We would never buy these 3 things from a fast-fashion brand

Fast-fashion is an easy, readily available commodity that allows us to try out trends without making any considerable financial investments. However, it’s also an indisputable detriment to the environment and deeply rooted in a system that devalues and underpays its workers.

Here at Stylight, we’re all about investing in high-quality, long-lasting pieces that will continue to be stylish and functional years after you buy them. Whether you’re just beginning your capsule wardrobe or adding to years of fashion investments, these three items deserve way more than what fast-fashion has to offer.

Outerwear

Outerwear, specifically winter outerwear is one of those things that you never truly want to skimp on. Not only does a high-quality coat offer a stylish first impression but more importantly, it will keep you warmer than a fast-fashion reproduction. A summer denim jacket or light trench coat is one thing but take it from us, a warm winter jacket is always worth the splurge.

Jeans

Cheap jeans don’t last, it’s that simple. The friction that your thighs and rear create while walking, sitting, and living will be the rip-creating end of your mass-produced, fast-fashion denim. To invest in jeans that will last longer than a walk to the grocery store, look for higher percentage fabrics and rigid denim. These are the jeans you should buy to save yourself from a chub-rub disaster.

Handbags

A cheap handbag rarely looks anything but cheap. The synthetic materials fast fashion bags are typically made from will quickly show their quality after a few uses. Seams will begin to fray and the creasing of fake leather is bound to ensue with a knockoff bag. Instead, these are the five luxury ‘It’ items with the highest resale value you should save up for.
