Dressing for fun

Putting on clothes is one of the few built- in ways to have fun and be creative in your life without going out of your way to pick up a hobby or pursue a creative passion or career. It’s how you start your day, every day. So take advantage of it! So much of life is about practicality, because the implications of risk-taking have real impacts on your life – makes sense. Exploring and taking “risks” with your style is a fairly low-stakes way to break from that a bit and let loose.¹ Now, I’m not saying you should go from full norm-core to runway fashion. But for god’s sake, it wouldn’t kill you to try on a couple statement pieces and see what magic may happen! Picking from a stable of staples is boring, like eating the same meal every day. Sure, that meal might be comfortable and filling, but is it FULfilling? So many people make up rules for themselves (“this color isn't good on me”) and they end up arbitrarily limiting themselves.² If you like the color, it can look good on you! Now if you wanna dabble, try getting a themed party going. It’s easier to take the plunge when everyone else is doing it, and it’s almost impossible not to have fun dressing up in something novel. Try thrifting with a friend that is either already more exploratory than you or open to changing things up. It’s fun as hell to try stuff on, even if you don’t buy anything! Also, hot tip for the people who wear “men’s” clothes… the women’s section is way better!³ So much more variety in style, shape, fabric, etc. I was going to write more but I’m sick as a dog right now. In conclusion, have fun ♥️ P.S. This is in no way a personal dig at anyone who has a Superman closet. Just trying to encourage those who might wanna take a bolder step! ——— ¹The degree of this is certainly dependent on who you are, where you are – what pressures you’re facing. ²These types of rules may be culturally-imposed and personally internalized, so no shame there. ³This may be more restrictive for bigger bois, which points to an issue in women’s wear: they don’t make nearly as much variety in larger sizes, which is bullshit 🫤

1. Look at lots of inspo and break down why you like those fits. Think drape, color, material, etc. be specific af. 2. Pick 3 adjectives to describe your style. You can think of it as what that type of person would wear, or maybe the vibe of the clothes themselves i.e. artsy, architectural, outdoorsy. 3. Look at what you already like wear. What feels like you? Do deep dives (secondhand 🔥) to find interesting pieces. e.g. Ivy is cool af but I really just wanna wear trail runners and fleeces. Who is doing that well rn, or was doing that in the past? 4. Keep it small. Hot or cool institute put out a paper a bit back that said keep it to 85 pieces (including shoes but not accessories) if you live in a 4 season climate. Theres creativity in constraint, and as a plus, it keeps you from buying a bunch of stuff you don’t really vibe with.

literally just if it feels good to you

you don’t necessarily have to be maximalist or anything to have that shit on. most of it is in the attitude. make sure the clothes aren’t wearing you <3 my shopping strategies are 1) shop less and 2) make sure i can make at least 4-5 outfits with a potential piece before buying. then it has a context in my closet i will use pinterest for inspo but use it as a jumping off point, not as a means to flat out recreate what u see
