I'll save you the read:

1) People are tightening their belts due to economic and political uncertainty and expensive leggings are not at the top of the list of necessities

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

As an avid thrifter, buying second hand is so much better. Since COVID it seems every clothing maker is cutting corners making flimsy cheap clothing that unravel after a wash or two. When you buy from a thrift store, the item has already been through the wash and you can see how it held up, plus you can compare different brands e.g. a shirt from Banana Republic side by side with an Abercrombie etc. which you can't do at brand store. Lastly, it's far better for the environment.

yeah, but now i start at the front of the store - looking for the designer brands rack, which is normally within eyesight of the clerk
