Worn: A People's History of Clothing by Sofi Thanhauser

informative reflective medium-paced

3.0

A curious exploration of the relationship between society, clothes and how they're made. An insightful read, even if a little over philosophical, and overly from the Thanhauser' view at points.

A strong history of worn clothing. Largely focused on the change from clothes being a source of community and precious to being a wellspring of exploitation and discarded. There was a tonal shift halfway through, which was a welcome addition, but it did feel like two histories smashed into one book. Nonetheless, quite different and interesting read.
