“I am someone who spends money on clothes. When I bought into the slow fashion dream—timeless, long lasting clothes made by people paid fairly—I made peace with spending a couple hundred dollars on a pair of pants or a coat. Still, I am definitely not in the habit of buying a single garment that costs more than $500. But that’s at least partly because there just aren’t a lot of opportunities for me to do so. I rarely have to think about whether a piece of clothing is worth that much to me because most brands in that price range don’t make clothes in my size. It’s a lot easier to think of yourself as selective, down to earth, or thrifty when those values are never being tested.”
