It is better to buy just a few expensive clothes, rather than lots of cheaper clothes. Do you agree or disagree?
A general perception is emerging that purchasing minimum premium clothing instead of a plethora of low-priced alternatives. Although I believe both sides hold substance, I tend to favour the high-valued clothes.
Some assert that exorbitantly priced attires are of finest quality, are long-lasting owing to the workmanship invested into these, eliminating the need for recurring shopping. Moreover, by donning such ensembles, one can achieve opulence and be influential among peers, and hence, leaving an impression where just with a few pieces can make them look and feel elite. For example, when asked during an interview on national television, many showed support for the attire costing several arms and several legs since this impacted their social persona favorably.
Similarly, this practice is often compared to sustainable practices. This is to say, everyday piles and piles of dirt cheap clothes are being dumped in landfills, causing serious damage to the environment: soil degradation; they are non-recycleable items. To corroborate, in Japan, over the last decade, there has been an enhancement in the quality of soil since many have curtailed the usage of cheap outfits and supported costly wear.
Furthermore, manufacturing a large amount of clothes puts pressure on the resources and burns a colossal amount of fossil fuel: clothing is only material that cannot be recycled but is vulnerable to redundancy owing to changing vogues. Nonetheless, If people buy a handful of couture and avoid unnecessary shopping for a multitude of cheap clothes; consequently, alleviating the usage of natural resources, which are limited and precious.
Nevertheless, a group hypotheses that clothing acts as a medium to express creativity, especially among youngsters, who have limited money but want to be fashionable: following such a propensity would engender inequality, and put many at a disadvantage. Also, some tend to purchase a variety of discounted clothes, for everyday use and avoid repeating the previous outfit. However, this can be countered by convincing them about getting one quality attire for the sake of the planet.
In conclusion, disputes aside, buying limited costly outfits is a sensible approach since they are long-lasting, helps one attain an impressive social facade, and also aids the environment.
