This story came to mind on a particularly hot summer day in August when I came home to my incredibly hot, unairconditioned apartment and immediately began to peel off my clothes to relieve the heat.
It made me think of the way we come home to change into comfortable clothing compared to the way we dress up to go outside everyday.
We are constantly coming home and leaving, dressing up and dressing down.
As summer peaks and cools down, we go back and forth between wanting to spend our time outdoors in the sunshine and cooling off in an enclosed, preferably air conditioned space.
Every day we leave home for the day and return, peeling off our clothes to lay our bodies bare for some much needed rest.
But just like that, as soon as we’ve charged our bodies and enjoyed the calmness that is our space, we get dressed only to leave again to meet friends for drinks, go to museums, or see a show.
We get comfortable at home only to dress ourselves up to return to the outside again — such is daily life.
I was more inspired by relaxing at home after being exhausted from a long day outside.
I wanted to showcase the idea of unwinding at home and changing into different clothing to become more comfortable, and how clothing can affect our level of bodily comfort.
