On a recent sunny Friday morning, while Taking my daily walk around the block with the It-girl cord intact, I realized. I looked down at my black loafers, Vans, my Nili Lotan carpenter khakis, and my rowing Trail Blazers striped football, and it dawned on me: I was dressing like my imaginary fan. It’s a peculiar feeling to realize that you’re subconsciously wearing clothes that you find attractive to others. Of course, that’s not what Gloria Steinem meant when she said “too many people are looking for the right person instead of trying to be the right person.” Maybe I’m becoming
Over the past few months, I have accidentally imitated Jacob Elordi, Oscar Isaac, and Pete Davidson (to name a few My crush) by succumbing to sambas, well-cut slacks, tie-dye t-shirts, and tattered hats. In the meantime, I’ve noticed that this is taking shape for others online: fashion historian and author Ruby Redstone recently hunted down a pair of Adidas to complete Harry Styles outfits, and TikTok creator Kiki shares a rundown of cutie outfits , titled “Don’t date your type. Dress like this.” A subtle sign of admiration, dressing like the object of your love is as romantic as fashion (even if the crush is platonic). It’s not defined by the frills and florals we usually associate with romantic style — though it might be — but by the person who wears it’s definition of what’s worth obsessing over. Instead of dressing to get noticed by those we like, try their
Dare I say, I My own compression dressing is the result of a recalibration. Over the past three years, as the fashion pendulum has shifted from prairie puff sleeves to cargo pants and tiny T-shirts, so has my personal style. While I used to be drawn to the copycat style, which is well represented in Emma, which we often classify as Romantic style, but those gorgeous pieces now look like relics of my former self and ideals. After a personal paradigm shift (read: ending engagement and moving across borders), those sweet, soft dresses suddenly feel also

To better understand what it means to dress like someone I like, I asked two friends – chef and creative consultant Tara Thomas And model and head Kelly Mittendorf’s community of startups – weighing what it means to accept the style that one person finds attractive in another. Tara and Kelly see it as a means of self-exploration. “Crushcore is role-playing, romantic or platonic, out of admiration,” Tara said. “I think it’s a way of embodying your desire. It takes the essence of that person like a souvenir and then becomes part of your identity.”
In Kelly’s case, dressing to reflect she

While I’m sure my definition of shatterable style will keep changing, I hope the romantic pursuit of a daydream will hold steady in the way I dress. Breaking old ideas about how I thought I should present myself and rethinking the implicit fashion constraints required a major life change. I love how our clothes change the way we present ourselves to the world and show different aspects of our personality. Now I embrace my fashion crowd: Sometimes I want to be Justin Bieber in his YouTube days, other times I’m leaning towards the Olsen twins in It Takes Two (a tank top and a baseball cap – that’s not core at all). To me, Jacob Elordi is the ideal crush contender because he shows his own range of experiments: pants look good , and Vans confirms that the boy who loves skateboarding One year old I’m still there somewhere. Besides clothes, there’s an energy — unlacing shoelaces, whatever it is — that I find aspirational. Like, man, I’m just running errands, okay? A few years ago, embracing this unimpressed, desperate side of myself was something I might not have allowed myself to do. But it’s something I want someone I like to be able to do and dress like them so it’s easier to blend in.
