I remember when things were just called pleather. Now everyone and their mother sells things as "vegan leather." I'm interested to know the actual environmental impact of a leather bag vs a pleather one, especially because the life of the leather bag is 20x longer (hellooooo vintage Coach ❤)

@michaeladickson Ай бұрын

Vintage coach forever and always 🥹🫶🏻

I believe (not an expert just someone interested in fashion sustainability) pleather or vegan leather is actually much worse from an environmental standpoint. Plastic, which pleather is made out of, takes much much MUCH longer to biodegrade than real leather as leather is considered a natural material. I appreciate the sentiment against animal cruelty especially in leather products, but it’s so much more sustainable and environmentally friendly to shop second hand leather. Sidenote: there is also a lot of real leather available in thrift stores, vintage shops, etc. And even if you did want to buy new, there is a lot more sustainable real leather brands available today than there was in years past (Not even considering the amount of waste created when making pleather pieces)

@luizafranz 13 күн бұрын

On the topic of "why not thrift leather if it's already an item that exists in the world", the most simple answer is this: a lot of people feel weird about wearing what used to be the skin of an animal. That said, I agree that "vegan leather" is nonsense and we could be wearing other materials instead. Everything is very tricky though. For example, I sometimes shop at organic basics. Their production and their cotton are sold as sustainable, right? But a few months ago I learned that it takes 8.500 litres of water to make 1kg of cotton, 24% of the world's insecticide market is used for cotton farming (polluting water supply) and 20% of the world's cotton comes from Xinjiang (forced labor and loads of deaths). So even though organic basics is doing a better job than most brands, they are still inherently unsustainable... I feel like the best we could do is shop second hand and avoid overconsumption (the amount of huge thrifting hauls I see on social media is insane). Ps: highly recommend reading Worn by Sofi Thanhauser.

@bunnyboo6531 Ай бұрын

"Exposed" zippers are usually put on clothes for functional purposes. Hidden or invisible zippers are an option but you eventually have to switch them up over time because they tend to break easily. Buttons are more elegant, but no one could do them up alone if they are on the back.

LOL was instantly ready to comment about the hunting camo before you even said my name!! I totally see the weird class dynamics with that trend too (I also had a lot of people share in my comments that they've seen it a lot in the queer community as like a subversive expression of masculinity which makes so much sense to me, but i feel like as it's risen in the mainstream it's kinda lost that context & sense of subversion) PS: THANK YOU for ur comments on polyester lining oh my god I so agree

people selling/wearing the FFA jackets as a fashion statement is NUTS to me. I went to high school in rural Florida and even if you asked me today at 31 if I wanted to wear one of those in a blinding snowstorm with no other options for warmth I'd probably still hesitate before I put it on 😂

Michaela!!! How could you?? Floral jacquard has my heart 💗 I love wearing a skirt that reminds me of my granny's old cushions in her "good sitting room" that was mainly used for entertaining our visiting American relatives.

This was so refreshing! I hate Crocs and there is literally a line out the door sometimes to get into the Crocs store at my mall. I simply don't get wanting those hoof-like, chunks of plastic... also agree on hunter camo but liking army camo :)

@orangelemontwist Ай бұрын

Ugh the polyester linings! Especially on nice 100% silk dresses, so much for the luxurious feel. And the description is all about the premium fabric and sustainability to justify the price, at least have a rayon lining then!

The exposed zipper on your top can be replaced with an invisible zipper by a tailor and you'd only lose less than an inch in the over all circumference of the top.

THANK YOU!!! This was the most validating video I share so many of your icks. I am constantly cutting out polyester liners leaving only the zipper if there is one in my wake and then wearing my own cotton / silk slips under them and they usually look cooler anyways!! Also the zipper, yesssssssssuhhhhh!!! 👏🏻

Fabulous video as always. Totally agree about polyester linings. I went to uniqlo for the first time today and a lovely cotton/linen dress I tried on was ruined by the synthetic lining, the feeling made me scream on the inside 😅 so crazy.

Crocs are definitely acceptable in the garden my friend. I don’t want the mosquitoes to get my toes. They last forever and are super comfy. But I gotta say, I used to be you. Not on the crocs train. Until I hit 45 and became a mega gardener. What I am saying is there is time for you yet. 😂 Otherwise, you and I are ick compatible, and I love your channel. Subscribed. ❤

I'm soooo with you on the polyester lining as well! Living in Arizona and reaching over 110F on a daily basis during summer, wearing Linen or Cotton with a polyester lining is UNBEARABLE! I just rip it out if possible 😂

@shironerisilk 8 күн бұрын

I WILL rip the polyester lining if I truly like the item. Most linings are awkward (in size and placement) to be honest, because brands are lazy. In tops I don't really care if people see the outline of my bra - women wear bras, live with it, it's not obscene (unless I'm in a place where that would be highly innapropriate like at work or a church, then I will wear something opaque). I'm still conscious about panty lines though, but then I will wear nude underwear or boxer shorts :)

@valentinapoluda2894 23 күн бұрын

my biggest ick right now is dresses made out of layers of fabric. when a skirt has 2+ horizontal stitches that are sewn together instead of a single piece of fabric that would be enough to make a full skirt. looks incredibly cheap and tacky, as if there was no enough material for a whole piece. it doesn’t add to the style of a skirt/dress, and if it’s patterned, pattern doesn’t even match when the pieces are sewn together. infuriates me. and another one is no lining in a dress/skirt or a knee length lining for a midi/maxi length dress/skirt. so so cheap!!

Michaela, You’re spot on about the work ware! Not that long ago people who wore certain work brand garments worked jobs to withstand the elements. Similarly, back in the day those who drove a truck did so because it was actually used for its intended purpose (tow, haul, plow, etc.) nowadays…… not the case

I am a Wisconsin girlie as well and recently thrifted a ridiculous pink real tree camo shirt. I thought that it was super funny. What is the purpose of pink camo? A forest or trees at sunset? I live pretty rurally and my son considers the kids who actually wear camo to school to be “hicks”. I hate the racing jackets…but I also worked for years at Road America. After dealing with the people who race cars and having seen the money and wealth and culture that goes with that…no thanks.

I agree with all your pics except for the crocs. Too bad the world thinks they are ugly. I have bone spurs on my heels and they are so very painful. I have all kind of styles of crocs shoes for this reason, though I get most people that bash them are talking about the clogs. I wear the clogs around the house as slippers. I have had 2 pair now for over 25 years. They last forever, I can't say that for any other shoes I have ever worn.
