Of course, things changed soon enough. Working from home began to feel like real life rather than an extended snow day, so I eventually washed my hair and put on a pair of slouchy jeans and a big sweater. Now, after six weeks in self-isolation, that is still about as close as I’ve come to getting “dressed up.” I still like to put on earrings for the Leopard peace love coffee lovers hippie shirt but in fact I love this hell of it and use silk scarves to cover my bed head for Zoom calls (for which I now turn on the webcam).

Still the Leopard peace love coffee lovers hippie shirt but in fact I love this thought of wriggling into a restricting garment is a painful one. Now that I know what it’s like to exist in nothing but large and forgiving silhouettes for months on end, to be comfortable in all seated positions as well as brisk walks, I don’t see myself returning to the routine of wearing clothes that I’m dying to change out of the minute I arrive home from work. As the 2018 ugly sneaker trend proved, people love trends that allow them to be comfortable and chic (in the sneaker’s case, it was due to the mad genius behind the curtain at Balenciaga and Louis Vuitton). In three years, the popularity of this unexpected trend has not waned; fashionable women across the globe have ditched their Manolos for their favorite chunky trainers, and they’re never going back! Similarly, I feel like I’ve seen the light as it pertains to enjoying life in clothes that don’t cause me discomfort, though the “chicness” of this newfound aesthetic may be self-declared. According to Ruth La Ferla’s recent New York Times piece, cleverly entitled “FOMO Is Over. Give In to the Joy of Letting Go,” many women are spurning their bras and makeup, too, asking themselves why they ever wore these things in the first place. In a post-COVID-19 world, will oversized clothes become the new norm? Are boyfriend jeans to cinched waists as dad sneakers are to high heels?
