The Art of the ReWear
Good clothes are expensive. And somewhere along the way, we decided it was taboo to wear clothes to public places again and again. When Tiffany Haddish said she planned to wear an expensive dress again and again, she named something most of us already know. Buying one beautiful piece to wear once simply does not make sense.
A capsule wardrobe is built on rewearability. It is built on choosing pieces you trust, pieces you return to, and pieces that become part of who you are. The Art of the ReWear is about unlearning the story that repetition is a failure of style, and rediscovering that it is often the clearest sign that you have found it.
