when i was a child i didn't understand what "fashionable" really even meant. i had certain tastes in how clothes looked, sure, but they were based on something completely unrelated to whatever other people were doing. if they happened to align with popular fashion for a while, i didn't even notice. and i would prioritize wearing only the clothes which i found comfortable to wear and which i liked the color and shape of, because i genuinely didn't realize there could be other factors to consider. brand names and trends confused me completely.

what's cool about having the name/logo of a brand on your clothing? what's cool about looking the same as everyone else? why is that kind of shoe "cool" when it's so ugly and uncomfortable? what do you mean i would look "better" if i followed the current makeup or hairstyle trend instead of doing what i like? i don't understand; none of this makes sense!

this post is both extremely literal and also a clever little metaphor for being autistic and nonbinary.

im going to be so fr.... i hate it when im shopping for something, perusing online or in person for stuff in my size and approximate measurements... and a skinny woman says to me “you should try poshmark instead” 🥺. u should look on there for stuff because it’s second hand 🥺 u should go to good will and thrift stores bc it’s more ethical 🥺 like i really wish u would be quiet bc u know damn well poshmark doesn’t do returns and that goodwill rarely carries good shit in my size. like ma’am, i’m fat and that transforms the ENTIRE way i shop for clothes compared to you. clothes are made for bodies like yours.... i’m expected to make do. 

when I look for new clothes it’s 99% of the time because I have a very specific idea of an article of clothing that I’d like, but I find that most times my online searching inevitably lead me to shein or shein-like sites, which is so annoying. like, they’ve had to have stolen the design from *somewhere* you know? and I’d like to not contribute to absolutely horrendous worker conditions and consumption landfills etc etc, thanks.

the men are SERVING this year oh my good lord

Dress history thought of the day:

We've got to start rethinking what 'sustainable' fashion looks like.

2020s 'sustainable/slow' fashion has a very distinct look that is created in direct opposition to fast/ultra-fast fashion. You know that one—clothes that come in fifty shades of beige, boxy tees, shapeless dresses. Whereas fast fashion comes in many colours and patterns that may clash and fall out of fashion, 'sustainable' fashion comes in neutral palettes. Whereas fast fashion boasts fashionable cuts and silhouettes, slow fashion is supposed to be neutral in shape.

The overarching idea is that slow, sustainable fashion should be timeless. They should withstand the whims of trends. And to achieve that timelessness, many have opted for featurelessness.

Thing is, featurelessness is boring as heck.

Slow fashion only works if more fast fashion shoppers are willing to make the change. And fast fashion offers things that are interesting. How would someone be tempted to make that change, if what waits for them on the other side are potato sacks?

And then you look at historical fashion, at times when people were comparatively more sustainable with fashion than we are today, but still manage to have distinct styles. Mid-Victorians with their wide crinoline-supported skirts. 1890s with their bustle gowns. 1900s with the lingerie dress. 1920s with the flapper dresses. 1940s and their utility suits. 1950s and their Dior New Look. Fashion wasn't ultra fast then; they were sustainable with fashion compared to our modern shopping patterns. Yet they were interesting.

I just feel that for fashion to really slow down again, what's needed isn't the umpteenth conceptual brand boasting shapeless clothes made of organic linen or bamboo silk or something. It's making interesting and fashionable garment that can last through some time—at least a few years, say. And when that trend is over, people are given the opportunity to rework that into something new—what comes to mind first is more readily available altering services, as well as more sewing tutorials.

And sure, this is easier said than done. This definitely isn't going to make anyone a millionaire. But if the majority of sustainable fashion available to me are shapeless potato sacks...damn, maybe I will be tempted to shop at H&M again.

got an inquiry through my job from a publication who wants to speak with me about how cowboy carter is influencing fashion trends hehdhdhejdjxjdjsbdjdkdnd

oh nooo fashion mfers wear workwear as if the fucking royals havent been wearing barbour for like a century

I get that millennial beige is a thing, but I’m firmly on the side of colour in a world that is increasingly losing its colour.

Omg I feel the same I truly hate that race suit. No matter who is in it. The white is awful. I feel like they could make it more blue and that could help? But yeah I hate it passionately

ITS FUGLY!!!! its way too much white imo like i agree they need more navy blue more accents. otherwise…. the vibe is so. baby toddler one piece? Like if they had another navy blue band around the hips, running down the length of the zipper etc.

me and my sister went to the mall today and we ran into hot topic so fucking fast it was unbelievable. me and my sister are literal opposites when it comes to fashion. she picked pink, pastel shit like she was trying to be all uwu kawaii meanwhile im just standing here with my arms full of emo and goth shit, i legit felt like daigo and masato with all this emo drip i had walked out with. (p.s. they should put yakuza stuff in hot topic if they havent already because i have yet to have any yakuza related things in my room </3 also hot topic is like the only store i will shop at)

im so sorry to say these words to you but reading this reminded me of my immortal

Where did you get your degree in fashion, exactly? Wow, Catherine would be soooooo lost without you!

They don't do merchandising like they used to, which makes no sense and perfect sense.

You would think capitalism would want to make more money, therefore make more cool things. But also they want more money so they cheap out.
