I think I cracked the code on why current fashion is all atheleisure, body con, lingerie outside the bedroom, tight polyester material and how it coincides with the rise of eating disorders/diet culture and heroin chic. the clothes are no longer fashion, the body is the fashion. rather than wearing something as an expression of yourself you wear to show of your body. that's not even me being on some slut shaming shit, but I think about most often when you see the comments on a person ootd unless they're somebody known for a alternative or maximalist style it's always the emphasis of the body. Body tea, body tea, snatched, snatched, ate no crumbs. That whole waistline trend. Just imagine how if fat people started a belly band trend or something similar how people would jump to decry it as fetish material. Yet the obsession with thinness is never seen as perverse, rather something that should be regarded as inspo or hell even promoting a healthy lifestyle.
