Open your eyes because we are about to break certain myths about it so that when you go shopping you can make the best decisions. And let's be clear, we don't claim to be 100% advocates for cheap or high priced designer clothes; this is all about helping you determine what makes the most sense not only for your style, but for your portfolio.

Paying a lot is paying for marketing

False. When you hear that the big brands are not completely well made and that only marketing or speculation and desire around a certain piece are being paid for, remember that many of these designs take months or years to come. That there are various hands specialized in doing this or that job. That the materials can even be unique. What you should always consider is that this is evident; open your eyes wide and learn to differentiate when they want to sell you any cotton t-shirt for thousands, when in reality it is no different from others on the market.

The most expensive clothes should last for centuries

Yes, their quality is usually higher and their life time is prolonged. However, this depends a lot. On several occasions you will have designs in your hands that become more expensive due to their materials, creative ideas and trends. If you're willing to go through with this, buy. But don't strictly expect them to be rock-hard garments. For example, you can have a beautiful cashmere sweater —delicate and complicated to wash— that will make you look amazing at parties or meetings, at the same time as a hyper-resistant common wool sweater that you will wear every day. Both will last in their own way if you take care of your clothes properly.

Cheap clothes can't even last a wash

Of course there are fast fashion brands that are destroyed after the first visit to the washing machine. However, there are very affordable men's clothing labels, whose shirts or pants, for example, can last you five years; while other more expensive ones sell you products with barely a year of life expectancy. It is clear that the cheapest brands reduce their costs by using less expensive fabrics, but it does not mean that their products are not very resistant. Once again, exercise your gaze to identify something that for very little money can work for you for as long as possible.

Faux fur is a cheaper and more sustainable option

Although faux fur has been touted as an ethical alternative to real fur, much of it Most faux fur on the market is made from non-biodegradable, chemical-laden materials like nylon, acrylic, and polyester; which are known to shed microfibers. The garment itself may be cheaper when compared to the price of genuine leather; however, its life time is shorter and you will end up buying a new one pretty soon. Also, don't be swayed by the idea that real leather is a by-product of the meat industry; there is much to analyze in this regard, in conjunction with the skins of vegetable origin.

Ethical clothing is too expensive

False. There are options for very different pockets. Nor do we pretend that paying thousands for an ethical or sustainable garment is a realistic option for everyone, when you can find a very similar one for hundreds in any mall. However, what should be clear is that when you pay for ethical clothing —because you have the opportunity to do so— you are surely paying for a design that will see many uses or wear and tear over several years. And, in perspective, that investment is less compared to the times you go to a fast fashion store. Yes, yes... in a cheaper boutique you can buy dozens of clothes with the same budget, but also take into account that little by little we must move away from the culture of instant gratification (TO HAVE AND HAVE), to enjoy better clothes then in our closet—and stop certain exploitations in the world. Seeks. There are Mexican and Latin American brands that are seriously turning to sustainability and fairer processes.
