/fa/ - Fashion

This has been discussed millions of times on here, most effay has an undying hate boner for h&m for some reason. You can come across some good shit there though, especially basics and some pants

the more i get involved with "fashion" the less i buy from h&m, at one point you realize it's shit, so yes, as someone who used to buy a lot of H&M, it's shit tier. Only good for basics and some jeans.

>>10677018

But are they shit quality? Because they look shit quality. Especially the sweaters Ive seen in there.

>>10677024
>>10677027
What would you consider an affordable/good quality store?

>>10677018
>>10677024

Lets say Im copping basics for winter, and I iive in hick Midwest, the best mall in my area only has H&M, the Gap and Macys, as far as department stores go. Where should I go?

>>10677027
>shit quality
define shit quality

it won't fall apart, but the materials aren't that great and yeah it's cheap quality

>>10677035
idk my man, i'm from europa

>>10677044

Gap.

>>10677027
Its hit or miss honestly almost like thrifting or something. Ive personally never had a problem there. I got a pair of $30 dollar pants from there 2 yrs ago and theyre still one of my favorite pairs, i like them just as much as designer pants i own. They also have some good flannels and dress shirts for cheap. Just dont dip into the imitation streetwear shit they have, its pretty wack

>>10677044
h&m isn't that bad but don't buy shit like this:
http://www.hm.com/us/product/38066?article=38066-A
http://www.hm.com/us/product/19407?article=19407-C

Don't buy anything with a print and that's it, shirts from H&M have a good fit tho, so you can't go wrong with them but the quality isn't that great
Surprsingly jeans from H&M aren't bad at all
DON'T BUY SHOES there tho, never ever.

just don't buy anything with prints or sayings or dumb shit like that and wait for sales, they'll start around christmas

h&m is fine you just have to know whats shitty and what isnt. lots of the tricky ricky ripoff stuff from the divided line is great and lots is not, you've just gotta try on stuff you think looks cool and decide for yourself. as far as quality goes, its not the best (obviously), but following the washing instructions has kept everything i've bought just fine for at least a year, usually more.

tldr decide for yourself god damn is it really that hard

Hey are you from illinois?? I work at one out here and the majority of the clothes are shitty, but the basics they consistently put effort into. If you're looking for statement pieces, then try elsewhere, unless you buy from the trend line which is only sold in select stores and online. (which is also hit or miss)

why would you consider buying their shoes? I mean, half of them are on hangers? Who buys shoes on hangers?

Every time I shop there, that's the one place I never bother to even step into. Not just because their designs are just cheap knockoffs but they are pretty shit quality. Not even worth it's price.

That being said, I like their shirts. Their t-shirts are like what? 5.99-7.99 USD? And they're pretty good. I have several that have lasted me years. They fit well and are good basics. And like what anon said, their jeans aren't bad either. If I want cheap jeans I usually just stick to the tried and tested Levi's (510's usually since 511's and 514's seemed to be a little looser now). The last time I went into an H&M, their jeans were surprisingly decent. Particularly for the price.

>>10677018

? i'm relatively new here but i see tons of H&M fits that go through uncriticized

>>10677013
Quality is garbage and the designs are poor rip offs. So Yeah, it's shit

>>10677013
Lol I hate everyone who works there too lol

>>10677719
hm employee here, nooooo to the shoes.

you should be fine with the rest though!

>>10677013
2bh it's where I get my pants from since I'm /bulkan/ and they won't even fit me 6 months from now

>>10677013
It's ok actually, love their basics.

If you are skinny it fits like shit.
Mass-production for Chads with them being either skinnyfat, fat or having lots of muscles.
They don't even offer XS size, ffs.

>>10679440
>They don't even offer XS size, ffs.
pls be Asian or underage

>>10679443
I am 174 cm / 50 kg.
Nothing from H&M fits properly.

The pants/jeans are alright.

The blazers/suits have rly low armholes, I hate that shit. Also too much shoulder padding. Both signs of cheap retail suiting. In a pinch tho, and for <$200, u could get a suit if u rly needed one.

I hate the fit of their basics, huge collars and weird fit overall.

They DO make XS in some items.

Pic is a leather jacquette from this season, 34R i'm 5'7 130lb so it's hard to find something that'll fit tight/small on me, which is the look i want

>>10679447
I'm 5'9/160 (so 174cm/73kg) and I wear a medium

How are you even alive pham

>>10679454

Gratz, you just look like every other gimp in the street.

>>10679454
Hey bby let me pound your boipucci, small guys like you turn me rock hard ;)

I think its okay

They put out some really nice shit from time to time. Their quality isn't the best and some shirts/jackets/pants etc stretch after a while. I got all my work pants from them., they're all 20 to 50.

>>10678055

why are they all such faggots? theyre always standing hanging out with each other, which is fine for a few minutes, but Ive never seen a store which consistently has such shitheads working in it

>>10679447
>>10679455
nah, I understand this struggle
69in masterrace 150lb, still somehow end up having to get XS or suffer S having a bigass piece of fabric just hanging off the back like a flag

>>10677018
>>10677027
Their quality of the materials is 5 dollars worth, since thats why they are retailed for $5

>>10677354
>tfw failed the phone interview

fuck
how can i ensure i get a job there when i apply again in 6 months?

>>10679954
Thank you for your input

>>10677013
The quality is hit and miss and a lot of their stuff is cheesy and bad. Its good if youre low budget and starting ou

>>10677024
this, I used to not get the H&M hate but as ive started investing in nicer pieces the low quality has become way more apparent. I still have some H&M but i wear it a lot less often, mainly some tees and beater jeans

I like H&M over other mall brands because it isn't so pretentious with branding

American Eagle, Abercrombie, all those other homogeneous brands are about the same quality yet charge double and are guilty of horrendous branding

H&M isn't a badge of belonging to some middle white American upbringing like Hollister or Hurley. it's just the epitome of what fast fashion should consist of--serviceable quality basics and cheap trendy clothes that allow financially compromised people to take risks with their wardrobes and experiment

of course there's the whole human rights part but hey my life is built on far worse cruelties than a sweatshop in Bangladesh

>>10681414
not to sound 2 edgy but ethical consumerism is a myth in a capitalistic society anyway m8 so fuck it dude

>>10681479

care to elaborate

>>10679454
god damn i hate leather jackets.

>>10681479
A link was posted detailing the working conditions of fast fashion brands, H&M had B+ to A+ ratings in terms of wage and treatment of employees.

anyone have these they look nice imo

>>10681622
employees as in people who work stores

all the 2 cent an hour cambodians work on contractual labor and therefore aren't employees

>>10681642

>>10680646

>>10682673

>>10682673

>>10677044

fuck H&M, shit falls apart

>>10682731
nah it really doesnt though,

>>10681770

no, i have friends, i just don't stand around making it obvious to customers that im getting paid to do jack shit at my job

>>10682731
Idk what the fuck do you do to your clothes but mine are still fine after 2 years.

>>10682673
I found this jacket when I was there a few weeks ago, you should totally buy it anon

>>10682673
Their chinos are great beaters. Wear them when you go out and don't wanna dirty up your good pants.

>>10681642

>>10679454
