Honestly so frustrated with the lack of women’s clothing style options in NZ. Basically every clothing store only sells fast fashion - plastic clothes - but at such expensive prices. Not only that but I feel that all the current clothing designs are super ugly ESPECIALLY the options found in Zara and H&M although all the other options available are not far behind - all cropped, see-though, potato sack looking dresses, weirdly rectangle shaped clothing. Maybe this style of clothes would look ‘interesting’ on a runway but trying to find a stylish top or dress that can actually be worn in public is ridiculously difficult.

When there are decent designs, 9/10 times it’s made of 100% polyester or something variety of synthetic fabric. Otherwise, it seems brands like to reserve the natural fibres for unflattering potato sacks.

I feel as though other countries just have better access to decent wearable clothes (or at least more variety) so why can’t new Zealand (I already know why but still 🙄)?

Bit of a rant but yeah 😞

Typical.
