Google it, there are a lot of ethical and environmental concerns about it. Fast Fashion is now 40% of the market and like I said, the clothes are dirt cheap because they are designed to basically never be washed. Wear it twice, throw it away.

Men's Fashion trends do not change that much. The Pea & Great Coats for example have been around for 100+ years. There is no fear that next winter it will be out of style and you'll need a new coat, let alone, next month.... Or decade.

Most of Men's dress fashion is age appropriate 14-90, so in 5 years you won't look like a total dork still wearing a trench coat. As we've also seen young people can rock sweater vests just as well as gramps.

So yes, that Pea Coat from Forever 21 is $68 because it will last a month before the buttons fall off, then synthetic wool balls, the seams pull and pockets tear.

For long term accessories like coats, shoes, hats, belts, etc, it pays to do some research and buy quality. You'll save money and long better in the long run.
