I'll save you the read:

2) People are more and more... GASP... Buying second hand clothes !!!!!

They’re closing because people buy directly from China through Shein and whatever other companies. They don’t get charged tariffs because it’s under a certain amount. Forever 21 can’t compete. So people may or may not be buying less clothes.

Yep. SHEIN and Temu are notorious for copying brand name clothing… at least half the price.
