Granted, they orbit around the ooga-booga markers of 'manliness,' such as flasks and bouquets of meat, but I'm eager for any opportunity to buy a knife sharpener at 30 percent off.

Gen Z has been priced out of a future, so we invest in the present

Gen Z has been priced out of a future, so we invest in the present | Opinion With a financially stable future out of reach, it's no surprise that much of my generation has adopted a sort of economic nihilism. Show Caption Hide Caption Gen Z suffers from more anxiety and loneliness than previous generation According to a recent study, Gen Z struggles with their mental health, around 20% more than millennials do. unbranded - Lifestyle With my student loan debt mounting and homeownership a far-off dream, I stared at the SSENSE webpage on my laptop, wondering if I deserved to buy a $600 pair of Marni loafers through Klarna, a buy now, pay later financial service provider that we've become a bit too familiar with. I didn't buy the shoes – proof I haven't lost my mind completely – but the foreplay reflected a shift in financial priorities and conditions for people my age. Does the American dream still uphold a 20-something's right to buy shoes? For many Generation Zers, those born between 1995 and 2012, the American dream has been recalibrated. Dreams of owning a single-family home guarded by a white picket fence have softened to hopes of renting out a decent-sized apartment, hopefully with just one roommate. Kids are out of the question. Summer vacations abroad are now only pipe dreams for those whose lives aren't subsidized by their parents. Splurging on groceries and fresh produce is a new form of luxury, especially for those whose Erewhon is Whole Foods. Consumer prices have increased in recent years due to inflation. In 2022, the U.S. saw one of the highest rates of inflation in 40 years. Despite wage increases and projections of economic stability from experts, Americans still feel financially spread thin. Ballooning rent and housing prices certainly don't help. Many Gen Zers are entering adulthood in a country rife with economic disarray, a reality our Millennial forebears know all too well. The promises offered to us in our childhood – that if we get good grades, go to college, get a degree and land a good job, we'd be set for life – ring hollow. More than 4 in 10 Americans under 30 say they're "barely getting by" financially, while just 16% report doing well or very well, according to a Harvard Institute of Politics Survey. Opinion: Gen Z's risk-averse behavior makes love elusive. Are we all going to die alone? With a financially stable future out of reach, it's no surprise that much of my generation has adopted a sort of economic nihilism – a set of practices that prioritize splurging on little luxuries now, instead of saving up for a future that may never come to fruition. Gen Z is crippled by student loan debt Student loan debt is one of the biggest plagues on our wallets. While Gen Zers are less likely to have student loan debt, rising education costs mean we start out with more debt early on than Millennials did. Student borrowers who were 20 to 25 in 2022 had an average balance of $20,900 in student loan debt, a 13% higher balance than Millennials did at the same age. We got a false sense of hope when student loan debt forgiveness was dangled over our heads, only to have it yanked from above us when the Supreme Court struck it down. Matters got even more serious when it was announced that the federal government would resume involuntary collections for borrowers in default on May 5. No rest for the weary, I guess. What makes student loans particularly challenging for Gen Z is the instability of the job market. Finding work is a fruitless endeavor. From DOGE blindly slashing through federal agency budgets to big tech corporations wielding AI as a replacement for human workers and placation for their own greed, job stability and steady earnings remain elusive. Opinion: Why is Gen Z so obsessed with the gym? Our fitness craze masks a deeper crisis. I've seen my peers lose entry-level jobs in communication and tech just as quickly as they got them. I've watched my friends who majored in computer science, engineering and other 'useful' areas of study succumb to hopelessness as their degrees collect dust with virtually nothing to show for them besides mounting debt. With myriad financial stressors coming from all directions and a recession looming, one would think Gen Zers would lead lives of frugality, pinching pennies in every way we can. Instead, I've noticed the exact opposite. Gen Z has been priced out of a future, so we invest in the present. This economic disillusionment leads us to some questionable consumer habits. We're all living above our means, spending money that could otherwise be saved and invested for an elusive tomorrow. Consumer shopping habits reflect our economic nihilism When I asked my friends about their own impulsive or irresponsible spending habits, they confirmed what I already knew to be true: that creating pleasure in the present is paramount. Many of my friends have a habit of putting over-priced concert tickets on their credit