So today I decided to dive into that new Fenty streetwear drop Rihanna hyped up. Figured, hey, it’s Rihanna, gotta be fire, right? Started like any other online shop sesh – aimlessly scrolling through pics on my phone while pretending to watch TV.
The Big Disappointment Begins
First up, trying to actually find the pieces felt like chasing smoke. Seriously, stuff kept flickering between “coming soon” and “oops, just sold out”. Refreshed that page like a maniac. My finger got sore.
Finally snagged two things I thought looked cool from the promo shots:
- A puffy jacket that promised to be the main attraction.
- Some cargo pants looked kinda rugged and useful.
The Unboxing Reality Check
Box finally arrived last week. Ripped it open, eager like a kid.
- Jacket first: Damn, it felt… thin? Like, lightweight winter jacket vibes when I expected something solid. The zipper felt flimsy too, almost caught my finger. And the material? Made this weird crunchy plastic sound when I moved.
- Cargo pants next: Held them up and immediately noticed the fit looked wonky in my mirror. Tried them on – felt stiff as cardboard! Like sandpaper against my legs. Could barely move without hearing that stiff fabric rustle. And those pockets everyone loves? Shallow AF. My phone barely fit without bulging weirdly.
Stood there in this stiff, uncomfortable outfit, looking at myself like ‘WTF did I buy?’ The pics online made it look effortless cool. On me? Awkward potato sack vibes. Tried putting together outfits with my own stuff. Nope. That jacket clashed with literally every tee I own.
Final Thoughts & The Weird Smell
Honestly? Huge letdown. Expected more quality for the price Rih was charging. Felt cheaply made and awkwardly designed.
And the weirdest thing? That jacket had this faint chemical smell, like new plastic shoes, long after unpacking it. Hung it outside my window for two days. Still smells a bit off.
Regret buying? Yeah, kinda. Maybe it looks bomb on the runway models. On a regular person trying to get dressed without a stylist? Total fail. Probably gonna donate that stiff cargo nightmare. The jacket? Maybe it can be a weird decoration. Point is: hype doesn’t always mean quality clothes.
