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?

Yes, I feel that. And like a true fashion bore I liked it better when people thought it weird that I (or, rather, my mum when I was little) shopped second hand :)

I think the intentions of the movements were good, but like all movements, it got co-opted by consumer capitalism.  It's still about fashion and being trending, which to me are sort of antithetical to slowing down.

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.

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.
