I assume I’m not alone when I say I used my time in self-isolation to adhere to the good gospel of Marie Kondo.
I devoured The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up and decided that I was going to transcend from a heathen maximalist, sentimentally clinging onto turmeric-stained band shirts to a model minimalist dedicated to conscience wardrobe. Call it quar-induced mania but I threw out all my shit.
I have since discovered that I am not destined to be a minimalist because I simply love owning and buying clothes, but this experience gave me the freedom to assess the practicality of my wardrobe. Now, I have the exciting opportunity to curate my aesthetic post-coronavirus personality and fill up my desolate wardrobe once more.
One of the strange phenomenons I found comfort in during the chaotic period of self-isolation was looking at paparazzi photos of dishevelled celebrities in leisurewear. Photos of Ben Affleck smoking cigs through a face mask, donning a puffer jacket was chicken soup for the soul. Celebrities, they’re just like us!
I have decided that my first post-isolation look will draw from a moodboard of celebrities in states of chic disarray. Where better to look than Adidas to make this chaotic leisurewear dream a reality?
If you haven’t heard the news, Adidas is hosting a mammoth 40% off sale with free shipping. I, my dear friends, will be making the most of this opportunity. You can curate your personal post-quar identity here, or you can join me below and we can populate this earth like the Ben Affleck clones we were destined to be.
ESSENTIALS DOWN VEST
This is the staple. If you only buy one thing from this list let it be the essentials down vest. It is the principle ingredient for LARPing as a celebrity in disguise. I am of the opinion that down vests are infinitely more pragmatic than down jackets. They keep you warm without erring into Michelin Man territory. There is nothing less glamorous than entering a shopping complex and having to desperately slog off your bulky jacket because the central heating is rapidly increasing your body temperature and you’re sweating bullets.

AEROREADY 4ATHLTS BASEBALL CAP
One needs a hat to exude an aura of anonymity. This is the perfect mysterious, nondescript cap to achieve that mission.
FIREBIRD TRACK PANTS
I have worked my way through the entire spectrum of track pants, and through my travels, I have deduced that these are the only ones worth a damn. The straight leg embodies the relaxed palette of the ’90s without feeling like a pastiche.
ALPHASKIN SPORT TEE
ADILETTE COMFORT
There is no piece in fashion history that emanates an air of unbothered chillness quite like the Adidas slide. It is so quietly dominant, comfortable and debonair.
CUSHIONED CREW SOCKS 3 PAIRS
Socks and slides are a hot combination I’m sorry. I know that it’s a point of contention but it shouldn’t be. It’s athleisurewear meets total slackerdom. White socks have a tendency to get kind of discoloured and gross looking when paired with a slide. A black crew sock is the perfect embrace of health goth couture.