cards, something I'm also guilty of (thank you, Ticketmaster). A friend of a friend paid for a trip to Japan in 12 installments. Another friend signed a $2,000 per month lease in New York on a salary of less than $50k, and put themselves into even more debt when they decided to become a fitness instructor. The most common habit among my friends is making big, impulsive purchases on credit and worrying about them later. This explains why Gen Z has the highest average personal debt when compared to other generations. When asked what motivates these purchases, the answers I got all had a similar YOLO attitude. The milestones other generations were achieving at this age – first house, first 'real' job, kids – all seem untenable. Why spend our 20-something years playing an endless game of catch-up? Why not try to piece together a semblance of an enjoyable life now? Seeing wealthy influencers our age lounging in the Mediterranean or frolicking up and down the streets of Paris, dripped in the trendiest fashions, makes it hard for us not to want the same. Older generations may look at our spending habits and grimace. But to understand Gen Z's economic nihilism is to understand the hopelessness that comes with being thrust from one unprecedented crisis to the next, one broken promise after another. Whenever the hopelessness gets too heavy, though, I try my best to remember that there have been worse times in history and in almost every instance we were able to bounce back to some degree. I like to believe this time will be no different. We can find solace in knowing we're not alone in our struggles. Maybe, fellow Gen Zers, it isn't wise to throw our whole future away. Let's hold off on those overpriced shoes. Maybe it's best we practice just a little more financial discipline as best we can and add just a touch of radical optimism – it's really all we have.

Essentials Hoodie Black Canada: The Perfect Blend of Style and Comfort

Nothing exceeds at being a warm, stylish, and versatile wardrobe must-have such as the Essentials hoodie black Canada. The minimalist style with premium quality and unrivaled wearability has made this Essentials Hoodie a darling among all the fashion-loving casuals. Whether an everyday outfit or casual layering piece, that black Essential hoodie is the perfect balance between functionality and aesthetics. Black is an eternal color that goes with anything, making it a pretty versatile addition to your closet—the black Essentials hoodie Canada. This is a neutral hue that could be paired easily with jeans, joggers, or tailored pants to meet many occasions. Moreover, this is a very appealing hoodie; it has been constructed using a really good material that lasts longer in use, making it a very durable piece over time. The relaxed fit and soft fabric give maximum comfort while wearing, whether you go running for errands, quickly visit the gym, or just chill indoors. Pink Essentials Hoodie from Canada have been made with meticulous detail-from reinforced stitched seams to very heavy-duty kangaroo pockets and thick external drawstring hoods. Its fabric generally specifies a classic cotton-polyester blend for that exquisitely soft feel and great shape retention after many washes. The feel behind a cheaper alternative, however, is that pilling and fading do not occur, keeping it looking newer even after extended use. The minimalist branding stamps it with a little style-and while it's one of the favorite items of people who like their clothes to speak for themselves, quality and craftsmanship take center stage in understated elegance, cropping both the waist and legline. The main advantage of an essential black hoodie in Canada is that it is well-suited to the weather changes of the seasons. Layering under jackets or coats in winter without really being bulky but still offering warmth is perfect for the chilly months. Else, it can be worn as an individual outerwear piece for cool weather without anyone having to worry about sweat. Finally, its breathable material makes it fine for all-year comfort, perfect for Canadians who experience changing weather conditions. The black Essentials hoodie in Canada screams simplicity but can be styled in so many ways: Wear it with skinny jeans and sneakers for a laid-back look; pair it with a fitted coat and leather boots to dress it up; or athleisure lovers can wear it side-by-side with joggers and high tops for a stylish, even sporty effect. Also, the neutral black color will match all your accessory needs of hats, watches, or statement jewelry, and you can personalize it however you want! It is crucial for quality and longevity that you really find an original Essentials hoodie in black in Canada. They can be found at reputable stores like SSENSE and Nordstrom, as well as official Fear of God stockists. Although online marketplaces like Amazon and eBay may give you an option, you should always check the credibility of the seller to avoid getting duped with a fake product. You find local boutiques carrying streetwear also intent on selling Essentials collections in major cities in Canada, like Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal. This Essentials black