00:00 Fast Fashion Introduction
It’s no secret that clothing has become cheaper and easier to come by than ever before. Manufacturers have stepped in to meet the desire for instant gratification, resulting in clothing that has an extremely low price tag but often has poor craftsmanship & inferior materials.
00:23 What is Fast fashion?
The term was first coined in the early 1990s when the high street brand Zara arrived in New York City. Although Zara may be credited with the origin of the term “fast fashion”, its true origins can be traced back far earlier than the ‘90s.
Fast fashion has shown no sign of slowing down in recent years. In its current context, fast fashion is very much like fast food in that it’s designed to be inexpensive, convenient, and consumed quickly.
04:43 The Concerns of Fast Fashion
→ The sheer volume and frequency of cheap clothing being made every year puts a significant strain on the environment.
→ Fast fashion garments are typically assembled from components originating in many different locations. These all have to be shipped to the garment manufacturer, and many of the factories that produce fast fashion clothing are based in developing countries, often far from the clothing’s intended destination.
→ Many companies have been put under scrutiny for perpetuating poor working conditions and low pay for the workers assembling the clothing
→ These brands plagiarize the work of high-end designers
08:33 Is ALL Fast Fashion Bad?
By its very nature, fast fashion clothing will simply be far less expensive than high-end, high-quality clothing such as a bespoke suit. Being able to experiment with different styles, colors, and details on a suit that costs $100 instead of several thousand dollars allows your sense of style to develop.
The convenience fast fashion provides is also undeniable and can be an excellent remedy if you have a clothing emergency.
11:44 How to Incorporate Fast Fashion WELL
It’s all about being selective with what you choose to wear. As a classic style enthusiast, you’ll already have an eye for what you do and don’t like, and it’s important to remember that not all fast fashion is “high” fashion. There are also items within fast fashion that can seamlessly blend with a more classically inspired wardrobe.
16:49 Conclusion
It’s convenient and instantly enjoyable, but isn’t the healthiest option. However, when incorporated into an otherwise healthy diet and in moderation, it’s unlikely to do you any lasting damage. Fast fashion provides a stepping stone that fuels interest in classic menswear early on in our individual style journeys. Fast fashion can fit the bill in the right circumstances.

I bought one sweater from H&M under their L.O.G.G. brand and that thing was *bulletproof*. 100% cotton, woven thick, warm and comfortable. Loved that thing. After seven years it only showed its age at the cuffs, which had started to fray. I've never found anything quite as nice from there again, but at least back in my hayday it wasn't always a terrible idea.

@torstikinnunen3801 8 месяцев назад

I had the same experience. H & M can be a hit or miss, but their thick sweaters are usually good and durable. Same with their classic polo shirts.

@lance-biggums 8 месяцев назад

I've owned a couple sweaters from them that have lasted me for years and still look good

@drewsmalley769 8 месяцев назад

Similar experience. I bought a driving cap at H&M while stationed in Germany as a young GI highly durable and relieved a great many compliments on it. It lasted for at least 15 years and a few dry cleanings before it’s untimely demise when a new puppy decided it was a chew toy 😂🥲

@dmitritelvanni4068 8 месяцев назад

I felt similarly about the couple Hollister shirts I had. I didn't expect to like them but they were really cozy and well fitting. Especially compared to the old band tees I always wore.

@sajedrocks 8 месяцев назад

Did you check where your jacket is made in?

@jesusmgw 8 месяцев назад

Sometimes you can find hidden gems in those stores. I have a couple of very classic style H&M linen shirts that after going through my sewing machine look and fit almost as good as my made to measure ones, for a tenth of the price. Sticking to natural fibers is the key here.

@G1NZOU 8 месяцев назад

I agree, I've gotten a couple of linen shirts which fare just fine, and once in H&M I found a pair of decent suede derby boots in my size that had a good commando style sole on them, lined with leather, and on sale for 1/3 the original price, not a bad deal at all and they're an excellent autumn boot.

@ivanlouisjbarrantes1254 8 месяцев назад

This video is pretty much spot-on and one I can relate to as a frequent shopper of Uniqlo clothing with a very discerning eye on what I like and don't like. Whenever I shop there, I only pick those that are conservative and classically styled and I know will last for a long time and I've had great success in having a wardrobe consisting of Uniqlo shirts, jackets, sweaters and trousers that have lasted me for 5 years and counting (possibly because they are mostly made of natural materials of cotton and wool)!

