@studiotottie: Polyester was once marketed as the fabric of the future. Now, checking the label and finding 100% polyester can be enough to put something straight back on the rack. So how did a miracle fabric become something people are embarrassed to wear? #polyester #fashionhistory #fashionpsychology #fashiontok #culturaltrends

georgi :

it smells!! makes sweat smell so bad

Ashleena Texas :

Everything is polyester now n I hate it

Margotagog0 :

And it will never biodegrade. Those cheap garments are permanent pollution.

Julia :

Also: there’s something so interesting around naturalness bias when it comes to fabrics

I think it's cause it lost the use a bit LIKE THEY ARE specific types clothes that need to be not made out of cotton like bathingsuits but when every damn company uses it for idk hoddies, tshirts BAD it's not made for that it feels disgusting

Kelsey🩷 :

People read polyester assume it’s cheap different quality of things being sold

Yung cha-millionaire :

Polyester happened because of washing machines fun fact

Raymond Juarez :

It became embarrassing when brands began charging $1000 for a poly dress

Hey :

Watching this made me realise that when it came out the culture was to preserve their clothes for years and the promise that a piece would last forever would have been so exciting 🥺 can you believe we just throw out or change up our wardrobe like that

Vee :

Wow that’s true I haven’t ironed anything my whole adult life

Banaanakin :

the problem is they charge way too much for plastic !

MankleYourAnkle :

When i wear cotton and natural fabrics i smell fresh and like flowery body wash all day. I wear polyester and within a few hours BO starts to kick in and if ive worn it all day then yeah the BO has grown stronger and im sweating so much too. Its freaking embarrassing and i try to avoid wearing it.

choux choux :

Almost all my vintage designer clothes have polyester including a Dior raincoat

Mishal ✈️ :

I try to collect as much clothing in natural fibres as possible but im not really too bothered if im wearing polyester

Que Bert :

personally I love a good polyester blend shirt (anything that means color not fading) but I do get the hate

Tigerlily :

I didn’t like it in the 1970s and I don’t like it now.

StylistVictorLopez :

It’s not the same

Adalia :

Cotton is just better quality

Pluudud Born :

Optogenetic Barbie :

Polyester used to be an awesome material for blended fabric. Now everyone just uses 100% polyester, and it feels like crap.
