/fa/ - Fashion

doesn't make you look like a fuccboi

>>11869605
cheaper, generic, reliable

Doesn't fall apart in a week

>>11869605
H&M's business model is to product copies of designer stuff at low cost and keep up with the streetwear scene

Uniqlo's business model is to produce basics at a low cost at as high a quality as they can manage

which seems better

>>11869616
hate this meme
literally 99% of clothes not from aliexpress dont fall apart in a week
>>11869605
because its japanese and we're on /fa/
its good
not great
theres a retarded amount of instant coffee connoisseurs on /fa/ here singing its praises but at the end of the day its still fast fashion

>>11869605
Not much
Shit's made in China so quality is still pretty meh and it's equivalently immoral as h&m and their ilk in terms of sweatshops and shit
Find a place that makes good basics from where your from and be ok with a very slightly higher price
A basic tee made in Canada for example should only run you up to around 30 CAD

I wish they never adjusted their sizing to fat american asses

>>11869637

Chinas manufacturing status is not sweatshop tier. They are paid a decent wage, even if they might be overworked. I think 23,000$ is about the yearly salary for working in the factory.

That said, H&M stitching makes me want to hurl.

>>11869678
Cotton is terribly sourced tho

>>11869684

Depends on the piece I think. The airism shirts are god-like.

>>11869678

I wish I was skilled enough to work in a chinese factory

>>11869686

Well, the conditions are also horrible. Sounds pretty fun desu, better than bangladesh where your shack blows over and kills you and everyone that you know.

the socks and the underwear feel really good

>>11869688
The Chinese have more options of where to work now thanks to free enterprise. It's places like Indonesia, Bangladesh, etc. that are shit now

>>11869715

The important factor about chinese labor is definitely that. They can leave if they wish to, and work some place else. Most dont, but that is because they are coming out of poverty. Isn't some Uniqlo stuff made in Japan?

>>11869724
>Isn't some Uniqlo stuff made in Japan?

The more exclusive stuff, yes.

>buying basic shit

>>11869874

How else do you develop a wardrobe anon? Start basic. Build up different pattern's over it.

>>11869625
I dont think you know what fast fashion means

>>11869874

>Not being a poorfag

>>11869874
>spending money on clothes

>>11869874
i agree anon fuck starting out basic i first ascend into effayness by buying a 10k kiton suit

>>11869874
I don't care enough. I'd rather buy a bunch of ammo rather than one pair of overpriced pants. I've been wearing H&M clothes for over seven years and nothing has ever torn, even under heavy use. I did have a pocket rip one time in a pair of pants (luckily not the one I had my key in). Then when I got home I stitched it up and haven't had a problem since.

>>11869625
It's not a meme. All my H&M shit starts to fall apart after a few washes. Colors fade, seams rip, and you can just tell from the material that they're low quality. I don't buy from them anymore

>>11869933
Ive had some h&m shit for over 6 years that has held together. If you were talking about forever 21 then maybe.

Uniqlo is still better quality tho

>>11869613
UNIQLO isn't really cheaper than H&M per se
e.g. basic sweaters on uniqlos website are 35 and on H&Ms they are 30
uniqlos winter coats start at 100 and 120, H&Ms start at 80
etc
but yeah, just buy at both stores, bc that's what you are going to do anyways

>>11869909
why are you on /fa/

Uniqlo isn't androgynous enough for me. H&M's pants are like borderline leggings. It's great.

Quality, clothing. Hm is shithole.

>>11869605
>MFW not a single uniqlo store in my country.
I can still order online though.

>>11870001
>fashion isn't the number one priority for my expendable income therefore I should not be on /fa/

I was going to get some plain ts in h&m or targets brand shirts which arnt bad. There isn't a uniqlo here in the south so I don't know much about their quality.

>>11870001
70-80 percent of peoples here wearing hm/Zara/thrift garbage only.

OP if you have shit from both try reviewing the pieces you have, like you dont have to publish them or anything just write down a quick review noting quality after a few weeks/months, fit, value, anything else, and then compare the brands based on those reviews and draw your own conclusions.

>>11870010
>uniqlo has 3 shops in Germany
>all 3 in Berlin
those japanese business wizkids

>>11870141

They're opening one in Stuttgart next week.

>>11870141
I think they would gain a lot by opening their shops in Easter Europe (Poland for example) where people think that h&m is a pretty good clothing company. We have some clothing companies of our own but I would still like to see how the quality of uniqlo is.

>>11869684
Ive had nothing but good experiences with my supima, dry pack t and supima t, among other things. To be honest, it almost seems like theres no point getting the supima ones over the dry pack ones - the dry pack ones seem to be very good quality for the price while supima is still good but diminishing returns.

>>11870204
polandfag here, recently bought some stuff from uniqlo. really nice socks, merino sweaters are nice enough but kinda thin

>>11870265
i like the supima ones, to me they feel a bit heavier? and the fit is nicer?

for the extra $2, I think they're okay...

aynone been to the unilqo in Toronto?
any must get recomendations from there?

much better quality
clean and basic designs for the entire wardrobe instead of fuccboi givenchy and fear of god ripoffs

>>11870318
Chciałbym aby uniqlo otworzyło kilka sklepów w Polsce.
It's sad that there are mostly fast fashion stores in here.

>>11869605
It'd be a lot better if I didn't have to go to fucking London to find a store.

>>11870790
What I do with uniqlo is mass buy grey and black t-shirts and ocassionally some chino shorts... i have a few other things i've bought from them but yeah

The cuts are nice, especially in the new UUUU-collection, and the reason they can do better cuts is that they order insane amounts (for example the coat is double faced w hidden stiching). But you're fooling yourself if you think that the material will be great for a 149 € coat. Or a to have a great 25 € sweat (a manufacturing of a GREAT sweat is around 25 € / shirt if you have a good relationship, + the markups, so nope, not going to happen).

These are not good quality basics, they are well cut mid-quality basics (at best). If you want better quality you will have to pay more, there is absolutely no way around it. If you want good quality basics, look at brands like Maison Standards for example. Very decent prices considering the quality.

>>11870710

they have the Uniqlo U line which is pretty tight, otherwise it's a zoo so don't rush to get there

>>11870978
>Uniqlo U line
I'll have to give it a check
was gonna drop by for the stretch jeans and casual white long sleeve shirt.
just started browsing /fa/ recently, been dressing prep for a while and looking to transition a bit

>>11870924
>UUUU collection

Uniqlo = cheap and basic.
H&M = cheap and basic for homos.

I'm serious. I went in there and all of their clothes seemed to my pleb mind to have faggy touches to them.

>>11869637

THIS TRUE AND WOKE

THERE IS NO ETHICS IN CAPITLISM NIBBAAAA

>>11869907
>suits

>mfw the 2016 cut for supimas has a stupidly long torso

jcrew broken in slim is the best cheap tshirt desu, about $25

>>11871167
that's a bold statement

>>11871167
>stupidly long torso

manlet, pls...

>>11871167
>manlet problems

>>11870141
>>11870204

lol there are 10 uniqlo stores in Moscow (+1 temp Uniqlo U) and 4 in Petersburg, they popping up like crazy.

For basics you can't really go wrong. Their underwear and t-shirts are solid.
