Asos has been a goldmine while I've been looking for workwear.

Could somebody more involved in fashion pleeeeeease explain to me why these things are designed and sold? Do they pump them out to fulfil a quota?

The last photo looks like the femme version of a 2000s bully. Show up to the job interview and steal the interviewer’s lunch money-look

All of these people look homeless and drug addicted. As if they went to goodwill and found a ‘suit’ from the last rack of random trousers, shirts and blazers, and just took whatever was there that they could get into.

I truly don’t understand this trend for wearing ill-fitting clothes applied wrongly. Trousers so wide you could fit two of you in each leg, and guaranteed to trip you up in the slightest breeze. Shirts on men so tight that one slight inhale will pop three already straining buttons. Sweaters on women that are too long to be cropped but too short to be regular length, three times wider than they need to be and with arms that could double as scarves and an extra jumper when needed, all finished off by a random handful of the thing haphazardly stuffed into the waistband on the front somewhere as the rest flops free.

It’s as if there’s a fashion for allowing idiot children to get dressed in the dark in a random chestful of your mad aunt’s old clothes. Since when is looking like you can’t dress yourself in any way cute? The handful of jumper random waistband stuff especially makes me rage.

I feel old. Just wear clothes that fit, you fucking retards. How difficult can it be?

Influencers, man. Not even once.
 
I know it's a cliche to complain about this but I'm at the DMV rn and out of twenty or so people I'm the only one not wearing stained sweatpants.

How lazy are you people?
That's just what the DMV deserves. It'd serve the DMV right if someone showed up coated in cow shit and rolled around on every surface
 
I HATE this makeup look.

Wrong shade of foundation on purpose doesn't contour the nose. You just look like a drag queen who smeared Dorito dust on your face. The uwu Rudolph nose and the blush makes it look like she's suffering from jaundice AND yellow fever. I can also see she's wearing a weave. Same women will say you have "cum skin" while looking like this.

so the idea behind a lot of this boxy/baggy ill-fitting shit is literally because most of the supply chain line cant be fucked to cut and sew more "complicated" patterns. fashion industry is going to try and sell you on the idea that these shapes and often shittier choices of fabric are meant to be more inclusive of the poor, obese shopper, but the truth is, companies dont want to fucking pay $1 extra for higher quality fabric (meaning, natural fiber over all this composite fiber you see in fucking everything) and they sure as shit dont want to bother with cinches and tapers that cant be done with residual material in the supply chain line (IE, a scrap of fabric thats lying on the cutting room floor) so fuck you, get a tailor if you want your garbage bag to fit good, you fucking sack of shit (PLEASE BUY OUR CLOTHES WE LOVE OUR CONSUMERS)

i fucking hate this industry

EDIT: theyre also going to tell you that a lot of idiotic choices in clothing design is done with climate change in mind. it means absolutely nothing. the fashion industry just wants you to shut up and wear the $400 garbage bag.

ASOS is fast fashion. There are still a lot of interesting and complicated garments that are being made with proper materials, but the consumers you're talking about don't care and aren't willing to pay up.

I think the ones I screenshotted go beyond just "one shape fits all" though. It seems like they're trying to imitate high fashion. These massively oversized blazers

are like something you'd see on a catwalk; who is wearing them irl? What event do you wear something like that to? If you're attending some fashion person event where it wouldn't be out of place, would you not also buy it from an actual designer brand to prove your cultural credit?
 
Skinny dress\suit pants. Demonstrated by sir McGregor:

It's becoming more popular among regular people and it looks unfitting for official attire

P.S - His pants aren't tight because his thigh muscles are big - the pants themselves aren't spacious enough. I know by experience, I'm an athlete myself - no dress pants I have cling this tight to my legs.
 
Women's button up shirts, bottom 2-3 buttons are not buttoned up, and only one half is tucked in while the other just dangles. Makes you look retarded.

Sadly, you’re right.

The polyester is amplified as well because of some retarded EU rules now on the percentage of fibre that has to be recycled. It’s really only polyester that’s easy to recycle, so polyester it is (and it’s cheap!)

As a petite, I detest the boxy oversized look more than I can express and it’s just not going away. I don’t have much time these days to sew as much as I’d like, I really want to be able to buy RTW and there’s so few places that do nice, well fitting natural fibre basics that aren’t cut for a Mr. Man
 
i recommend the following if you want clothes of better quality/standards... and i also recommend it to give this shitty industry the finger it deserves

  1. buy your clothes locally, and second-hand if possible but
  2. dont buy from stores like goodwill/savers/salvation army. just fucking dont.
  3. know your size in inches/centimeters because the better quality clothes are probably going to be from a few decades ago and they had different sizing metrics then. size 8 pants now is not what a size 8 was in 1978.
    1. also know that clothing from a few decades ago doesnt have any give to it (because its not blended with elastane) so shop with your body and its water-retention/bloat habits and bullshit in mind
  4. if fabric on a label is more than like 3 syllables, dont fucking bother with it. and dont buy anything that is STAIN RESISTANT or WRINKLE RESISTANT or ODOR RESISTANT because its been treated with chemicals that are making the frogs gay
  5. invest in a good pair of fabric scissors, a denim needle, strong thread and a fucking leatherworkers thimble. and other accessories like magnifying eyeglasses and headlamps and whatever stupid bullshit that will make you more comfortable and confident in altering clothes by yourself. its easier to do than it looks. it still sucks to do. dont aim for perfection when altering your clothes unless fashion is the name of your game to which
  6. dont get involved in the fashion industry if you love fashion. its designed to rape everyone involved but especially, the earth
 
Motivation for this?
Yeah like I understand the ethical concerns people have about Goodwill/Salvation Army but I'm not seeing how this factors into the quality of the clothes you might find there. It's also not uncommon for other thrift stores and consignment shops to poach at these two for the sake of reselling.
