A waste of money. If you buy things just because of a brand's name or popularity, I'm going to assume you're a brainless sheep that just wants to "fit in". Lose that mentality, be your own person and fuck the naysayers.

Not strictly true. I have a couple of Lululemon gym t-shirts. 2nd hand, £10 each. They wick sweat brilliantly, dry out quickly, and don't stink if you have been wearing them for a few hours.

I wouldn't dream of paying full price, but the materials and build quality of the items are far better than the cheaper fast-fashion alternatives.

The only time a brand should really matter is for critical use. Unbranded defibrillator? No thanks. Going mountaineering? Don’t buy from temu. Motorbike helmet? Not from Shein.
