Hate the Player, Love the Fit Game: John Lennon
Hello, I hate John Lennon! If you don’t yet, this episode of the excellent podcast You’re Wrong About on Yoko Ono does a good job of covering the quick and dirty facts if you don’t want to glorify his name by typing it into Google. He was abusive, a negligent father, racist, homophobic, and extremely […]

The *Official* New Nonbinary Uniform Under $300
In case you are new around here or have recently Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind-ed yourself and have no memories of HR, I’m non-binary and use they/them pronouns. Of course there is no one way to “dress nonbinary” and the title of this post is… a joke! But for me, feeling good about my […]

Masc On: Last Legs of SSENSE Sale, $150 or Less
By popular demand that’s haunted me since the More Masc Merch Mandate was released, here is another post specifically for the masculinely-inclined among you, no matter what gender you may happen to be!

Taking My Own Advice
I try not to just wear the same 5 items on rotation every week, tempting though it may be for my terminally exhausted and terminally uncomfortable self. I write a fashion blog, for god sakes (you’re reading it right now, in fact) and I strive to always dress in a way that makes me feel […]

Dressing to Disarm my Demons
Today’s post might be the last of 2022, and with it, I am attempting to exorcise five demons that hounded me in the past year. I don’t write extensively about my personal problems on this blog, which is, after all, a fashion blog, but one of the reasons I like clothes is that they can […]

The Daisies Dimension of New Year’s Eve
I haven’t been to a New Year’s Eve party in the better part of a decade, but if I were going to one, I’d sure as hell want to dress as one of the two characters, both named Marie, who feature in the 1966 film Daisies (or Sedmikrásky in its original Czech) by Věra Chytilová. […]

My Style Heroes: Vivian Li
Vivian Li and I have been following each other on Instagram for years, in which time I’ve seen her set her sights on, and achieve, a goal: to become a content creator and augment the hours she spends in lab, studying for her PhD in neuroscience, with an Instagram following predicated on her style, travels, […]

HR’s Got You: Curated Casuals, Woodworking Weeaboos, and In-law Intervention
It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these, but here are seven looks based on five of your (my dear readers’) requests for ultra-specific situations to get dressed for: heavily curated insouciance, a pretentious woodworking/studying duality, severity at a start-up party, braving The Bins, and going on a romantic vacation with your partner’s […]
