Can fast fashion be stopped

why fast fashion is bad

This terrible business practice has a lot of downfalls, the biggest problem with fast fashion is its pollution, producing 10% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions with its activities, which is a lot.

But there are many other things we can mention about it, here are the biggest problems with fast fashion:

  • Overproduction, it creates a lot of clothes very quickly and many of them end up in the landfill without even being worn.
  • Air Pollution, producing around 10% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions.
  • Water pollution, polluting rivers and seas with the lack of care for the environment while creating these garments.
  • Soil pollution, especially when the garments end up in landfills, decomposing into harmful chemicals and leaving plastics behind that do not decompose if the garments are made from polyester.
  • Consumerism, as it promotes a culture of buy-n-throw clothes as you wish without considering the impact of your actions.
  • Worker exploitation, with very low wages, inhuman working conditions, and slavery-like jobs, is partly the reason why these clothes are so cheap.
  • Stealing intellectual property, this business practice needs constant new trends and is willing to do anything to get them, like stealing designs from independent artists giving them no credit, this has happened many times before.

This list goes on and on, sadly, and the environmental impacts of fast fashion are very bad, but if you want to learn more in detail about the issues with this business practice, we recommend you read Huffington Post’s article on Fast-Fashion.

SHEIN, The Ultra-Fast Fashion Brand

history of the fast fashion industry

This business practice began in the 90s, with a new „revolutionary” method that quickly turned designs from the catwalk to the clothes sold in the stores in just a few weeks.

The pioneer in this business practice was Zara, furthermore, the term fast-fashion was coined in the 90s by the New York Times to describe Zara’s business model and how they turned designs into clothes in just a few weeks or less. If you want to learn more about Zara read our article on this brand and how they gave birth to this fashion production model.

This has helped Zara and the whole Inditex Group, which owns Zara, become one of the biggest fashion retailers in the world, with millions of customers worldwide and many people that buy from their stores every day. This has made their competition adopt the same business model as them and start producing lower-quality and much cheaper garments for a new buy-n-throw consumerism era in the fashion industry.

Today, this model is still at its peak while Zara and other brands are beginning to „greenwash” their activities, which means Zara is telling its customers they are starting to produce more sustainable and ethical clothing when they just are not. They have adopted some „measures” regarding the sustainability of their business and self-imposed goals to reduce their carbon footprint, but there is no evidence supporting the idea that they even care about any of that. And somehow they turned matters worse, not only damaging our planet and exploiting workers but lying to the customers’ faces declaring themselves as „sustainable” and ethical when they are not.

Not so long after people discovered the terrible consequences of this business model and how it affected the environment, also, they discovered how bad workers were treated in the factories producing these garments and began to become aware of the transcendence of their choices and how it affects the world. 

Is Zara a Fast Fashion Brand?

why is fast fashion so popular?

In the late 90s and early 2000s this new fashion model took over the streets, it became a booming industry in America with people enthusiastically going shopping for bags full of clothes, many of them not even being used. Brands such as Zara, H&M, Topshop, and Primark took over high street fashion and became the new norm in the fashion industry.

The reason this business model is still popular is that consumers like the cheap prices of these garments, which are so low because these fast fashion brands outsource their costs to the environment and their workers, profiting from cheap labor and not caring at all about the environment. These cheap prices also let their customers buy more and more clothes that they do not even need for the simple fact that they are affordable and do not suppose a financial burden for the customer.

The other reason is the marketing superiority these fast fashion retailers have, with campaigns that get to their potential customers and ultimately make them decide to buy their products. Sustainable Fashion brands do not have the resources to compete against them and sadly today there aren’t many people aware of the problem of fashion and why it needs to be changed. This is the reason we write this blog, to try and spread awareness so we can ditch the planet-killing fast fashion and turn to a more sustainable and respectable fashion model.

Extending more on that, sadly today most people don’t even know what fast or slow or sustainable fashion means, why fashion needs to be changed, or that fashion even has a carbon footprint on our planet, which is very bad and actually surprising considering the gigantic impact of this industry on the planet. This is why people should start talking more about it, sharing news and articles on social media to spread awareness, because if we don’t even know what Sustainable Fashion is or why it exists, we will never spend our money on it.

At the end of the day, some people argue that customers are to blame for purchasing Fast Fashion garments and feeding an industry that is feasting on our planet, while others argue that companies are the sole responsible for this great issue in today’s world. In reality, we can’t blame any of them, nor the customer who unknowingly wants to save their hard-earned money by purchasing these garments, nor the company who produces the goods and services necessary for our day-to-day lives and created a more seemingly „efficient” production model (Even Einstein indirectly contributed to the invention of the atomic bomb).

What is to blame is the lack of information regarding this subject, the fact that most people don’t even know about this at all. This is why it is crucial to spread awareness on this issue because if people don’t know what fast-fashion is, we will never come close to ending it!

