As someone who sews, I appreciate how Uniqlo uses construction techniques like French seams and flat felled seams on even their regular lines (as opposed to designer collabs), which are more costly to make, but give better results both functionally and aesthetically. The fact that they don’t cut corners where it’s invisible from the outside earns my respect for the brand, and I have been a fan since discovering it in 2019. Even though sometimes their use of synthetic fibers like polyester and acrylic is frustrating, I would not put the brand in the same fast fashion category as H&M or Zara.

Marie-Ann I want to tell you a wonderful thing that happened as a result of your inspiring videos as I have watched them (old and new) for several weeks now. I have a weight loss that required me to purchase new pieces. I purged out all pieces in my capsule wardrobe that no longer fit and folded them into piles for the thrift store. That is when I found your channel. I replaced with new pieces that are more updated and re-created a new capsule wardrobe with an eye to good staple pieces and simplicity just as you teach. Marie-Ann my husband volunteers at a church food pantry here in the States. He said that the ladies who come for food would love to have my petite clothing so this week he took them in and they took ALL the clothing. He said the ladies put my scarves on and wore them right away! Your inspiring videos have blessed me and allowed me to bless other women who didn't expect to find new outfits waiting for them while picking up their groceries! This is an example of how your guidance is about far more than clothes!

I have found that Talbots tee shirts work best for my style preferences. Good quality and long-wearing when cared for properly, so the cost-per-wear factor applies here. I keep them for more chic outfits. But when I want a thin layer for under a sweater or shirt in the cooler months, for gardening and yard work, or for messy playtimes with the grandkids, I put on an inexpensive tee from (get ready to clutch your pearls! 😉) the men’s department at a big box retailer. They are roomy and comfortable, and if perspiration marks or “washable” markers’ colours show up, I can deal with the stains without worrying about the end result. Nobody’s going to notice them under a sweater or shirt. When they finally reach the end of their lifespan, I cut them into rags and use them for cleaning those really grubby or greasy things that would ruin an everyday washcloth.

I have several white t-shirts from Uniqlo, some thicker, some shorter, with different kinds of sleeves. My favourite is the shorter, boxier one with so-called “French” sleeves. Although Uniqlo is owned by a company called Fast Fashion I don’t consider it that. My Uniqlo pieces have been holding up well for going on six years now and I’ve found some quality pieces there. When I took one coat I’d got on sale for $149 CDN to my tailor to get the sleeves shortened he commented on its quality and said he couldn’t get that quality for his store at wholesale prices. Fast fashion is only so if you buy the lowest quality in a store, wear it a few times and throw it out. I have thrifted pieces from brands like Gap, Joe Fresh (the Canadian Primark), even Forever 21, that I’ve been wearing for over a decade. Denim rarely wears out and some styles never go out of fashion.

Uniqlo makes good quality, modest style clothes with affordable price. I don't consider it a fast fashion brand. When I lived in Shanghai, I used to shop at Uniqlo a lot and the clothes always last for years. Now I live in Houston, there is no Uniqlo store here. I miss it.

As Italian I perfectly agree that shoes Must Be possibly high quality . I think that you can dress low budget but if you have style you can be effortlessy chic, and no one can notice the price of what you are wearing. But at the opposite if you have high quality dress and low quality shoes you will ruin everything.

@littlelady7843 Жыл бұрын

Totally agreed. With shoes, high quality does only come with higher budget. I only like shoes made with natural material : Leather, canvas etc. Now days so many shoes are made of plastic or man-made material. They look shiny and fancy, but my feet don't breath in them. Also they don't last long. I would shop clothes at Walmart or target, but never for shoes.

I love your comment that “chic is for all budgets.” As someone who has supported herself and wanted to dress fashionably I was unable to afford higher priced options in my 20’s and 30’s. I would study those styles and colors and do my best to replicate them on my much smaller budget. I would have been ecstatic to have had more advice on how to show fast fashion yet look chic. There was one tip that I learned and must share - swapping out cheap looking buttons for nicer ones on suit jackets always elevated an outfit at a fraction of the cost or buying a higher priced jacket. That and of course some tailoring really helped.

