So people are getting sexy and ravey with it and sometimes a little deranged take on office fashion, which I'm calling the freakification of office wear. Okay. I like that. Freakification. Yeah. Yeah. Like I've even seen office themed raves in the ether. Have you ever been to one? I've been to one that had an explicitly corporate dress code. I did deliver. Yeah.

But also like in any context, I'm seeing people wearing business wear to the club, even without that kind of explicit dress code. And in fashion, you know, this style, it's being shown on fall 2026 runway shows. So it's lasted a really long time when, you know, as we know, most trends these days, they don't really last that long.

Yeah, so our workplaces have undergone really drastic changes in the past few years. And they're continuing to evolve in ways that might feel a little scary to some people. And I think that's really being reflected in our fashion and in our pop culture. So what drew you to this style? Okay, I will be honest with you. I originally was not thinking that hard about it.

I was kind of just like, oh, all the other fashion girlies are wearing skinny glasses. Like, I need to go and buy some. But thinking deeper and sitting with it, I think this style has really stayed with me because it feels, Like alien. Like I've always kind of turned to fashion to create, you know, different versions of myself that are really outlandish or like wouldn't otherwise exist, basically.

Why do you say that version won't ever exist? Yeah, I've really never seen a pre-COVID workplace, so. Oh. Yeah, I feel a little unfamiliar with like the traditional quote unquote office norms and customs as they were. So I put on this costume and I'm kind of like, I'm living the fantasy.

I learned that office wear has kind of, it's been costumey from the very beginning. Oh. Yeah, I talked to journalist Avery Travelman about it. She's the host of the fashion history podcast, Articles of Interest. And here's what she told me.