How did fast fashion become popular

fast fashion companies

We know the terrible consequences of fast-fashion and why is it bad, but what brands actually have this business model? Is it really that popular? How can we know if the clothes we buy are sustainable or not?

You may be surprised at first to know how many brands actually practice this business model, even brands you may actually buy from. Well, unfortunately, today it is harder to come across a Sustainable Fashion store than finding a $50 bill in a parking lot (We actually.. did once, but not everyone can brag about something like that), so pretty much most of the big stores fall in this category, but some are way worse than others, as we will see.

Do not worry, we have the answer to these questions. Having said that, here are the most commonly known fast-fashion brands:

The Inditex Group

We put the whole Inditex fashion group here, which owns brands like Zara or Pull&Bear because they all revolve around Fast-Fashion, not only that, Zara is even the pioneer in this unethical business practice and that’s the reason why many people are avoiding buying from them.

Primark

This Irish company is well-known for its extremely cheap (and poor quality) clothes. This is one of the living Fast Fashion examples to avoid. Some time ago they were involved in a scandal where they supposedly used child labor in third world countries, although we can’t and will not confirm that (we prefer not to get a lawsuit).

SHEIN

This brand takes Fast Fashion to a whole other level, we may even e able to say that they have invented the Ultra-Fast Fashion, selling extremely cheap clothes of dreadful quality by the ton. Their manufacturing cycles last only a few days and they monitor, eveand n create trends 24/7 with their strong social media presence. They have been involved in innumerable scandals which with only hearing one of them should convince you to not buy from them ever.

This is a very interesting topic on its own, so we invite you to read our article on SHEIN or Vox’s article about Shein’s Ultra-Fast Fashion model.

Mango

This brand is popular in many countries, and its clothes are worn by many people worldwide. However, its Fast-Fashion practices have led them to be part of the Rana Plaza factory collapse which took the lives of many factory workers, which shows the bad working conditions they are in.

Urban Outfitters

This fast-fashion brand is also known for considering textile workers’ rights as optional and producing cheap fast-fashion clothes. Also, worse than that is that they have also been flagged for stealing designs from independent small creators for their own benefit, which is completely unethical.

There are many other brands that we can name, but these are what we considered the most relevant. As always, if you want to take a deep look into these brands, check this article.

What are some fast fashion brands

alternatives to fast fashion

We know how bad our fashion choices are and the impact of our actions, but how can we avoid all of this and shop sustainably with respect to the planet, the environment, and the people?

Luckily for you, and for everyone, there are many alternatives that offer a sustainable fashion model that does not harm the planet, and the best thing is, you can begin shopping now from the comfort of the internet, from the same device you are using right now to read this! Anyway, here are the best alternatives to fast-fashion:

  • Grammar NYC: This beautiful store sells one of the best clothes out there, not only do they use the best quality materials, but they also make their designs with FASHION in mind. The only bad thing about this brand is its price, which is arguably very high, but at least the quality and sustainability match the price greatly. You can visit their store ntawm no.
  • Two Days Off: This store uses locally produced, ecological clothes made with recycled materials. They use linen, cotton, wool, and hemp for their products. Like the last one, price is not their strength, but they do offer original and stylish clothing. You can visit their store ntawm no.
  • ABLE: This Ethical Slow Fashion Brand has clothing and accessories made fairly by makers around the world. They are taking a big step in the way for transparency in the fashion industry by publishing their wages. Their clothes are more affordable than the other brands but still not as cheap as one would like to. You can visit their store ntawm no.
  • Valani: This colorful Plant-based clothing brand creates mostly feminine clothing for a lighter living. Valani’s dreamy garments are made from low-impact fibers like hemp, Tencel, and banana viscose, a bit like Two Days Off. Additionally, the brand uses strategic cutting techniques and reuses fabric scraps to minimize waste. They have really colorful clothes that you should check out ntawm no.
  • PLEA: This is our own brand! We too offer sustainable slow fashion clothing that you can buy. We mostly focus on t shirts, hoodies, and accessories, but they’re at an affordable price, and not only that, but we offer customizable clothes, That’s right! You can create a custom t shirt, hoodie, or accessories so we can then make them and sent them to you because we use a revolutionary method that does not involve creating tons of clothes before selling them, we just produce them on command! You can check out our shop ntawm no.

This calls for explaining the concept of Slow Fashion and Sustainable Fashion. In simple terms, slow fashion is a movement that opposes to fast-fashion and wants to produce clothes in respect to the environment and the people with a more sustainable fashion model, that’s why it’s called slow fashion.

Zam zam is pretty much the same but focuses more on the sustainability of its materials, using organic ring-spun cotton, hemp, or other ecological and environmentally-friendly materials to create their garments. As it name implies, it aims for a sustainable fashion model that not only opposes to that of the Fast-Fashion but also wants to revolutionize the industry completely.

