Hello! I have an issue:
TLDR: I live in E Europe and would just like a site or app where I can shop for good quality, consistent, reliable, brandless, fashionless, timeless, standard, printless, good material, fairly priced clothes.
I usually like to buy bulk (2 long house jogger pants, 5 t-shirts of the same brand and form, just different basic colours, 2 black jeans, 7 pairs of socks of the same kind, 7 pairs of undies for example) and get it over with.
The closest i have found are C&A and H&M so far. I’d like even more simplicity and a bit better build quality.
“Fashion” conglomerate apps both second hand and new, contain the opposite of what i want in clothes: overpriced, varying quality, brand heavy, print/logo heavy, exotic cuts, weird colors, dated, impractical clothes.
I dont like needing to visit many generic online shops and flip the coin on build quality, and i dont like going to many online stores and finding the simple, honest clothing i like scattered one-three items on each brand.
I specifically want to avoid popular labels because that costs extra and the price is high for the label, not for the actual item of clothing.
Is there one app to unify this for me, or is there a company that just has fair prices and no fuss? And by no fuss, I also mean, i don’t want some brand that sells me a white plain t-shirt for 100$ and makes this precious pageantry out of minimalism.
Sorry if i come off as bitter, but it’s really difficult for me to just find simple stuff, and i am already fed up with it being such a chore after half a life. Simply because i have such simple requirements, its very difficult to find what i want.
Thank you in advance.
Surprisingly true - my last Lidl visits had me looking into their clothing-isle longer than expected.
YES! exactly. But that’s also half my point: Lidl, C&A, H&M, Decathlon, waikiki, underarmour, sinsay, salomon… thats already a lot of places we need to either digitally or physically go to browse through.
If you think about it, most minimalists either
hate shopping and would love a one stop shop for their needs. currently you end up visiting more places because you know exactly what simple things you want, than some shopaholic who will just buy whatever is at hand wherever they randomly find themselves shopping and wear it for a while. (here the minimalist hates the way he has to spend his time)
are addicted to shopping and is their main struggle trying to become minimalistic - and browsing 10 shops instead of 3 like they used to - which will only make it harder for them to step away. (here the striving minimalist will hate the way they feel because they’re basically investing even more time in shopping than they used to)
