The power of therapeutic fashion
In this article, you will learn about the power of therapeutic fashion, and how fashion for self-care will grow people's personal wardrobes, as well as people's fashion businesses.
I am a fashion author, and a healthy fashion practitioner dedicated to the topic of healthy fashion: fashion deemed medicinal. You will learn so much in my past, current, and future blog post articles about healthy fashion. You will learn even so much more from my upcoming book: HEALTHY FASHION: THE DEEPER TRUTHS, which will be released in November 2021. Pre-orders will be available in a few months, so stay tuned!
Two examples of fashion for self-care
I am going to share with you an example of a therapeutic garment that supports your own self-care. The first example I am going to talk about is a specific garment type that gives positive, therapeutic energy to the wearer and to the passersby.
I am also going to talk more about my free 5-sheet printable: the FASHION JOURNAL TRACKER, and how it supports a person's wellbeing. I am going to talk about page 4 specifically from the 5-sheet printable FASHION JOURNAL TRACKER, and how it will support your self-care.
"When we care about the entire picture of fashion, we naturally choose fashions made for our own health."
Healthy fashion and the wellness trend for men + women won't go anywhere, anytime soon. Part of this is because we are now part of the New Age and Spiritual Awakening on planet Earth. Another reason-- the corona-virus has definitely made us dress more comfortably. Fashion for self-care is comfortable fashion.
Many people are dressing and shopping for loungewear, athleisure, and activewear clothing. These fashion styles are therapeutic because they are comfortable to wear. Many fashion brands and retailers create extra comfortable fashion. These are the types of garments we should be influenced by, and wear.
A self-care fashion example: sparkling garments
If we look at the beauty and hygiene industry trends-- many beauty and hygiene brands create a product that supports the health and wellness of a person's mind, body, and spirit. I believe the future of the fashion industry will be more and more like the beauty and hygiene brands that are making therapeutic beauty products.
For example, the beauty and hygiene industry is incorporating glitter, crushed gold powder, crushed crystals, crushed shimmering mica, and other healthy glittering materials. Sparkling materials also add positivity, as the sparkles and glitter naturally make people feel happy.
When we think of fashion as a therapeutic treatment, we might not think of glow, shimmer, sparkle as a part of fashion for self-care, but this is an important example, below, of how shimmering, glittery fashion can make us feel better.
For example, recently, I was working on my computer outdoors, and a woman was walking by. She was wearing a beautiful garment that had small crystal beads sewn onto the garment. There were hundreds of the crystal beads glittering as she moved, and as the fabric flew in the breeze.
The garment sparkled and shimmered like the way Swarovski crystals do. The sunlight was making the crystals glow and shine, and the crystals were creating an emotion that made me refreshed and energized. It felt like it was a spiritual-like garment.
Her garment helped me, the passerby because crystals heal people. Wearing or seeing crystals on garments and accessories can cleanse the body. There are reiki and energy practitioners that use crystals as a tool to heal people. Additionally, many metaphysical shops sell crystals for their therapeutic healing properties.
When we place crystals on our body-- they energize our body. It is also similar to the way a person feels refreshed and cleansed after a shower from the crystalline water, or if we cleansed our body and aura after burning sage. Those hanging prisms that you see in windows are not just for decoration-- the prism colors reflecting from it heals the mind, body, and spirit.
The woman's garment is magical and spiritual because crystals are. They are a very important part of healthy fashion-- they have metaphysical properties, and this makes her garment therapeutic.
Wearing garments with shimmering crystals all over them supports health and my wellbeing. The way glittering garments sparkle and flow in the breeze make people feel special, angelic and inspired.
The tracker + self-care
There are different ways to be a healthy fashion practitioner. One way is through fashion journaling in a fashion diary. The FASHION JOURNAL TRACKER is a way to learn more about our own fashion style and learn more about fashion in general.
"The FASHION JOURNAL TRACKER printable connects fashion with our daily life. We can use fashion as a tool to help our lifestyle."
When we use the tracker, we are creating multiple fashion files. We can refer back to these fashion files. For example, one of my outfits was perfect, and I wanted to remember the outfit and wear it again, to feel those happy emotions I had when I wore that specific outfit.
I wrote it down in the printable to track that outfit.
