THERE’S A LINE IN THE BLACKLY BRILLIANT sitcom Such Brave Girls that made me feel, as they say, extremely seen. “New clothes are really exciting,” gabbles the mentally fragile Josie during a shopping spree, “because you haven’t had a chance to create any sad memories wearing them yet! I could be a new me!”
Clothes are never just clothes. They’re also the experiences embroidered into the fabric through wear — experiences that sometimes make a garment more treasured, and sometimes make you want to throw the thing in a bin and pour bleach on it.
