Emerging from the home with 'PLDD': The Post-Lock Down Dishevelment

Emerging from the home with 'PLDD': The Post-Lock Down Dishevelment

In a fashionable city like London, I am witnessing first-hand well-dressed people who have stopped using deodorant back in 2020; I see people in designer coats slipping into their pool slides that are not a fashion statement but the one and only pair of shoes they have been putting on for months and have grown accustomed to. My own wool sweaters have big holes around their elbows because that's how much friction they experienced being rubbed against my desk whilst working from home for a year now. This is a sign of deep trauma, of neglect and stress. It's similar to PTSD and leaves emotional and psychological scars. We are expressing this pain through the clothes we choose (or stop choosing)!
