Slow fashion insight: Why quality over quantity matters?

Slow fashion insight: Why quality over quantity matters?

In a world where natural resources are diminishing, misused and wasted, our actions are more important than ever. Particularly in the fashion industry where sustainable practices are a complex topic and usually not discussed transparently. It is why choosing quality over quantity has become so imperative. Yes, quality can cost more than fast fashion alternatives and it can be an investment, but its benefits easily outshine the initial cost, saving you money in the long run.

Depending on the brand, high-quality products usually involve a more thorough product development process that ensures responsible material sourcing, ethical and sustainable business practices, and fair wage compensation. When you choose high-quality garments, your actions have a major impact not only on your life, but also on the environment and the people involved in manufacturing the products you consume.

Being a conscious shopper gives you the power to choose products that fit your needs and lifestyle. High-quality clothing provides you with garments that last longer while retaining most of the qualities you fell in love with when you purchased them. Caring about the longevity of your clothes will allow you to enjoy your garments for longer, saving you money as you won’t need to replace them too often. It can also help you to reduce clutter by decreasing impulse buying. Pro tip: look for products that can be lived in and loved for a long time.

Caring about your clothing’s life cycle makes you accountable for your impact on the environment. It is important to remember that low-quality clothes and fast fashion are some of the biggest polluters in today’s world. But you can change this by supporting slow fashion brands, like Happy Pants, that care and are actively working on sustainability and ethical business practices within the fashion industry.
