Selling / designing clothes online

Honestly don't do it, it is way oversaturated.

What kind of clothes are they? Who's your demographic? I'd say try to get black people to buy your clothes if you can. It sounds weird because they don't have money but black people actually spend a larger portion of their income on luxury goods than white people( and Asians I think) and it doesn't really have to be quality to attract them. You just need the right image. If your company is small, it'll be easier for you to copy designs of popular items, but remember, a lot of fashion companies make most of their money from accessories.
To be honest OP, the market is really tough and you will probably fail. However, this company may help get a job in a larger clothing company doing design or marketing, but you need to really make those connections.

If your product is actually unique or different in some way you can break in but it will be slow going

Assuming your ideas are truly good you can actually build a decent company if you work at it

I'm gonna help you out.

You don't need to make the clothes yourself. In fact, it's easier and cheaper to run a business if you don't. Look into a print on demand website such as Printful. You'll be able to upload your own designs, and then they'll make them for you and ship. Then you can set up a store on Shopify and display your designs.

When someone buys from your store, you simply place the order with Printful and they'll make the shirt using your design and ship it straight to the customer. And you can trust a website like Printful to make good quality items. If you wanna know more, just Google Shopify and Printful. The technical side of things is quite easy and a lot of it can be automated. The hard part is actually making good designs, and then being able to handle marketing well.

Don't know if anyone will read these replies today but here it goes. If anyone else is reading this will give some more insight into my ideas.

I design a mix of streetwear with basics, something that could appeal to both teens and people in their 20s, and possibly 30s. Think Asos-tier stuff but less "safe". I look at 90s clothes and what Justin Bieber wears to draw inspiration, but without focusing exactly on anyone whilst still trying to appeal to most young people who are into fashion.

The 90s look already made a comeback around 2012-2015 but it still has a good amount of influence, and also a lot of things that JB started to wear usually catch on after a few months, even if at first people laugh at him (remember when he dyed his hair blonde despite how bad it looked? well go into your nearest city and witness how many young people have done the same now).

All that said, I'm still trying things out and until I've produced something in real life then it will be hard to say what I want to do.

It's impossible to make anything 100% unique, but I believe that if you take what's appealing right now and you "do it right" then you should be able to achieve some interest in your work.

I looked into this early on but both Shopify and Printful's prices are too high to make a profit. No one will pay 25€ for a basic graphic t-shirt on Gildan or Americal Apparel. It's about 25€ without adding my own profit yet. When/if I start out, I want the price as low as possible to incite people to buy, as long as I can make my investment money back.

I'm certain you can have some mild success selling funny or interesting graphic t-shirts using a system like that, but if you want to actually make a brand and hopefully gather a small following then it's not the best option.

A lot of things I want to do involve oversized garments and DIY modifications too.

If you had a brand or some e-fame or something I could see it working. Other just selling cool tshirts? Yeah cool I might buy one but honestly the clothes market is saturated and without either a Brand/Celeb to push it, or a wide enough demographic, you'll struggle to make decent profit
