We Are Nafo Adult Fella T-shirt

Product Description

At my first appointment We Are Nafo Adult Fella T-shirt I worked with a bridal assistant who was similar in size to me. I knew this person understood what it was like to exist in a bigger body and wouldn’t suggest things that wouldn’t fit or suit my shape. The salon, NYC’s Sarah Seven, had even called me the day before to ask me about my wants, expectations, fears and budget. I felt amazing after the call, and went into the appointment really believing they wanted me to have a good experience. I didn’t get my dress there – though I fell in love with a $5,000 option that was far outside my budget – but I left feeling supported and prepared for future appointments. Instead, things got decidedly less fun. At a different salon, a bridal assistant – who could not have been bigger than a US street size 2 – brought me a gown I asked to see in a street size 8. When I told her that it would never go over my hips, she gently suggested we try. I obliged, knowing full well that I was setting myself up for a meltdown. As I shimmied and wiggled, the assistant tried to help, pushing softly on my upper thigh to get it into the unforgiving satin sheath. When the fabric looked as though it might rip, I started sweating. I said it wasn’t working and that I’d need to take it off.

Pelly believes that We Are Nafo Adult Fella T-shirt a varsity still works as a symbolic garment in these spaces: “I think it gives captain vibes, leader of the pack vibes, but at the same time, especially in hip-hop, it can give a rookie vibe.” Brands certainly seem to understand the totemic appeal of the varsity: Louis Vuitton’s NFT version works just as well as a digital representation as, say, the brand’s iconic Speedy bag would, because varsity jackets are easy to spot from a mile away and come pre-loaded with historical significance and cultural resonance. Pelly believes the resurgence of the varsity jacket is tied to the fact that it can be “a really great form of self-expression” – a desirable idea for labels trying to make customers feel as if they’re part of an elite club. She sees cult brands such as Aimé Leon Dore as having spearheaded the latest revival. “They’re not just trying to sell a product – they’re trying to sell a lifestyle, and trying to sell a community that you would want to be a part of.”