This is quite a short explanation, we have tons of articles about Slow FashionthiabZam zam that you can read now, you will not regret informing yourself on this subject.

what is SHEIN's business model?

SHEIN is the pioneer of a new type of Fast Fashion, the Ultra-Fast Fashion, and if the Fast Fashion business model was horrible, you may only imagine how bad this new model really is. Furthermore, SHEIN’s business model is so fast that it is considered to be real-time, not only Ultra-Fast Fashion, which is crazy.

Basically, SHEIN monitors fashion trends 24/7 with their strong social media presence, even more, they create trends where there are not any that benefit them by using influencers to achieve their goals.

Afterward, they produce these garments using a super short manufacturing cycle of 5-7 days which is terrible for the environment and the workers, even more than ultra-fast fashion’s 1-2 weeks manufacturing cycle.

Then the clothes arrive at the customers. Another absolutely dreadful practice of theirs is giving their customers bags full of clothes for a few dollars, terrible quality clothes that who knows how they are made to be that cheap and that will be disposed of after a couple of uses, partly because their customers do not need them.

In a nutshell, this is SHEIN’s business model, but there is a lot more to cover so if you want to dig deeper into their business practices feel free to read this article about SHEIN’s business model in detail.

Fast fashion yog dab tsi?

If we haven’t explained it to you later, and you have doubts about what are we talking about, Fast Fashion can be explained as cheap, in-vogue clothing that takes ideas from the catwalk or high-fashion culture and hloov lawv mus rau hauv cov khoom ntawm cov khaub ncaws nyob rau hauv cov khw muag khoom txaus ntshai heev kom ua tau raws li cov neeg yuav khoom xav tau, tsis hais txog kev ruaj ntseg.

This is only Fast Fashion, you can only imagine what Ultra-Fast Fashion does. Anyway, if you want to know more about fast fashion and its consequences on our society,tshawb xyuas tsab xov xwmyog fast fashion yog social teeb meem?

What is Fast Fashion | SHEIN the Ultra-Fast Fashion Model

why is SHEIN so bad?

SHEIN is not bad, it’s horrible, terrible, the worst of the worst you may say. As we said earlier, they have created a fashion business model 1000 times worse than Fast Fashion, which is so horrible and it’s the reason this blog exists. To make you understand it better here’s why SHEIN is so bad:

  • Their clothes last for a few wears if they are worn at all. SHEIN has a model where customers buy so many clothes at once that many of them are thrown without even being worn at all.
  • Their cheap clothes are made with synthetic materials like nylon and polyester, which because they are plastics last for thousands of years in the landfill without decaying.
  • Their clothes are so bad that they do not even have a „quality” at all, this is a well-known fact even by their customers but the ridiculous prices „compensate for the horrible quality of their garments”.
  • Their real-time trend following makes them create 1000 designs per DAY, which next to the fact that their clothes take 5 days to produce, is crazy, and makes you wonder what dark strategies they have to be doing to achieve that.
  • They have no transparency about the making of their clothes at all, which is a huge red flag and makes many people think they have a bigger environmental and social impact than we think.
  • They have been involved in many scandals where they created products of terrible taste, like Muslim prayer mats marketed as „frilled Greek carpets”, for which they apologized but sold a damn swastika necklace only a week later.
  • They steal designs from small designers online, one example is the artist Tiina Menzel (@therese_nothing on Instagram), whose designs were stolen by Shein 6 different times in less than a year.

SHEIN has many other reasons that explain why they are so bad, if you want to dig deeper into the information listed above, feel free to read Jerren Gan’s article on why you should not buy from SHEIN.

does SHEIN care about the environment?

We know that SHEIN’s environmental impact is dreadful, but do they care about the environment and do they plan to change it? Let’s discuss it:

Officially SHEIN says they care about the environment and „they use materials and manufacturing cycles that are sustainable”,in reality, there is 0 proof SHEIN even tries to do any of that. Looking at their business model and the price and quality of their clothes, their statement can’t be further from the truth.

They make terrible quality clothes that are going practically straight to the landfill, without decaying because they are made from plastics and pollute the rivers and seas with the microplastics that wear off from their terrible quality garments. They have basically made cheaper than ever to pollute.

Not only that, the labor conditions of their workers are suspected to be slavery-like, which is the reason they do not disclose that information in any way. They say that „they treat workers with respect to the law” (Which is also bad because the laws vary a lot between countries), but considering their statements on the environment and their actions and how cheap their clothes are, it is no surprise that they may use slavery-like labor.

We are not done yet, sadly, because their impact on animal welfare is also improvable. Although they do not use exotic animal products, they use wool and they do not really care about animals or if their products have anything to do with animal suffering because they do not disclose their sources and do not have any policies regarding the matter.