@johnhicks9664 8 месяцев назад

Fast fashion helped introduce me to dressing intentionally. I credit these stores with allowing me to “practice” wearing cheaper items as mentioned in the video. From there often over the years I’ve committed to better quality items which I will enjoy for many years (Ie leather or wool). Good video guys keep up the good work. John in Canada

@nickstauffer42 8 месяцев назад

Yes. I am in this process currently. I bought some cheap shirts from H&M to get out of the routine of wearing graphic tees so I can "dress intentionally" as you said

@topolojack 8 месяцев назад

it's not great, but without fast fashion i never would have gotten into fashion at all. being trendy is in and of itself not a virtue, but exploring trends to figure out what works for you personally is a good way to develop style. i very much agree with saving fast fashion for cases where you need something very specific that you can't otherwise get and may not wear very often -- it's convenient, it works, and we certainly hope it doesn't do any lasting damage.

@billyo54 8 месяцев назад

This is a piece of good advice Preston. Summertime is ideal for pairing a fast fashion item with something classic. My rule is natural fabrics no matter what. Surprisingly, linen, seersucker or light cotton can be found easily and at a very reasonable price. Wintertime is something else though. You cannot get sweaters or coats from fast fashion outlets unless one is prepared to wear artificial fabrics, which I am not. There is simply no replacement for pure new wool or cavalry twill.

@Offensive_Username 8 месяцев назад

If you're on a tight budget and can't find anything that fits you in thrift shops, it's perfectly valid to buy fast fashion. Just don't buy excessively, only what you need, and try to avoid synthetic fabrics (although blended fabrics can't be easily recycled unlike fully synthetic ones). Also fast fashion can be hit or miss. I had items that lasted me surprisingly for years, others didn't make the first laundry cycle. If you have more money, go for fair trade, not luxury brands.

Massimo Dutti, from Indetex, the manufacturer of Zara, Pull&Bear, etc, has been quite a nice choice for me for the last 3 years. Their jackets are 100% wool in most of the cases and their construction has proved to be quite good quality. They even have super 100s wools. Of course, their life span is probably from 6-10 years, depending on how many times you use them. Nonetheless, as a person living in Mexico, where even Zara is considered expensive for most of the population, Massimo Dutti comes as a very good option for someone who likes formal wear. They only have 8 collections per year, so their line of production is not as massive as their sibling brands. If you like Italian cut, and you are on a budget, I would recommend the brand totally. If you are felling more exquisite, and you want something come out of a designer, but still not as expensive as Brioni, Adolfo Domínguez is amazing. He only has 4 collections a year, and produces one of the best linen the ready to wear market has

@paulmcgee1867 7 месяцев назад

I bought a H&M tuxedo jacket in in high school 15 years ago when I have no idea about menswear attire and treat it as a blazer since then. After all I alter the buttons into the metal buttons, then it sort of resembling a jacket from Balmain. So I think sometime these fast fashion items are great for experimenting your fashion sense.

@masterkamen371 8 месяцев назад

Zara has some nice stuff. Most things they sell look horrible and are made out of plastic, but if you look hard enough you can find some nice stuff for dirt cheap. I once found a nice looking double breasted linen jacket for 20€ there. It even fits reasonably well. In other stores it would easily go for 150€. Their pants all somehow fit me perfectly too, so I got a few nice suit pants and jeans from them for a similarly low price. They're medium to high rise too. But larger and older men should absolutely avoid that place, all of their patterns are suited to young and thin males.

@caracallacz 8 месяцев назад

I think everybody has some fast fashion garments in the closet. I personally believe they aren't long-term worth it. I prefer to buy something more expensive that I know will last longer. As long as people don't get crazy buying unnecessary and few-used clothing, fast-fashion will always be an excellent alternative. Ethical shopping is the key, but remember, not everybody can afford products with 'philosophy'

@oliveoil2x 8 месяцев назад

I think ‘fast fashion’ is how most fashion is actually functioning on some level. Even custom, high end fashion pieces are often using parts of the fast fashion process - even when they virtue signal that they track the processes and are so morally above everyone else. It’s a branding, marketing strategy. My friend, who grew up in Vietnam taught from her experience - that the jobs are not all horrible- & ‘sweatshops’ keep kids off the streets and keep them from participating in other dangerous ways of procuring money for their families. It’s been branded as evil- but there may be more guilt tripping and shaming in the ‘fast fashion’ labeling- with the intent to try to get people to buy more expensive pieces- or designer pieces -which are not always better in construction or material. Some economies depend greatly on the so called fast fashion world.

@chrisblanc663 8 месяцев назад

I purchased a navy blue suite online. It is super comfortable, but if I wear a white collar shirt the blue dye from the suite gets on my collar. I usually just wear blue collar shirts and that stops that issue. This will probably be the suits last season.

@karlraffelsieper1232 8 месяцев назад

Love it. Lots of options, fast fashion has its place, but quality over quantity is always the rule. Both my sons have "inhearited" many of retired coats and shirts. I really love natural fabrics, but realize it's not always an option. One option is I am a huge fan of is shoes. Leave the department shoes there. There are many very good shoe companies that offer quality leather, goodyear weltiing that are the mainstay of any mens wardrobes many at very compariable costs. Sure the leather is not ideal but, better than throwing out a pair of shoes because the sole wore out or fell appart. Start there. Even if dress shoes are not your thing, some sneakers will now be able to be resoled is the way to go. I love that what our parents and grandparents knew to be true is still true today. Quality never goes out of fashion and even if you pay more, being able to repair or reconditions or even pass along only comes with quality choices.

