Lets be honest: your daughters are a victim of the cheap fashion brands and their succesful campaigns to brainwash people into thinking you need to have new clothed every week.

they are victims of social media influencers, who encourage this behavior

unsustainable and wasteful consumption

the reason fast shopping exists, kids can’t afford new fashion item every week, but SHEIN and others make it so cheap and nice looking that makes this behavior possible

Maybe, but the social media influences I've seen are just as much victims as anyone else. The difference is they've embraced it more fully and figured out how to make money off it.