Overall, SHEIN has a terrible impact on the environment, the workers, society, animals… unlike anything we have seen until now. This is very sad when so many people are in the slow fashion movement to stop Fast Fashion and its consequences. Something even worse is how SHEIN tells their customers that they care about the environment and the workers but make 0 effort to even care.

This is all for today, now that you know more about SHEIN and their terrible impact on our planet, we hope you put this information into good practice and spread awareness in case any of your friends shop from this brand. If you yourself are a customer of SHEIN, please do not support such a planet-killing business model, shop 2nd hand, even from Fast Fashion if you have no other option, everything is better than SHEIN.

Fast Fashion can be explained as cheap, in-vogue clothing that takes ideas from the catwalk or high-fashion culture and hloov lawv mus rau hauv cov khoom ntawm cov khaub ncaws nyob rau hauv cov khw muag khoom txaus ntshai heev kom ua tau raws li cov neeg yuav khoom xav tau, tsis hais txog kev ruaj ntseg.

What are some of the fast fashion brands?

We all know how bad Fast Fashion really is and why it needs to be stopped, but if you still don’t know we advise you to read why fast fashion is bad.

Having said this, how many of the most popular brands actually sell fast fashion? Well, sadly most big fashion stores today sell fast fashion, some of them are even pioneers in this unethical practice.

Here are some of the most popular Fast Fashion stores:

  • The Inditex Group, we put the whole Inditex fashion group here, which owns brands like Zara or Pull&Bear because they all revolve around Fast Fashion, not only that, Zara is even the pioneer in this unethical business practice and that’s the reason why many people are avoiding buying from them.
  • Primark, this Irish company is well-known for its extremely cheap (and poor quality) clothes. This is one of the living Fast Fashion examples to avoid. Some time ago they were involved in a scandal where they supposedly used child labor in third world countries, although we can’t and will not confirm that (we prefer not to get a lawsuit).
  • Shein, this brand takes Fast Fashion to a whole other level, we may even e able to say that they have invented the Ultra-Fast Fashion, selling extremely cheap clothes of dreadful quality by the ton. This is a very interesting topic on its own, so we invite you to read about Shein’s Ultra-Fast Fashion model.
  • Mango, this brand is popular in many countries, and its clothes are worn by many people worldwide. However, its Fast Fashion practices have led them to be part of the Rana Plaza factory collapse which took the lives of many factory workers, which shows the bad working conditions they are in.
  • Urban Outfitters, this fast fashion brand is also known for considering textile workers’ rights as optional and producing cheap fast fashion clothes. Also, worse than that is that they have also been flagged for stealing designs from independent small creators for their own benefit, which is completely unethical.

Sadly, there are many many more examples of Fast Fashion brands, but we have named you some of them and the most important ones. Although many of them say to start transitioning to a more sustainable fashion business model, most of the time these are just empty words, and unfortunately, they do nothing to become sustainable.

What are some of the fast fashion brands?

examples of slow fashion brands

We have seen some of the most popular Fast Fashion brands, but now, what are some of the Slow or Sustainable fashion brands?

Not all hope is lost, and sustainable fashion is becoming more relevant as people become aware of how their shopping habits can harm the environment, people, and the economy. Today, we don’t necessarily have a lot of Slow Fashion brands but we do have some you can buy from, and the good thing is, you can purchase their clothes online!

Having said this, here are the best Sustainable Fashion Brands you can buy from:

  • Grammar NYC: This beautiful store sells one of the best clothes out there, not only do they use the best quality materials, but they also make their designs with FASHION in mind. The only bad thing about this brand is its price, which is arguably very high, but at least the quality and sustainability match the price greatly. You can visit their store ntawm no.
  • Two Days Off: This store uses locally produced, ecological clothes made with recycled materials. They use linen, cotton, wool, and hemp for their products. Like the last one, price is not their strength, but they do offer original and stylish clothing. You can visit their store ntawm no.
  • ABLE: This Ethical Slow Fashion Brand has clothing and accessories made fairly by makers around the world. They are taking a big step in the way for transparency in the fashion industry by publishing their wages. Their clothes are more affordable than the other brands but still not as cheap as one would like to. You can visit their store ntawm no.
  • Valani: This colorful Plant-based clothing brand creates mostly feminine clothing for a lighter living. Valani’s dreamy garments are made from low-impact fibers like hemp, Tencel, and banana viscose, a bit like Two Days Off. Additionally, the brand uses strategic cutting techniques and reuses fabric scraps to minimize waste. They have really colorful clothes that you should check out ntawm no.
  • PLEA: This is our own brand! We too offer sustainable slow fashion clothing that you can buy. We mostly focus on t shirts, hoodies, and accessories, but they’re at an affordable price, and not only that, but we offer customizable clothes, That’s right! You can create a custom t shirt, hoodie, or accessories so we can then make them and sent them to you because we use a revolutionary method that does not involve creating tons of clothes before selling them, we just produce them on command! You can check out our shop ntawm no.

