Chicago CUBS x Peanuts Characters Forever Not Just When We Win Shirt

Product Description

At RBC Chicago CUBS x Peanuts Characters Forever Not Just When We Win Shirt a photographer runs with the group. “A lot of people have got into running via social media,” says Hobson, who notes how the uptick in casual running clubs can be linked to the sport’s aesthetic, and how it fits into a wider trend for technical adventurewear. “They see the similarities with what they want to wear on a day-to-day casual basis,” he says, listing cool outdoor brands such as Arc’teryx, Hoka and Satisfy, which all make stylish, up-market running kit. (A pair of Satisfy’s eight-inch Techsilk shorts cost an eye-watering £180.) In Greenwich, there is definitely a look. For starters, everyone is young, ranging from early-twenties to late-thirties. And there are lots of tight, cycling-style shorts, brightly coloured trainers with enormous foam soles, visor-like sunglasses and even the odd ultramarathon-style backpack. The common thread, though, is merchandise. Most of the runners are wearing either the white RBC club tee or the green club socks, or both. The shirt is just a simple crew neck with the club logo – a coffee cup with legs – printed small on the front, and large on the back. Definitely more streetwear than marathon-wear.

Then around 2019 Chicago CUBS x Peanuts Characters Forever Not Just When We Win Shirt the fashion internet moved to TikTok. There were new faces here: younger women more adept at producing videos than their older counterparts. They had ring lights and smooth, cherubic faces seemingly made for the camera. When I joined TikTok in late 2020, the algorithm quickly directed me to them. Every day I opened the app and watched “Get Ready With Me” (GRWM) videos, the contemporary iteration of the bloggers’ Outfit of the Day posts. I watched “content creators” review jewellery brands and makeup looks, or pose cheekily on a New York sidewalk for a quick “fit check” (always kicking up a heel to show off their shoes). TikTok was where I learned about Shein. For a while my For You page served me videos of sustainable fashion influencers decrying Shein’s labour and environmental practices. Of all the fast-fashion producers, Shein has attracted the most criticism. It has removed products from sale after toxic chemicals were found in them; it produces fabrics such as spandex that never decompose (at this point an image would flash across the screen: a mountain of discarded clothes in the Chilean desert so large it is visible from space); workers in some of its factories earn $556 a month to make 500 pieces of clothing every day, work 18-hour days, and use their lunch breaks to wash their hair – a schedule they repeat seven days a week with only one day off a month. A more nuanced TikToker might point out, briefly, that conditions in Shein factories are not necessarily unique, or that focusing on suppliers – rather than the larger systems of western consumption and capitalism that create these conditions – is a fool’s errand, but the platform isn’t built for that kind of dialogue. I clicked on the comments and invariably read ones with several dozen likes saying: “I’m so willing to die in Shein clothes.”
