Do you have any particular preferences regarding the clothes you wear? Also, how do you go about choosing your outfits?
The criteria for selecting clothing varies from person to person, encompassing aspects such as design, color, silhouette, texture, types of fabric used, brand, production location, and price range. Of course, there are many who may not have an interest in clothing or fashion at all.
I believe many people pay attention to current trends when choosing their clothes. If one wants to follow trends at a low cost, they might consider checking out fast fashion brands. In particular, nowadays, when looking at online shopping sites of fast fashion brands, one can find items at shockingly low prices that are typically sold in apparel shops within shopping malls.
No matter how inexpensive a product is, there must be some profit for the seller. Concerns arise in my mind regarding whether the wages of the workers who manufacture those products are being paid fairly and whether there are any issues with their working conditions.