To sum it up, we do have a lot of choices literally in the palm of our hands, so there is no excuse other than not having enough money to quit buying Fast Fashion. Either way, if you want to know more about what you can do for sustainable fashion even if you don’t have money, check out how to do slow fashion.

how can we tell the difference?

If you encounter any brand and you don’t know enough about their background and what business practices they stand for, we have some tips that may help you out.

Here are some tips for knowing if a brand is Fast Fashion or Slow Fashion:

  • Investigate the brand, read articles about them, and read the news to find out about their business morals and practices.
  • Look into their website, and see if they disclose how they treat their workers and if they use sustainable materials for their clothes.
  • Read customer reviews and unbiased articles that may clarify any doubts about the brand.
  • Use common sense, if the clothes the brand is offering are too cheap, they are probably outsourcing their costs onto the environment and their workers, as a fashion store has to pay a LOT of costs, like marketing, shipping, paying wages, the clothes themselves are a small piece of the brand’s costs.

are t-shirts fashionable?

Absolutely! T-shirts have been a primordial item in the closets of practically everyone since the 20th century, so much that we cannot even comprehend what we would wear today if we didn’t have t-shirts.

T-shirts are also one of the most customized clothing items to exist, as practically every t-shirt has some sort of design to decorate it. So much so that plain t-shirts are a lot less common than t-shirts with some sort of decoration.

So, yes, t-shirts can be very fashionable if you pick them correctly, and they are the clothing item that best expresses your identity, that’s why t-shirts are the top choice for customizable clothes. 

which is the best color for a t-shirt?

There are many combinations that fit a t-shirt and complement you well, but there are also colors that generally work much better than others. But this can vary depending on what type of t-shirt you are wearing and even you yourself.

Fun fact, some researchers at Nottingham Trent University have found that men that wear plain white are found 12% more attractive than their other male counterparts, this is because plain white t-shirts slim the waist and broaden the shoulders.

Having said this, let’s review the best color combinations for a t-shirt (although this is subjective and you may not 100% agree). The best color combinations for a t-shirt are:

  • Red and White
  • Blue and White
  • Dark and Light Blue
  • Blue and Yellow (Without overusing it)
  • Red, White, and Blue
  • Yellow and White
  • Black and White (A very elegant choice)
  • Orange and Blue

Now, if we’re looking at plain colors, the best plain colors for a t-shirt are:

  • Dawb
  • Dub
  • Navy (A very pretty color if used correctly)
  • Grey
  • Red (The color of love, this is the most attractive color and should be used at a date)
Which color is best for a t-shirt?

are t-shirts formal?

As we said earlier, everyone uses t-shirts, almost every time. A clear proof of this is that we even use t-shirts as pajamas, so we truly use them every single day no matter what.

However, t-shirts may not always be appropriate depending on the situation you are in. This clothing item can be used in almost any context but when it comes to formality, it may not be the best option as it may seem too casual to be worn.

A buttoned shirt is always preferred in a formal context, but if you want to wear a t-shirt no matter what, here are some tips for you:

  • Don’t wear a collarless t-shirt to any formal or semi-formal event.
  • Wear a polo or any other item that resembles a t-shirt but has better quality and adapts to a more formal context.
  • Wear dark colors like Navy Blue (a great choice for any clothes).
  • Adapt your other clothes to your t-shirt, if you wear a t-shirt or a polo wear pants, shoes and a jacket at the same level of formality.

are t-shirts unisex?

Unisex t-shirts are made to be worn by both men and women, and they are usually the most popular as they are just as good as men’s and women’s t-shirts, but in very rare cases they can cause problems.

Unisex t-shirts are based on men’s sizes, but as we said earlier they are made to fit both men and women, so you don’t need to worry about that. What you need to worry about is if your body doesn’t conform to the universal size standards, in which case you will need to be careful when choosing sizes.

Generally, you will be just fine buying unisex t-shirts, as the majority of people do that. Buying women’s t-shirts can be a good idea if you want a more fitted t-shirt that gives you more curves and form. If you’re a man there’s really no point in buying men’s t-shirts,when they may even be more expensive (although there can be cases where a men’s t-shirt is preferred, this is extremely rare).

Are t-shirts unisex?

Hauv kev xaus, we have shown you if t-shirts are fashionable, what the best color to wear is, if they can be worn at a formal event and if they are really unisex.

why get your t-shirts printed

Getting your t-shirts printed is a great way to add a little creativity and magic to your closet and ultimately, to your life. This can be a great idea to feel more comfortable in the clothes that you wear.

You can print t-shirts with everything you want, from your favorite cartoon or series to your favorite actor (Although this can be a trademark infringement, though world we live in).