I like you showing fast fashion items. A few reasons: 1. Style is for everyone. Fashion changes. If i want to try a fashion/trend then i go to fast fashion. 2. Fast fashion does have some quality pieces. With H & M I've ordered 2 linen tshirts. So perfect in summer. I bought them in black and flax. Avoided the trendy colors. They are great for layering or wearing vy themselves. I let other pieces be the pop of color. I see fast fashion as the canvas that allows the paint to pop 3. Fast fashion is affordable for trying a lime green handbag to see if you will even reach for it. 4. I teach preschool. I can wear a $20 white T-shirt and not worry about it getting paint or mud on it .

I'm a huge fan of the fitted v neck tee shirt by Uniqlo. I bought a black one and a white one three summers ago and they have held their shape and look fantastic. The white has stayed white with no yellowing. I think they are super quality for the money and will buy again when these eventually wear out. I wash them in cold water. I treat fast fashion items, if I buy them, like slow fashion and try and get a few years out of them. Being an hourglass shape I love fitted tees. Straight tees, especially with a crew neck, make me feel dumpy and frumpy.

Thanks for the video, Marie-Anne! I check every day if there's a new episode on your channel to watch along my knitting :) Talking about T-shirts (or other garments) - have you tried items from the Rise&Fall? I recently got a few 'basic' cotton t-shirts from them and they seem good quality and price. I'd say better than the same items from Uniqlo, although I haven't washed them as many times yet. As to the 'whiteness' - I've learned they add a blue dye to the fabric to optically enhance the 'whiteness' which then washes off little by little with every wash. Interestingly (if you feel a bit DIY) you can re-whiten them again by adding a drop of a certain blue dye to the rinse cycle of your washing. Haven't tried it myself yet, just sharing, but I feel sad to let go of otherwise good items, especially in current times

I would probably go for the Uniqlo shirt, as I am longer waisted, like it a little more fitted, like a little lower neckline, and like the sleeves more on that brand. Bonus that it is less expensive. The transparency/thickness seems like it might be ok, but that would be an in person judgment. And no matter where I purchase items now (whether others consider them fast fashion or not, and I shop up and down the spectrum), I purchase with the intention of wearing them for several years. Not to say that I never make mistakes, but it’s pretty much been working for me, with your tips keeping me on track.

This is the benefit of buying secondhand: the item has likely been washed a few times, and the sizing is washed out. One gets a better idea of how a garment will wear this way.

I really like Next for my white T Shirts. I prefer a scoop or V neck on myself as some plain white T Shirts with a crew neck can look a bit like I'm wearing my husbands.

It would be helpful to know how all the tees hold up over time as with the Mango one. Thanks for the review.

You are correct about showing items for all budgets, Marie-Anne, but companies like Mango and Zara are gargantuans whose workers sew for pennies in sweatshop conditions. They are also incredibly harmful to the environment. All this info can easily be found online in many areas. It is possible to find affordable items from smaller businesses; maybe for a little more but isn’t it better to have less items of more quality, and manufactured humanely? And then, of course, second hand shops have great finds.

Have you tried Eileen Fisher t-shirts, dear Marie-Anne. They are top quality and last a long time.

Some people only watch YT to make critical comments out of their sense of inferiority - don’t take them personally, dear Marie-Anne! You know your community loves you! I personally try to avoid fast-fashion because they use inferior fabrics. H&M’s shirts are made of very thin, low-quality cotton, for example, that can’t even be ironed properly, they always look terrible. Fast-fashion brands also use a lot of synthetics and I just can’t wear them. But, I understand that some people, like students, can’t afford more expensive brands. I have budget constraints too, so I just buy fewer, but better, items. My suggestion, if one must shop fast-fashion, is to only choose their natural-fiber items. At least they’re biodegradable, and comfortable and breathable to wear. I also suggest sticking to less-trendy items, classics give more mileage, and to a flattering color palette. Most trends this season are designed to promote those dirt-cheap polyester items, as in the sheer and mesh trends. Brands want us to feel outdated, they push new trends constantly, so that we’ll buy lots. I heard a quote recently that I loved “I can’t afford to buy cheap clothes”, and that’s so true, they just don’t last. (Apologies to quote originator, I can’t remember where I heard it).