hoodie Canada needs proper care. It must be machine washed in cold water alone with similar colors to avoid fading. Such treatments do not advise harsh detergents or bleach, since they spoil the fabric itself. Air-drying is better to keep the shape and softness, although tumble-drying at low heat will work if absolutely necessary. Place it in a cool, dry place. The black Essentials hoodie from Canada is not only a hoodie; it is an investment in fashion that speaks of comfort, durability, and style. With a minimalistic approach, this hoodie truly remains a classic and an evergreen piece that will stand the test of time with its very high-quality construction. It gives you the freedom to be dressed or not; it transitions so nicely into any look. If one is in search of a truly reliable and stylish wardrobe must-have, the black Essentials hoodie would always be the best pick. TIME BUSINESS NEWS

Youth, summer, beach. The costumes tell a story in Durga Chew-Bose's "Bonjour Tristesse"

One of the things that struck me while watching 'Bonjour Tristesse,' written and directed by the celebrated author Durga Chew-Bose, was a feeling of being — and I don't know how else to put it — tenderly haunted. Maybe it's because Chew-Bose is an old friend of mine (we lived in the same dorm our first year of college), and the tenderness that exists between old friends imbues their experience of each other's art. But others have also picked up on the ethereal, captivating quality of her adaptation of the 1954 French novel of the same name, written by Françoise Sagan. The film's world is luscious, tangible and hypnotic. This hypnotism is especially conveyed through the film's costumes. Chew-Bose — whose tenure in the fashion industry as managing editor of SSENSE gave her a nuanced insight into storytelling through clothes — worked with the renowned costume designer Miyako Bellizzi ('Uncut Gems,' 'The History of Sound') on the film. The result of their collaboration is a sartorial aesthetic that feels somehow outside of time. The costumes are, on the surface, contemporary: We see an Adidas sweatshirt here, a clingy party dress there. We know we're in the present moment, but certain details pull us back in time. Kitten heels and full skirts, capri pants and tailored menswear, blouses with crisp collars and one-piece bathing suits feel less like 'now' and more like 'back then.' Behind-the-scenes from 'Bonjour Tristesse' by Durga Chew-Bose Durga and I talked over Zoom about how, and why, costumes do so much heavy lifting when it comes to cinematic storytelling. The film, which is now playing in theaters, has a stellar cast, including Lily McInerny as the protagonist Cécile, her love interest Cyril played by Aliocha Schneider, Chloë Sevingy as a fashion designer named Anne, and Claes Bang as Raymond, Cécile's father. Eugenie Dalland: A costume designer recently told me that costumes are often the first place where storytelling begins in a film. What do you think about this idea? Durga Chew-Bose: Miyako [Bellizzi] was showing me photos recently of Paul Mescal on set for a film she costumed — he's standing in a forest wearing a period costume. She was like, 'the only way you know what century this takes place in is because of my work.' She's dispatching information through every costume choice she makes, every detail. Basically, everyone's job on set is to give information to the image, and the costume design, for a lot of people, is where it begins. I thought that that was an interesting way to think about costume — as not just decor, but as a missive that tells you who, what, when, where, how. ED: Let's talk about the opening shots of 'Bonjour Tristesse.' We see a close-up of the nape of a young man's neck as he's pulling off his T-shirt; he's wearing a silver chain. Next, a close-up of a young woman lounging on a beach in a yellow one-piece bathing suit. What information were you dispatching with these shots? Behind-the-scenes from 'Bonjour Tristesse' by Durga Chew-Bose DCB: I always wanted the opening shot to be of a young man taking his T-shirt off. That exact frame is so iconic for many people's memories of summer. Immediately, we think: youth, summer, beach. I'd written in the script that the camera is very close to his body, not necessarily for the purpose of the female gaze, though obviously the shot is from Cécile's point of view. I wanted to figure out what was the detail that felt like the quintessential guy's detail. I asked Aliocha, 'How do you take off your T-shirt?' Because most women I know take off their T-shirts like this [Durga crosses her arms, miming taking off a shirt], and men go over their shoulder, like in the shot. I've always found that somehow attractive, the difference between how some men and the women take their T-shirts off, these natural inclinations. ED: That's a very subtle, poetic detail about something that people might dismiss as mundane. DCB: We actually shot that scene of him taking off his T-shirt more than any other scene in the film! Either the sky was too blue, or not blue enough. For whatever reason, taking off a T-shirt became a whole thing. [Laughter.] ED: Another subtle detail about that shot of