And this is absolutely great! Studies have shown that clothes that you can closely relate to last much longer than others, and make you feel much more special. And if you were the one that made the design, this will be especially true!

how to get your t-shirts printed

You can go to any physical store that specializes in printing t-shirts, check around your area to see if there are any (there should), and just say what you want them to print, although the quality of the print can be quite bad.

The other thing you can do is go online and search for services that print t-shirts for you, thiabwhat a coincidence, you’re in one of them right now! Yes, we sell t-shirts online but you can also request custom t-shirts for yourself (more on that later).

The most DIY thing you can do, however, is buy a special machine that prints over t-shirts, you can do that, but it’s too expensive and pointless if you don’t plan on opening some type of printing business.

How to get your t-shirts printed

how are t-shirts printed

To illustrate how t-shirts are normally printed, we will take our own t-shirts as an example:

  • Our production partners help us print our designs, produce ethically made clothing, and ship the products to our customers.
  • We use the DTG or direct-to-garment printing process, which is a printing method that sprays the ink onto the garment. The ink then soaks into the fibers of the garment. It’s like printing on paper, but on clothing.
  • DTG printers offer a lot of color options which means we can print detailed designs and photorealistic images with almost no color limitations, and the result is amazing.
  • DTG is a more sustainable fashion business model than screen printing. Mainly because printing one-offs allows us to avoid overproduction and textile waste. With 92 million tons of textile going to waste in the fashion industry each year, a business model like this is a game-changer.
  • Plus, a lot of DTG printer manufacturers create advanced tech that’s made with sustainability in mind. For example, our production partners also partner with Kornit whose printers produce almost zero wastewater and use less energy, lowering the carbon footprint.
  • What’s more, Kornit printers use water-based vegan inks that they formulate, test, and produce in their own ink factories, maintaining the highest quality levels. The inks are non-hazardous, toxin-free, biodegradable, and contain no animal by-products.

This is basically it, but if you are just planning on getting a custom t-shirt printed, you don’t have to worry about anything of the above.

how to get custom t-shirts

Getting your first custom t-shirt is very easy! You can request it now a t-shirt featuring your cat, your most loved quote, name, or even your neighbor! (We don’t know why you would want that, but you will not be asked any questions).

The first thing you can do is go to our Khw and look around, we have many designs that you may already love, we may even have the exact thing you were searching for in the first place! So feel free to look around, and if you don’t find anything, go to the next step.

The next step is going to our Custom T-shirts section, where you can select any t-shirt and add custom text and even your own image! This function may be limited so if you desire you can contact us at [email protected] and request a special design made for you, at no additional cost!

Do t-shirts protect you from the sun?

Clothes do offer protection from the sun, but this protection may vary depending on the material that has been used, the process of making the item, the color, the humidity…

Generally, clothes, including t-shirts protect you from the sun, the clothes that protect you the most from the sun’s UV rays are:

  • Long-sleeve t-shirts and other long clothing that cover more skin
  • Darker colored clothing
  • Tightly woven fabrics
  • Dry fabrics.

There are many t-shirts that are now made in a special way so that they don’t let that much UV light come through, offering great protection from the sun, this can be checked on the label of the product which can sometimes indicate the UPF value of the product.

You also have to be extremely careful when getting wet, as the t-shirt can lose its protective value dramatically exposing you to harmful UV light for as long as the t-shirt stays wet.

can the sun damage you through clothes?

We said that t-shirts protect you from the sun, kind of, but they don’t do it as efficiently as to completely avoid damage from the sun’s harmful UV light, which could lead to a problem.

Even if you are wearing clothes covering your skin, the sun’s rays can still pass through and cause damage, a rule of thumb is that if you can see through your t-shirt, UV lights can pass as well and damage your skin.

This is especially true if your clothes are wet, as UV lights can pass through more easily and cause even more damage to your skin, which can lead to sunburns and in the worst cases accelerated aging and skin cancer long-term.

So, always stay safe, the sun is not something you want to play with as it can be very harmful to your long-term health.

Can the sun damage you through clothes?

can you still get your vitamin d through a t-shirt?

When the skin receives UVB light it produces a chain reaction that basically gives you your precious vitamin D which is very beneficial to your health and its absence can cause serious medical problems.

So yes, your body does a kind of photosynthesis, but, can wearing a t-shirt stop this process, partially or totally? According to the New York University Langone Medical Center, some fabrics may difficult this process from happening as they are getting in the way of these UVB rays and your skin.

But, you shouldn’t be worried at all, if you normally expose yourself to sunlight for at least a few minutes a day (Which is certain unless you’re locked in a basement) you are fine, what you should be worried about is the damage UV rays can do to your skin, which could be much worse.

If you want to learn more about this matter, be sure to check out this article about Vitamin D.

how to block the sun's ultraviolet (UV) light

Although many times t-shirts protect you from the sun, they are not enough to stay completely safe, and you should not believe that t-shirts protect you in such a way that sunscreen is not needed.

