Lyn Slater spills all her secrets:
Author:Sara RadinPublish date:Apr 2, 2019We all buy clothes, but no two people shop the same. It can be a social experience, and a deeply personal one; at times, it can be impulsive and entertaining, at others, purpose-driven, a chore. Where do you shop? When do you shop? How do you decide what you need, how much to spend and what's "you"? These are some of the questions we're putting to prominent figures in our column "How I Shop.
Through her style and platform, Slater refuses to be put in a box with other women with gray hair or those in her age bracket, arguing that in order for today's biggest fashion brands to truly be inclusive, they need to stop categorizing and start approaching their businesses more fluidly. "I had a big imagination as a kid, which is how I established my relationship with clothes. I saw them as costumes that allowed me to perform different identities, especially since I was living a pretty working-class life in Westchester, New York. My maternal grandmother was a really rebellious and fashionable woman.
I shop mainly brands that you wouldn't identify with older people. One of my favorite brands at the moment, whom I have a close relationship with, is Acne Studios. I have been loving its oversize clothing, but in an ironic way. It makes me feel more powerful and their color palette is gorgeous. I just feel like I can walk in that store and find a lot of things that I would wear. The clothes are timeless. And it's also androgynous, which allows you to play around with gender.
My latest shopping evolution has been letting myself purchase items online, since for a long time I preferred to go into stores. With online shopping, I'm usually familiar with the brand. I know the sizing and for that reason I will buy from them online. Now, I'm also in a situation where brands are sending me clothes, which is another source of inspiration.
