Revenge fashion shouldn’t be about being all-out, revenge fashion is being all-you, it’s all of the ever-changing you

Fashionably late. Mismatched clothing. Print-on-print-on-print and much more prints. Pajamas, slippers, and a cosy hoodie. What’s your go-to look when you need to socialize on this multi-hyphenated society we live in?

Re-entering society currently has been a tower of challenges for everybody. There’s the pandemic ad infinitum, the limitless Lazada check-outs and deliveries, the seemingly enticing McDonald’s fries and sundaes every other midnight, after which there’s the unending daydreaming and formulating of what to wear on the rare occasion you do get to exit. That’s what we’re diving into: Clothes. Fleeting moments in the shape of materials hugging your body, keeping you warm, and making you are feeling good about yourself. Is that not why we wear what we wear?

We frequently forget that presenting ourselves outwardly, physically, or nevertheless we would like to call it, has at all times been a part of our day-to-day lives when all the things was still pre-pandemic normal. People take every probability they’ll get to decorate up now and go all-out because they don’t know the subsequent time they’ll have the possibility to accomplish that. Catching The Rona is like buying your next favorite pair of pants—You don’t know when that’s, nevertheless it’s sure to occur unless your luck is maxed out at 101 percent, and your guardian angel’s at all times there, lurking, by your side.

Fashion has a right to exist since it permits the people to define themselves over and all over again. —Ann Demeulemeester

Outfit checks have been at an all-time high throughout this godforsaken pandemic. Now, some people care more about how they present themselves to the world, getting the funkiest button-down shirt paired with ripped jeans and loafers, and all that for a visit to the closest convenience store. After which, some just wear a reliably cozy combo of oversized hoodie and a pair of comfortable slides to the mall—and about anywhere you may consider.

You don’t should be Vogue-ready, or Dazed Magazine-approved to point out yourself to the world. Just wear what you need to wear. If you need to dress up, with none agenda aside from going to the sari-sari store, do yourself a favor and go. If you need to wear pajamas to a flowery restaurant, and even to a date, to hell with those prying eyes. If you need to dress up like your favorite rockstar even when it’s 1,001 degrees here, go wear that leather jacket, use that eyeliner, and feel that passionate heat burning inside you. You possibly can even wear a dress paired with some sneakers designed for long-distance running, to a gallery opening and even your individual exhibit, and still be the good, loveliest, most trendy, and “every-beautiful-adjective-you-can-ever-describe-someone” person within the room.

Fashion, clothing, and any fabric-related item you resonate with will at all times be an additional personal selection. Nonetheless one puts it, clothing yourself the best way you wish says rather a lot about your style, your confidence, and your sense of freedom. There are occasions once you prefer to look objectively presentable, and there are occasions once you just wish to don your colourful blazer and pair it with tattered jeans, and even sweatpants, with some black Birkenstocks to finish the entire laid-back look. You possibly can at all times mix and match all the things in your wardrobe. It doesn’t should at all times be the best look on the web, because almost all the things has been done and worn. It’s only a matter of selecting between comfort and wonder, but surely it might even be each.

The world is your runway. It’s yours and yours alone. You must strut around with the garments you select to wear, to the tune playing in your headphones, and even the loud automotive horns coming from every direction.

It’s at all times a matter of how you need to be perceived and, more vital, how your selection of clothing truly reflects the true you. All the time dress for yourself, and never for others. Who judges your outfit shouldn’t matter. There won’t ever be anything sadder in the event you dress for the approval and validation of the people you simply see through your cell phone screens. It should at all times be for you, and never for anyone else.

Within the words of Ann Demeulemeester, “Fashion has a right to exist since it permits the people to define themselves over and all over again.” That’s the pure essence of dressing up—You might be the one one who can define yourself and your style.