Having said this, the best ways to protect yourself and block the sun’s ultraviolet light are:

  • Avoid long direct exposure to the sun, especially on hot days (You can also check the UV index on your apple watch or the internet).
  • Wear clothes to cover the skin, as we said, t-shirts protect you from the sun, not as much as we would like but they do.
  • Wear sunscreen, this is crucial for protecting your skin from the sun and you should always do it when it’s possible.
  • Wear a hat, this can protect areas in your head that are also vulnerable to sunlight.
  • Wear  UV-blocking sunglasses, which protect areas around your eyes and the eyes themselves, which also need to be protected.

And that’s it! Don’t worry, as long as you’re careful you won’t be at risk, just take care of yourself. Also, if you want to know more about how you can protect yourself from the sun, be sure to check out Cancer.Org on this subject.

why do t-shirts shrink over time?

T-shirts are made from fabrics like cotton and others, who inevitably shrink over time due to the tension that’s applied during the production of the clothing item, when heat is applied to these fabrics, they shrink back to their original size.

This process is not homogenous and the T-shirt shrinks considerably more on the first few washes than in the last ones, when even if you don’t notice, it continues to shrink until it reaches a certain point where the shrinking is negligible

It is also noted that not all fibers shrink at the same rate, and some fibers shrink more slowly while others shrink faster. If you want to learn more about this process, check this article about t-shirt shrinking.

How much do t-shirts shrink over time?

The shrinking that a t-shirt will endure will vary based on the type of material that it is made of, the fabric, the washing process… We have to keep all of these variables in mind in order to determine how much a t-shirt will shrink.

But generally speaking, a cotton t-shirt that has not been pre-shrunk will shrink about 15-20%, getting to 80% of its original size, which can be great if the t-shirt was too small or you are planning to lose weight, but very bad if you just liked the t-shirt the way it was at the beginning.

But that is a lot, and that is why so many stores are selling pre-shrunk cotton t-shirts, which may only shrink up to 5%, which can still be quite a lot if the t-shirt fitted you perfectly at the time of the purchase.

How much do t shirts shrink over time?

what are pre-shrunk cotton t-shirts?

Pre-shrunk cotton t-shirts are manipulated in the production process so that the fibers are already very close to their original shape and they don’t shrink anymore, at least not as much as with pre-shrunk fibers, which can shrink quite a lot.

Unless you plan to lose up to 15-20% of your belly mass, your Tv muscles, your fat… whatever you want to call it; a pre-shrunk cotton t-shirt is your main choice if you still ask yourself why all of your t-shirts shrink. But not only that, pre-shrunk cotton t-shirts are great for many other reasons, Here is why pre-shrunk cotton t-shirts are better than non-pre-shrunk:

  • Pre-shrunk cotton t-shirts are known for holding better their colors.
  • They are absent of the chemicals that may have been used in the production process.
  • Pre-shrunk cotton t-shirts can still shrink, but only up to 2-5% if not washed properly.
  • These garments usually last longer than the other ones because the fibers are not under so much tension.

how to stop your t-shirts from shrinking

We have already discussed why would your t-shirts shrink, but, How can you stop your t-shirts from shrinking? It’s not very hard actually, you only have to follow a few simple steps, Here are the steps to follow to avoid shrinking your t-shirts and garments:

  • Read the label and follow the washing instructions, as improper washing may result in the t-shirt shrinking
  • Dry your clothes without much heat, preferably the old-fashion way, as heat can make a t-shirt shrink.
  • Lower the heat on your washing machine, as we said before, heat makes t-shirts shrink.
  • Buy pre-shrunk t-shirts and save yourself the trouble, this is the easiest fix to this problem.

Thaum twg yog hoodies invented?

Hooded garments can be traced back to medieval times, even long before that. This comes from the indisputable need of creating a clothing item that offers protection for the head too.

However, the hooded sweatshirts or hoodies that we know today weren’t created until the 1930s when the clothing brand Champion created the first hooded sweatshirt designed to keep New York warehouse workers warm from the cold winter.

This clothing item became popular during the 70s, because of the growing hip-hop culture and famous celebrities, which made this garment, especially popular among young men. If you want to know more about the history of the hoodie, visit this tsab xov xwm txog thaum twg hoodies invented, or just go read Wikipedia if you’re like that.

Leej twg hnav hoodies?

Hoodies tau nrov heev ntawm cov tub ntxhais hluas, tshwj xeeb tshaj yog cov tub hluas ntxeev siab. That is because the hip-hop culture was using them as a symbol, and young rebellious teens were all wearing hoodies, which subliminally made us relate hoodies to bad boys, rebellious teens, adventurous young people… Hoodies symbolize kev hluas. 

