pixelfit / Getty Images No matter what hits the runway in New York, Paris, Los Angeles or Milan, just because a designer piece of clothing comes with a hefty price tag, doesn’t make it worth your money.

There are a few things in life that are more challenging for those of us who are under 5’5 — reaching higher cabinets, turning off a fire alarm, and finding a pair of jeans that hits just right at the ankle. Shopping as a petite is no easy feat. I’m 5’3, which I would say teeters between petite and regular, yet I still find myself frequently disappointed when I try on a dress that drapes across the floor, or the sleeves of a shirt fall past my fingers, or I succumb to rolling…

It happened to me: I aged out of my favourite clothing store | Deirdre Fidge
How long has it been since you visited a shopping centre? For some people that’s an extremely bizarre question: “Christmas was only a couple of months ago, of course I’ve been to a mall recently,” they might say. But for others, it may be an extremely bizarre question: “With online shopping, why the heck would I set foot in one of those artificially lit nightmares?” These two attitudes make sense to me because I subscribe to both.

Could you commit to buying just five new items of clothing in a year? | Fashion
I love fashion, enjoy following trends, keeping up with new brands and dressing up, but I have always bought too much. So when a report last year found that no amount of recycled materials, regenerative agriculture or innovative fabrics are going to make enough of an impact to keep global heating at bay, I decided to embark on a new way of getting dressed. Those living in the high-income G20 countries, the report from the thinktank Hot or Cool Institute stated, need to radically reduce their fashion consumption. It set a specific brief: “If no other actions are implemented, such as repairing/mending, washing at lower temperatures, or buying secondhand, purchases…

The Evolutionary Origins of Clothing
Listen to this article Produced by ElevenLabs and NOA, News Over Audio, using AI narration. The naked human is a vulnerable creature. Lacking the fur of our mammalian ancestors and relatives, we have bare skin that offers little defense against the sun’s brutal rays or wind’s biting chill. So instead, we have had to invent a technology to replace our long-lost fur: “portable thermal protection,” as the archaeologist Ian Gilligan calls it or, more simply, clothing. Without clothing, humans would never have reached all seven continents. This technological breakthrough allowed our ancestors to live in Siberia during the height of the Ice Age, and to cross the frigid Bering Sea…