I recently learned that the outlet stores have separate production lines from their retail stores, so the lower prices are for substandard items 😮... now I understand why my Gap/Banana Republic outlet teeshirts are such poor quality. I recently bought teeshirts from Talbots and Lands End, so much better... excellent construction and substantial fabrics, more expensive but so worth it.

Uniqlo: generally their clothes are very good quality. I am still wearing some of their basic pieces that I’ve had for more than 10 years. The company also donates millions of dollars annually to the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), provides clothing to refugees and host communities in some 41 countries, and in the U.S. supports a clean-water charity.

Dear Marie- Anne, I really Like Your style, that s why I watch everything You Show....allthough I never buy the things You recommend....I can t wear white near the face, because I look sick in white t shirt , in a black Turtle neck sweater I look, as If someone should call a priest....and the biggest laugh is the sight of me in a Breton Shirt!!!!! But I like how You can wear all that!!! And Your tipps for better materials , better quality are very much needed and usefull!!!😊 I Sometimes prefer to look a little wild...or nostalgic....even being over 50! I Don t want to look ,a la Madame ' all the time. But that s just my oppinion.,...and sometimes the ,,Muss Marple Look' is just what I prefere!!!......I am a totally different Body - Type, and need other colours.....but there is so much I appreciate from Your programme. The truth is...Your style looks best for slightly boyish women....small and curvy ones have to find another asthetic......so, Ladies, don t be desperate, If You can t get the ,,MarieAnne Look " exactly right!..... But pick and choose the best, that works for You! And bye the way.....two of the most beautiful french women of all times, Brigitte Bardot, and Catherine Deneuve got a lot larger, while getting older! But Your blog is a great joy to watch, because You put a Lot of heart and truth into it. So I hope to watch more of this for a long time....❤

Uniqlo’s not “fast fashion” as a rule. It does partnerships with Marimmekko and other designers…. Denim is consciously washed to reduce water consumption. The quality and durability are actually very good, not throwaway. MUJI is another Japanese brand I like that like Uniqlo has excellent T-shirts and layers in linen and cotton.

would you be able to compare them after several launderings please, as it’s often only the neck that is on display , so which one keeps a firm rib would be interesting ..

While I am a big big Cos fan ( I have a lot of pieces in my closet from Cos) I am not totally agree about their t shirts. Nice shade of color, nice quality , nice thickness but the neckline doesn’t stay tense, in my experience is corrugated and I don t like the effect on me. Otherwise Uniqlo , another brand that I love so much , has a special line ( Uniqlo U) that is, in my opinion, very high quality (Supima cotton , so silky) and very good neckline, that maintains form day after day and long lasting. I have no t shirts from Mango , a brand that anyway is very funny and globally good taste, so I can not say anything about them. Naturally this is my experience that I shared with you all , but I am basically agree with you dear Marie Anne , sure Cos and Uniqlo are the best

I bought 2 of the COS t-shirts about 2 months ago (in my never ending quest for the perfect white T!). First impression was exactly as you say - thick, beautiful, perfect neckline and length. Unfortunately, even though I am extremely careful not to get any lotions or makeup on the collar - it appeared stained after the 1st wash! I washed it repeatedly with stain spray, etc. always hanging it dry (per instructions - kind of a pain not to be able to put a t-shirt in the dryer too BTW). But the discoloration would not come out. I actually began to wonder if is is actually 100% cotton as the label states. Anyway, the same thing happened to both so sadly I had to throw them both out. Ouch! Please let us know how it performs for you after a few wearing sand washings. Love, love, love your channel. Thank you so much and all the best to you.

Another vote for Land’s End. Eddie Bauer used to have gorgeous tshirts, but now they all are blended with polyester. II got two beautifully soft whit tshirts from the GAP and after two. Washes they were all twisted and shrunk and looked like rags.

In my next life I think I’ll order up a pair of legs on the thinner side, like Marie-Anne’s. It is amazingly difficult to look chic when you are short and carry most of your weight in your thighs. :((. A long flowing top (below the knees) can hide a lot but it isn’t always chic. BTW i think the word Marie was looking for is “sizing” which thickens the fabric in new items and helps them to keep their shape but usually washes out immediately.