@G1NZOU 8 месяцев назад

I generally buy a few things like basic pastel coloured t-shirts and underwear at places like H&M, mostly cause it's hard to go wrong with them and the basic cotton and elastic waistband are made pretty much the same as slightly more expensive ones. In the past I did buy one or two faux leather jackets that were a bad choice, after a couple of years the PU leather started flaking off in certain areas and it really didn't wear well at all. Now I own a single leather jacket and a suede one which were more expensive, but last longer with the right care. I'm sometimes appalled at the quality of some shoes in places like Primark, Next, and even department stores like M&S, where they're made in India, state "real leather" but it's the thinnest layer at the lowest quality, and I can just imagine people who do buy dress shoes from those places wearing them once for an event they needed smart shoes for, feeling very uncomfortable, getting rid of them after only a few wears as they can't be properly cared for and polished, and then buying another pair in a few months after getting rid of them. I also saw a watch in Primark which felt like the thinnest glass when I tapped my nail on the crystal, and the minute hand wobbled a good 4 minutes each side when you moved the watch around, making it relatively useless in its primary job as a timekeeping tool, if the argument can be made that it's only for aesthetics that fails too because it failed to look attractive at all.

I feel that the economic aspect is often overlooked. There are enough people that want to wear bespoke suits and high quality clothes yet there is simply an economic barricade. I don't want to be judgemental but with most of the cast of "Gentleman's Gazette" being on the better side in the economic sense maybe that was the reason why such a factor wasn't giving loads of attention to (f.e. Raphael mentioning he used to collect MontBlanc pens as a teenager). But I don't want this to be the driving point since I could be mistaken. I just often heard that the cheapness could be used for people who want to explore a new style or maybe just wouldn't wear that clothing piece a lot but there is no regard given that for many people these are the only options they truly have. Other than that I am again elated by this great and in-depth video from the team! P.S. The beard looks great on you Preston!

@gentlemansgazette 8 месяцев назад

It was important for us to explore the economic aspect of fast fashion as practically every member of the GG team has had experience with fast fashion as a way to experiment with and increase the variety in our individual wardrobes. Things with an expensive ticket price are still available for those with lesser means, it just depends on the value placed on attaining that item - it may take longer to save for that bespoke suit, but if it's a goal to work towards, then it's very possible 🙂

I proudly boycott fast fashion products because as someone from a Western country, I believe we have an obligation to contribute to the creation and continuation of middle class manufacturing careers. It is the responsibility of developing countries to buy clothes made in such countries while ‘rich’ countries should contribute to the middle class dreams of their countrymen and equivalents in the world. I don’t want to contribute to the expansion of the ‘rust belt’ regardless of the fact that many Westerners don’t seem to care about the decline of their nation’s garment industry and beyond.

They know this is a problem, and they're trying to come up with a solution for when it inevitably breaks in the media as a big issue.

I can't stand fast fashion... The stuff always wears out way faster than I expect.

@alphadream953 8 месяцев назад

its quite hard to find high quality + ethically made + sustainable clothing that also looks good... the brands are out there but you really have to dig

Bruh.. "those last two guys" were wrestlers and that was their gear. I was just thinking about how this channel might be viewed in general... Maybe it was just an oversight, but how do you not check your pictures...

If most people only used Fast Fashion occasionally, wouldn't most of them go out of business and then you would be less likely to find it when you need it? Just sayin'... Not that I think most of it isn't junk, mind you.

[I guess there needs to be a distinction between Fast Fashion and Hyper-Fast Fashion now? We know what's inexpensive but can last a couple years vs. what's truly disposable, blah, blah.]

I get a fair amount of use out of some clothes that other people would probably get rid of I guess. I win?

I have to disagree with many of the pictures of brands being illustrated as fast fashion brands. Many of those are “slow fashion”. True fast fashion brands include: Zara, Forever21, HM, Shein, Rue21.

so much of fashion ends up in the dump, this might bring that down, which cuts cost.

The people that shop at these places need help and education. Even the people from the great depression would not wear these clothes.

I have 7 leather and suede jackets and two wool Cashmere overcoats in my wardrobe . I never have owned any plastic garbage made cloths or garments . Everything I wear is genuine fabric. I’ve been hated by liberal media for my fashion choice and even diet which is consist of meat and dietary products. I’m a heathy and strong 54 years old.

One of my favorite pieces of clothing is fashion: my casual overcoat. I got it from c&a half priced. It is called their archive trenchcoat. It's in a green checked wool blend, doublebreasted, with a belt and ulster collar and it has a quilted lining.
