Slowcore HQ

Been feeling this mistrust of the secondhand maxi vibe for some time.  

What are the slowcore takes on sustainable fashion? Oxymoronic? Is degrowth a buzzword?

French fashion techniques.

Buy a few, key, expensive, quality pieces.  Wear often.  Take care of them.  They will last forever if you do.

This will require you to get beyond the obsession of wearing new things every day/week/month.  You will be happier for it.

I feel you.  I have some pieces that work well for a season and then go into a box for a couple of years until I am ready for them again, or pieces I donate after a couple of uses because I don’t need them anymore.

I think the key is to have some foundational sense of style and then allow yourself to have accent pieces that are less permanent

I’m with you. I keep my (not luxury expensive) clothes a long time. But I can’t shake that there’s a place for variety though. Feels human to want style development and to respond to the changes of the world with what’s the easiest communication of your identity. It could just be, well, slower.

Good take. Taking the time to understand and find a personal style over chasing every fashion trend helps