Qhov no tau hloov pauv li cas los xij, qhov xwm txheej zoo ntawm hoodies tau nce siab rau lawv qhov chaw thiab tam sim no peb tuaj yeem pom cov neeg ntawm txhua lub hnub nyoog thiab kev noj qab haus huv keeb kwm hnav cov khaub ncaws no., rhuav tshem cov stereotype ntawm grumpy edgy tub hluas uas hnav hoodies txhua lub sijhawm.

Hauv kev xaus, hoodies tau dhau los ua ib feem tseem ceeb ntawm peb lub txee dai khaub ncaws, lawv tau daws teeb meem ntau txhiab xyoo nrog cov sweatshirts tsis tu ncua, lawv tau coj kev nplij siab ntau dhau rau hauv peb lub neej ... We cannot live without them.

is it bad to wear hoodies all the time?

Hoodies are the ultimate apparel, they keep you warm and cozy in winter and they can also keep you relatively fresh in the summer, they are fashionable, they make us confident, comfortable… 

So no, wearing hoodies all the time is nothing to be ashamed of, everyone wears them for many reasons, but don’t exaggerate either, wearing hoodies when it’s 100ºF or 38ºC outside is strange and potentially dangerous.

You should also keep in mind the context, wearing a hoodie is not always appropriate depending on the situation you’re in, that’s what we will talk about next.

are hoodies unprofessional?

A hoodie is a casual type of garment, made to be comfortable, stylish, lightweight… You can say it is a clothing item made for the streets, something natural considering its history and how it became popular because of the hip-hop culture adopting it in the 70s.

Depending on where you work and the context, a hoodie may be considered too casual to be worn, too informal, which can be great if you’re a personal trainer but it’s unwanted if you work in a bank or other serious company.

In conclusion, a hoodie is unprofessional if the place you work at requires you to display a serious, strictly professional image, like an insurance or banking company. However, if your job requires you to have a friendly, casual image then the hoodie can be a great choice to achieve that, it all depends on the context, all you need to know is that the hoodie is an informal, casual garment made for wearing at home or in the street.

when were hoodies invented?

Hooded garments can be traced back to medieval times, even long before that. This comes from the indisputable need of creating a clothing item that offers protection for the head too.

However, the hooded sweatshirts or hoodies that we know today weren’t created until the 1930s when the clothing brand Champion created the first hooded sweatshirt designed to keep New York warehouse workers warm from the cold winter.

Cov khaub ncaws no tau nrov thaum lub sijhawm xyoo 70s, vim muaj kev loj hlob ntawm hip-hop kab lis kev cai thiab cov neeg muaj koob npe nrov,uas ua rau cov khaub ncaws no, tshwj xeeb tshaj yog nrov ntawm cov tub hluas. If you want to know more about the history of the hoodie, visit this tsab xov xwm txog thaum twg hoodies invented, or just go read Wikipedia if you’re like that.

do hoodies keep you warm?

Hoodies are great because they are very flexible to temperatures, depending on which part of the world you live in, you can see people wearing hoodies in the summer, in the winter, and especially in the spring and in the fall.

That is because a hoodie keeps you warm, but not excessively, when it’s fairly warm outside a hoodie keeps you cozy and just at the right temperature, when it’s fairly cold, a hoodie keeps you warm.

So, yes, a hoodie keeps you warm, but some hoodies don’t as much as you would like, cotton hoodies normally keep you warmer and if you are a cold-sensitive person, you can always wear more clothes beneath the hoodie so you don’t feel cold.

Do hoodies keep you warm?

are hoodies good for winter?

As we said earlier, it depends on the material of the hoodies. Natural fibers like cotton are great because they keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summer while being very comfortable and better for the environment.

But it also depends on the place you live in, humidity might play a big role, if you live in a very humid place and it’s cold outside, you can wear your entire closet because you will still be cold. If the place you are living has very cold winters, a hoodie might not be enough, but it will definitively help, so just wear a jacket on top of your hoodie if you think a hoodie is not enough.

In conclusion, a hoodie is a great choice for the winter, it is very comfortable, and if you need more protection from the cold you can always wear more clothes beneath the hoodie or just wear a jacket on top, or both if you live in Siberia.

is it ok to wear a hoodie in summer?

Hoodies, especially if they are made from natural fibers, can keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summer, however, wearing one in the summer is not advised depending on the temperature and climate present.

If the place you’re in has cooler, cloudier, rainier summers, you can go on and wear a hoodie without any problem. Even in a sunny day if the temperature is modest there’s not problem with wearing a hoodie, especially if it’s white (As it reflects all rays coming from the sun), if you feel better wearing one.

However, wearing excessive clothing when temperatures are high can lead to serious problems like dehydratation, heat strokes and death, so we advise you to dress apropiate to the weather, which means that if you live in the UK you should be fine wearing a hoodie in the „hottest” days of the year.
