With today’s fast fashion churning out clothes with shorter and shorter lifespans combined with our cultural love of replacement over repair, we basically already do.
I always find it amazing that people actually give a fuck about fashion and don’t just wear what they like. I don’t get it, fashion is supposed to be a statement about yourself, not about the company that made your clothes. Wear a T-shirt and jeans, wear cargo pants, wear whatever you want because you’re supposed to be making a statement about who you are, not who a company wants you to be.
I grew up in OC, So Cal, and bailed out to a rural mountain area some years ago. I wear jeans, tshirts, hoodies/jackets and either work boots or flip flops on an average day (I’ll still dress up for weddings and other events that call for it). Every time I go back down there to visit, My brother and best friend feel the need to try to dress me like a damn ken doll before we can go anywhere, to no avail and it turns into an idiotic argument every time. I’ve repeatedly explained that I wear what’s confortable, and I don’t give two shits what some uppity muppets think of me based on how i’m dressed. I’m already married, have a great job, and make good money, so I’m not out to impress anyone.
For the record, all of my clothes are always clean and in good repair, I just dress extremely casual and confortable. I think these guys are just so would up in the rat race that they have trouble imagining life otherwise.

Some people eat too much because they are sad inside.
Some people get into drugs because their lives are unfulfilling.
Fast fashion is just another kind of hole being filled by another kind of ‘capitalism makes you miserable, but also you can feel a little better momentarily for $16.99!’
The number of people who define themselves by either their job or their consumption habits… amd usually almost nothing else … is still something I can barely wrap my head around some times.

Advertising is a hell of a drug.
And peer pressure.

Fashion is wearing what you like, unless you’re talking about trends.
It’s already begun… https://www.nuuly.com

I mean, any who engages in ‘fast fashion’ deserves to get taken advantage of to the fullest extent possible.
What a bunch of trite just to feel superior to others who are poorer than you.

Agreed.
