The average German buys 60 pieces of clothing per year!
That’s 5 per month.
It is mostly young people, since the older the people are the more seldom they buy anything new.
If they would be focussed on quality they would buy maybe only around 5-15 items per years.
The stuff most young people buy here is low quality fast fashion, or even worse, energetically corrupted 2nd hand stuff.
So I see the exact opposite here in Germany.
Gen Z are buying low quality fast fashion items en masse. Wear it a few times, then buy new stuff.
Not even to mention that most of these clothes look like shit and are as sexy as text books about international taxation.
This is true actually.
Looking richer – yes.
Sexier – definitely not.
More stylish – also not.
Yes.
And one can tell that it is fake, because they behave incongruently.
So one instantly knows that they are coping with fake stuff and lying to them themselves.
They also don’t realise that when they buy fake stuff, they are re-inforcing their own subconscious “I cannot afford anything” beliefs. Which then leads to the manifestation of even more being broke and feeling bad about oneself.
Wearing fake stuff is like watching porn: one is telling to oneself that one has to use these replacements because they real stuff is out of reach.
