From glamour to creepy, from corsets to bell pants, fashion went through all the trends in the last hundred years. What else is new? Nothing. There's really nothing to follow to fit in. And no vestimentary clue for the future generations to figure out in what decade your picture was taken. Now, you can mix and match all the trends of the century and come up with your own style.
So, what does that tell you? Should you feel scared like you lost part of your identity and purpose? On the contrary, you should feel liberated. Fashion is becoming less and less about theatrics and more about your true self. When haute couture desperately parades aberrant outfits on the catwalk, it's time to realize that the industry is on its last breath. More and more don't care about what fashion designers dictate anymore. What they care about is their own authenticity.
The only way to go after hitting rock bottom is back up. At this point in time, humanity starts getting tired of external validation and, instead of spiraling outward, it's going inward. Vestimentation follows the same direction. Fashion is no longer about creating an imagine and being trapped into a character changing from season to season. It's about intention and the message you want to convey. "This is me and this is what I want at this point in time. Take it or leave it."
Your personality can't shine when you're focused on showing off or fitting into clothes you don't belong in, just for the sake of the occasion. Once upon a time, if you didn't wear a certain dress length, a certain tie width, or certain heels you were looked down upon. Those times are over. Lack of substance comes and goes. For one hundred years only some clothing and accessory items stood out and became staples in everyone's wardrobe. Why? Because the people have spoken. What didn't serve them went to thrift stores and, most often, piled on the landfills. And the more consumerism was pushed upon the world, the more the world turned its back on it.
The trend today, if you can even call it a trend, is what fits you. The cuts, the colors, and the prints that match your vibe and your physical traits. Feeling good and happy about yourself is the key to being irresistible. And more and more people are noticing that. When economy is tight and spending on glitter is becoming a luxury, you start realizing what matters most. You finally rediscover the values that stand out time.
They used to call people who didn't care about trends "old-fashioned". The garments they wore were called "classics". In a derogatory way. But - oh, the irony! - at the end of their lives, their eulogy always mentioned, "he or she always dressed in style". And, coincidentally, these were most often the people who had their life together, and a stash in the bank.
So, let's not pretend we are avangardists in any way. We are just rediscovering what has always been right in front of our eyes. The apparel industry must cater to us, not us to its ego and bottom line. We want to break free from illusion, delusion, and the consumerism that put us in survival mode in the first place. But we still want to look good while doing it, because it's human nature.
Grandma's flattering bodycon dress will still turn heads for you today, like it did for her in the 60's. Add to this the high quality of the fabric and you are winning on all fronts. Because what people like grandma knew, before commercialism took over, was that a better quality, even more pricey, would pay off in the long run. A staple piece acts like a blank canvas for accessories and combinations that reflect the mood of the moment. And it should be in your closet for as long as possible.
In the past, getting a tailored garment was a reason for celebration, a real event. People had more appreciation for their clothes and being put together. Industrial scale cheaper clothing lines put an end to that. The illusion of options, variety, trends, and reinvention didn't make us look better like we all expected. It made us look - just like the clothing lines where it came from - cheap. And the more we tried to keep up with the trends, the more out of style we've become. Because style is not about what you put on you, it's all about yourself... Your personality.
A new way of life also brought in the concept of casual. And to make it more profitable, they called it fashion - casual fashion. This is when the idea of comfort anihilated esthetic and many totally forgot how to dress. Cheap jewelry also became fashion jewelry for the same reason, profit. But grandma never wore it. Nothing less than silver could last and be passed down to newer generations. Grandma's wardrobe was never a wardrobe. It was a trust fund with a solid investment strategy. The wealthy still use it today.
However, t-shirts and sweats aren't going anywhere. They've become wardrobe staples, sometimes even bedazzled and with silky feel. Just like the blue jeans, they made their way up on stage and social events reserved in the past only for tuxedoes and evening gowns.
This is why print-on-demand merchandise has become so successful in the last decades. T-shirts, sweats, and hoodies surpassed the idea of comfort, transitioning into self-expression with messages, vibes, and personalization.
At Seasonally Yours we go a step further in value. We don't want you to feel just comfortable, we want you to look good and feel good overall. The fabrics we use are of a higher quality and most of the items are handsewn. Our jewelry pieces come in stainless steel, silver, or gold. On demand production prevents waste and keeps things personal, not mass produced. So, you don't just shop, you do it for all the good reasons.
You were born unique. So, if you always dress like yourself and, first and foremost, for yourself, you will always stand out. Do you feel happy when you look at yourself in the mirror? Then, mission accomplished! The way you carry yourself is what matters. You know your value. Apparel, just like any of your belongings, is only the reflection of the light within.
