It’s been a year of loungewear, little make-up and comfortable shoes, at least for those of us fortunate enough to work from home. And for some people, those style choices might become permanent, reflecting new positions on consumerism and fast fashion. But for others, the chance to return to society in trendy outfits can’t come soon enough. We’ll talk about how the pandemic has shaped our attitudes toward fashion, and we want to hear from you: tell us about the clothing that’s gotten you through, the styles you’ll stick with (or not) and whether you’re rethinking the importance of outward appearances.

Guests:

Elizabeth Segran, senior staff writer, Fast Company<br />

Reyhan Harmanci, culture writer; her story "Pandemic Dressing Takes a Dark Turn" appeared in The New York Times in January.<br />
