In fact, despite statistics that suggest millennial and Gen Z shoppers care deeply about sustainability, the fast fashion market is actually growing-and the clothes are getting cheaper. The вЂњrace to the bottomвЂќ has totally ruined our perception of value we literally have no idea what our clothes (or food, or anything else) should cost, and low prices have become so normalized that we donвЂ™t even second-guess them. Someone is sewing that T-shirt, and theyвЂ™re being paid pennies.вЂќ Fast fashionвЂ™s exploitation and hidden supply chains arenвЂ™t new revelations, but when we talk about the mistreated workers or the environmental impact of disposable clothes, weвЂ™re ignoring a third impact on the consumer. вЂњI can crunch the numbers, and even with the cheapest fabrics, I donвЂ™t understand how itвЂ™s possible. вЂњIt really blows my mind,вЂќ Ryan Roche said on a recent call. It would be reckless to claim that every low-priced good was made by an underpaid laborer, but itвЂ™s also just simple math. The person who made the T-shirt, on the other hand, is a lot easier to exploit. How is it possible that all of those materials, logistics, and people amount to just dollars or cents? Many of those costs are fixed the price of cotton isnвЂ™t negotiable, even at scale. Read that again, and the idea of a T-shirt being вЂњworthвЂќ $5 might seem preposterous, if not criminal.

From quality jewelry to clothing, here are the investment pieces that will stand the test of time and may even be history in the making. A classic trench coat will always be a wardrobe staple in transitional weather. Maybe the watch or ring you buy now will become a family heirloom, or maybe itвЂ™s something youвЂ™ll want to wear for decades. A classic piece that feels perfectly aligned with your style tends to age with grace, making it feel even more valuable as time presses on. Buying quality jewelry is not just about achieving a good cost-per-wear ratio- investment pieces are about longevity too. In the long run, itвЂ™s more advantageous both economically and for the environment to invest in fewer, more expensive pieces crafted to withstand time, rather than indulging in trend-forward pieces that may not hold up physically or aesthetically after a few wears. ThereвЂ™s merit in investing in timeless pieces like quality jewelry and clothing that are built to last (even though purchasing a Cartier watch may not always be plausible).

But if youвЂ™re one of the lucky ones who has access to a private pool or outdoor space, swimsuit season will carry on. For me, it feels like a way to hold onto some semblance of normalcy- even if the reality is that weвЂ™ll see more swimsuits on rooftops and balconies than at the beach. And yet, IвЂ™m still dreaming of colorful bikinis and sleek one-pieces. Now, in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, itвЂ™s looking like this summer will be different. Finding a new bathing suit (or two) was part of the fun in preparing for the warm summer days ahead. There were summer vacations to pack for- not to mention Memorial Day- and days at the beach to get excited about. The stylish combination will make you feel like youвЂ™re sunbathing alongside the Mediterranean-just donвЂ™t forget the SPF! The search for the best swimsuits for women would normally be well underway by late May. Antsy types who like to keep active will love a paddle ball set, while those who wish for a day of leisure will enjoy lounging in a cabana-inspired, striped sling chair and a coordinated sun umbrella. Your snacks and drinks will keep cool for the entire day from the first wave until golden hour, guaranteed.

Foodies will appreciate proper picnic essentials like a portable cooler and an insulated thermos that holds two bottles of wine, with reusable glasses to match.

WeвЂ™ve found plenty of chic items you wonвЂ™t mind lugging to the beach, including the canvas and netted totes that will hold all your summertime necessities. For those who are in need of a cooler you wonвЂ™t hate carrying in public, boldly printed beach towels, or some glass-free drinkware, youвЂ™re in luck. This year your beach bag may look a little different, as a breathable, linen face mask and hand sanitizer are necessary additions-but youвЂ™ll still need the classic gear. As we enter July, you may have begun to dust off those rusty lounge chairs or dug out some old towels, preparing for a long weekend at the beach. If youвЂ™re clunking around in a helmet it should be an effective one. MIPS helmets look the same on the outside, but are internally built on a вЂњslip planeвЂќ and are designed to better protect your brain from impact. Multi-directional Impact Protection System).
