More than 1,000 shoppers queued outside H&M’s Singapore flagship store when it opened in 2011, excited to become its first customers.

Facts:  While H&M clothing may be bought at affordable prices, the quality is also up to par with up to 50-100 washes. 

2. While making it affordable allows you to buy more, the power of cheaper prices, it does not force you to buy more & more.  

3. Fast Fashion is unlikely to go out of fashion with millennials mainly because it isn't a style of clothing, but an emulation of the current in style trend. Unlike Adidas, Polo, Gap, Nike which has a "set" look. 

Analysis:  H&M makes affordable clothing at great prices, they do not force you to continuously buy new clothes all the time. You equally can't blame McDonalds for having a $1 menu and loading up on cheeseburgers. Affordable prices allow the lower income market to also wear good fashion and look trendy which make society a much more equal standing. Win - Win 

Conclusion: Buy H&M
