Relationships & Clothing

I feel a lot of times when I talk about clothes it has to do with an individual and their direct relationship to the clothes they wear. While I love this connection we as individuals can have with our clothes. I think that one of the most important aspects of clothing is how it connects and weaves us in with all the people around us.

I am feeling a bit of nostalgia at the moment and that is where I am coming from when I write this. Thinking about how our friend groups can influence our way of dress and there’s almost a style in the group. Or clothing that is gifted to us. Often times things we wouldn’t think to wear or buy on our own that become integral to our wardrobe. The feeling of being connected with other people through our clothes. I think as much as I dislike “trends” and the commercial aspect of them, I think that there is kind of something nice of being able to look back as a history and say “Remember when everyone was wearing that!”

This is a short post, but hopefully today you can think of a garment or garments that make you feel connected to old friends and some memories you had together.
