Most people judge clothes on Temu by the photos.
Big mistake.
The fastest way to avoid buying clothes that feel like cheap plastic is to ignore the pictures and read the Fabric Composition.
Here's a simple cheat sheet:
Avoid (unless blended well)
• 100% Polyester
• 95% Polyester, 5% Spandex
• Cheap synthetic blends
Run away.
These are usually thin, shiny, trap heat, build static, and often feel like swimwear instead of actual clothing.
Look for
• Modal (extremely soft)
• Combed Cotton
• Ring-Spun Cotton
• 100% Cotton
• Viscose/Rayon (soft and smooth)
If you're shopping for specific items:
Jeans:
Search "100% Cotton Denim", "Heavyweight Denim", or "Rigid Denim".
Dress shirts:
Search "Oxford Cotton", "Cotton Poplin", or "100% Cotton Dress Shirt".
Jackets:
Search "Heavyweight", "Fleece Lined", or "Wool Blend".
Vintage clothes:
Look for Corduroy, Heavy Knit, or Washed Cotton.
One last trick that saves me money every time:
Never trust the product photos.
Go straight to the reviews, filter by "With Photos", and look at pictures uploaded by real buyers. That's where you'll see what the fabric actually looks and feels like.
Also look out for promos, you can get stuff for cheap and free packages for a cheap price.
Hope this helps once you understand your size, body, texture or material you're good.
@directedbykwuka@Joe_brendan_ Don’t even dream of procreation if you don’t have the emotional capacity to. The birth control system in Silo (series) wasn’t a bad idea.
@Joe_brendan_ Nigerians should not be allowed to give birth to more than 3 kids and they should be 4 years apart each one and before birthing each one, there should be substantial proof that you took care of the previous and will be able to do for the next. If not no kids

Over two decades ago, my cousin and my best man, both medical doctors, shared a flat in London in the early days after their arrival in the UK. My cousin was dating a very generous nurse who supported him as he took his qualifying exams and searched for a good job.
One day, my cousin's nurse girlfriend was talking to her friend, who was also a nurse, who had just decided to break up with her doctor boyfriend over cheating allegations.
She told the girl who had the breakup that she was foolish and should have waited until they were married and he bought a house first. In her own Nigerian Pidgin English words, "You for marry am wait make he buy house first now."
My guys looked at each other to make sure they had heard the same thing, and that was the end of that relationship.
That whole "relationship for potential" thing sounds like rearing livestock, and feeding them well in preparation for slaughter. The vows "for better for worse, richer and poorer" were meant to remove all externalities from the institution of matrimony. It is the same way I hate men who say that they look at a woman's mother first before they marry her to see if she would change. All of you are not ready.
