Abstract

Background: The Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) phenomenon has contributed to the rise of a consumptive lifestyle among female college students, particularly in fashion. Objective: This study aims to analyze how social media, economic conditions, brand credibility, and accessibility influence students’ consumerist behavior and how the Islamic concept of maslahah can guide consumption control. Method: A qualitative method was employed through in-depth interviews with twelve hijabi students from a state university in Malang. Thematic analysis followed Braun & Clarke’s framework with ethical clearance, member checking to ensure data validity. Results: Social media plays a significant role in creating social pressure to follow trends, but spiritual values and economic considerations act as balancing factors in consumption decisions. The ease of access to shopping and brand image further reinforce consumerist behavior, but people who incorporate the principle of maslahah could limit extravagant lifestyles. Conclusion: The study confirms the role of religious and psychological values in fashion consumption, as well as the importance of Islamic consumption education and financial literacy in higher education to shape balanced consumptive behavior.
