    The narcissism on so many levels is such an adorable aspect of this every generation

    Same thing happened in : 90s with Goths, 80s with New Wave , 70s with gender fluid androgyny, 60s with hippies, 50s with rock and roll… 20s with flapper girls.


  • The answer is nearly always Natural Fibres for two reasons:

    • environmental - synthetic products do not degrade. Why wear something that literally microplastics everywhere you go and then gets thrown in a landfill at end of its use.
    • comfort - breathability is the key criteria for clothing. Polyester and synthetic fabrics are nearly all terrible at this compared to natural fibres.

    Merino wool is one of the best products, especially for warmth. You don’t have to pay Ice Breaker money, although it is becoming harder to find at affordable prices.

    Linen is also a great fabric for warmer climates. Couldn’t imagine a polyester t-shirt, let alone underwear, if I lived somewhere hot.

    Which parts of Europe is that?

    Is it Germany where you can only buy shnitzel, sausage and cabbage in various different forms?

    Or Italy, where they’re so proud of their food it’s basically illegal to serve anything that isn’t Italian?

    Or France where spice and chilli is outlawed, only garlic and herbs allowed?

    It’s true that a lot of traditional British food is bland, but there are way more Chinese, Indian, Thai, mexican, Italian restaurants in any town in England than you’ll find anywhere in Europe.
