I hate that this is the case but basically everywhere does. Of course individuals should be mindful of their consumption and what their money supports. But unless you're buying high end clothes, you're inevitably supporting bad labor and environmental practices. It is practically unavoidable unless you buy very very intentionally at higher than affordable prices or make your own clothes. I'd rather buy Uniqlo than Shein or Forever21, I think people just have to try to minimize harm as best they can and for me, Uniqlo quality tends to be better than a lot of other fast fashion and therefore the pieces last longer and I don't have to buy as much. Individual action does matter, bit it's also a very small drop in a very large bucket.

@@florasprouti493 I'm not sure if you're aware of it, but that's a straw man argument used by many who don't want to modify their spending habits even slightly. I am not claiming totally ethical consumption is possible under capitalism. I say that Uniqlo is particularly bad. There are plenty that are better, and it is probably useful to to look up what Uniqlo has been responsible for in the last decade alone before making a choice to repeat buy from there. That's all.

If you want to wear form fitted clothes, just go ahead. Your tummy should't stop you from wearing what you want. You can try to figure out if you feel more comfortable in fitted tops, with different cuts, lengths or materials. Usually fitted tops look great with pleated pants, even on a not flat belly. And try shirt with a little thicker materials. And let me tell you, a lot of people have a tummy, so what?

You will love the store!! Hope you find some great pieces ❤
