It’s time to get dressed again.
“Will loungewear start to creep into our business and nightlife wardrobes?
(I personally plan to fall into the latter category. )
The time has come to answer that.
But over the course of a long, strange, painful year, the question’s meaning has twisted.
The pandemic has changed the world, and living through it has changed every one of us.
Who are we now?
And how do our new selvesdress?
In lockdown, I experienced style theoretically, through pop culture.
(I stayed off TikTok.
I did not engage withthe strawberry dress.)
But all of that is beside the point now!
It’s time to actually get dressed again, for real this time!
And there’s more truth and poetry in that.”
Soon there will be parties again.
I can’t wait to get dressed for them.
