Lafayette 148 pants from Nordstrom. Expensive but great quality. You'd probably like the Gates, Gramercy, or Dalton as the legs are wider.

I’m sick of skinny jeans and pants too. Must be a flattering shape for most women or something. I don’t necessary want wide legs either.

All cheap fabric and fast shoddy production. Even in higher end brands. None of this stuff will last.

Big business ruined fashion. Outsourcing production to countries with no workers rights and dwindling quality control, fast fashion, people buying massive wardrobes of ever-cheaper and poorer made clothing (at every price point)… people have talked with their wallets.

The cuts are terrible. I went to Saks to find a pair b/c I thought that higher end brands would be better. They weren't.

Clothing manufacturers love cuts where they don’t have to use a scintilla more fabric than absolutely necessary.

I know. I'm shopping for simple linen or cotton dresses and everything is rayon, viscose or other horrid material.

Old Navy was one of them. Shipping in flimsy tissue thin tshirts and awful skinny jeans from China.

Which is why all the bathing suits bottoms being sold now are “cheeky” despite that cut looking horrendous on almost all women

I buy this on-line. I don’t own a ton of clothes but what own is nice and well-made.

They really are. I'm going to have to try that Lafayette 148, because god knows, I can't find anything nice.
