Tucker Carlson is handsome, his mother was a talanted left leaning artist. Ella also look phenomenalz I believe this style has been intertwined since the beginning. The driving loafer was referred to as “the artist shoe”. My grandpa said back in the day all blacks wore suits..The shift towards this attire now is because we’ve been wearing sweat pants/sneakers since the pandemic and the pendulum is swinging to the opposite + Not everything is about race.
"All blacks wore suits" where? And when? There's a lot of context for how Black people dressed especially in the early and middle 20th century - Black Ivy dives into this in far greater detail - but it was largely a response to systemic racism in America.
The essay fairly clearly explains the exclusionary admissions practices of ivy league schools (the "systemic racism") and moreso the particular resurgence of this attire amongst right-leaning and far-right leaning personalities. In part to seem educated, in part to give their bigoted ideas gravitas and in part as a way to signal a return to their ideal America, before things like the Civil Rights movement or Gay Rights movement (to eventually expand to LGBTQ+ in general) or advocacy for the disabled, this is an active choice of dress for these people. This was a method of signaling before the pandemic (Charlottesville in 2017, the wave of conservative dress in the 1970s) and in these cases there is either an implicit or direct callback to an idealized America of the 1950s, just like the "Make America Great Again" dogwhistle.
Dressing professionally will get you further in life and ive encouraged what some would call “hood friends” to dress preppy and watched it become a stepping stone into a better life. The same kind of suggestions Boys and Girls clubs encourage in impoverished areas. It is a fantastic Article. The history is very truthful. My only gripe is the part in which it alludes to boycotting the style. I don’t think it has to be about race anymore and I didn’t do a very good job at explaining myself in the fist comment. These clothes can really be a way out for some, regardless of skin tone. I hope you can see where im coming from on a deeper level because I absolutely hear you.
INCREDIBLE, SOL!!!!
