'After a year when evening dress was replaced by the nap dress, aren’t we all desperate to be glamorous again?' One writer finds her way back to dressing up:
from my post on the editorial staff, I dressed up in black tie three times a week.
Dressing up again is emotional because it signifies coming together again. And while the new clothes may be fantastical, designers such as Jonathan Anderson saw them as being more about “projecting what a new reality will hopefully be,” as he said at the time of his show in March. “Believe it, and it will happen.” The collections celebrated hand-wrought romance and, yes, tactility—the ability to finger the pearly shell shards on a friend’s Bottega dress IRL.
The problem is that I no longer know how to get dressed. In late spring I had plans to meet two friends for drinks at the Odeon in Tribeca. I was half-vaccinated and hadn’t been out of the apartment all week except to walk my dog, Lloyd.
While I once knew that my Marc Jacobs tweed blazer works with my navy Belgian loafers, which can be swapped out for suede pumps for dinner, now everything was a blank slate. I was surprised to find myself gravitating toward pieces I loved, rather than tried-and-true closet workhorses. I reached for my father’s monogrammed Charvet shirt, layered under the bugle-beaded Michael Kors cardigan that long ago migrated from my mother’s closet to mine.
