Photo-Illustration: The Cut; Images: Getty Images When I came back from Milan Fashion Week in February, coronavirus was just ramping up in Italy and I went into a two-week quarantine. A day after I returned, my office in New York closed. As I write this, I am about to embark on week four of my second period of self-isolation. So if we’re counting , I have not worn real pants in over a month.
This is my new normal. I’ve gone from being a “pants person” to someone who fantasizes about a world in which I never have to stuff myself into stiff fabric tubes again. Now that the bottom half of my body has grown accustomed to feeling like a hot dog in a soft dough blanket, I may never go back. Why would I? I’m not a masochist! I’ve tried putting on jeans a few times, only to fall to the floor and kick them off like a woman being eaten by a two-headed snake.
So many of us are embracing sweatpants right now, the style has seen a reported increase in sales. But what happens when we emerge from all this? As history has shown, a large-scale crises can change the way we dress. One oft-cited example is what happened post-WWII.
There's a reason toddlers prefer being pantless and barefoot; it just feels better!
By the time self-isolation is over, I fear we will all be wearing mumus. 😳