his neck is the silver chain he's wearing — it gently helped place the scene in contemporary times, in the now. Because the T-shirt and one-piece are classic and could have been from almost any decade — 1970s, the 1940s. DCB: It definitely does make it contemporary. ED: That sense of being in the now but also a bit not came through in many ways. The script features a lot of lines that have a certain dignity about them that feel of an older time; something about the score also feels closer to how music used to be featured in movies. And there's that fantastic nod to Hitchcock's 1958 film 'Vertigo' in Chloë [Sevigny]'s hairstyle! But for me, that timelessness was especially conveyed with the costumes. Lots of full skirts, one-pieces, blouses with crisp collars, Lily's black Repetto flats, and then an Adidas sweatshirt! Which, like the chain, redirects us back to the present. Was this sense of timelessness intentional? Stills from 'Bonjour Tristesse' by Durga Chew-Bose DCB: I think it was the alchemy of several things. It wasn't necessarily something that Miyako and I explicitly agreed on. It was her reading of the script, and, as you noted, the sort of mannered way that the characters spoke. I love that you called it 'dignity.' It's also worth noting that this film is an adaptation of a book from the 1950s, and layered over that is the first adaptation of the film by Otto Preminger, which came out shortly after the book. All of that created an orbit of ideas of timelessness. I always said to everyone involved in the film, 'I don't want this to just be the contemporary version of 'Bonjour Tristesse.'' When I think about how to create that quality you mentioned, being out of step with time, how you create a world that makes the audience feel like they're escaping from or forgetting the now, costume is a great way to do that. ED: What's an example? DCB: Chloë's character Anne is a fashion designer, but I wanted to establish her at a certain point in her career. I felt like, what would Cécile remember of her from that summer? The answer was a woman whose collars are really crisp. Stills from 'Bonjour Tristesse' by Durga Chew-Bose Stills from 'Bonjour Tristesse' by Durga Chew-Bose ED: I love the idea of the crispness of a woman's shirt collar being part of the storytelling. There's a scene with a delicate lace coverlet on a bed that I'm thinking of, where Cécile's dad, played by Claes Bang, and Chloë are making a bed together. The coverlet felt like it was part of the storytelling too: They're creating something domestic together, something beautiful, but that is ultimately fragile as well. Was that the message in that scene? DCB: I think my production team was interpreting what I wrote in the script and felt like that was the right material for that exchange between Anne and Raymond. It's a scene where a man and a woman who share a very intense past are making a bed together, so describing that textile as 'domestic' is right. It's funny you bring up that coverlet, because the Balenciaga dress Chloë wore to our Toronto International Film Festival premiere was actually inspired by that scene. ED: That's amazing. DCB: Chloë is always thinking about character, and she wants the choices that she makes in her own life to be part of a narrative. Narrative building is how she approaches acting, which I learned so much from. I love artists who are always thinking about the extent of their artistry in their actual life. Behind-the-scenes from 'Bonjour Tristesse' by Durga Chew-Bose ED: Art imitates life but life also imitates art! Something about that coverlet must have felt important to her about her character. DCB: We did a lot of what I'll call fabric casting. The props team would show me various table settings for certain scenes; I'd talk with my cinematographer about it. Some of these decisions were actually purely technical — certain yellows just won't look good on a terrace in the South of France at 3 p.m. Maybe these are boring details, but they were an education for me. You can't just pursue aesthetic concepts. ED: That's a really important point. So much storytelling is conveyed in what might be considered a mundane, technical detail, yet that detail ends up creating a big impact. DCB: Exactly. At the end of the film, Lily is wearing a red wool dress. It was in a light shade of red, but at the 11th hour when we were shooting, Miyako was like, 'No, it's not the right shade of red!' So she went out and found a wool dye. ED: I love that! I read recently that the costume designer for the film 'Conclave' hated the shade of red that cardinals wear today, that on screen it looked really tacky. So she dyed all of the cardinals' costumes for the film a darker shade of red inspired by Renaissance portraits of cardinals. Like you said, big-picture aesthetic concepts dictate the costume design, but at the end of the day it also comes down to technical details that require a really sophisticated, experienced eye to perceive. DCB: Totally. Miyako really has that eye. I think she's also a world-builder. The anecdote about 'Conclave' is interesting because clearly the costume designer wasn't just wedded to fact and realism, but instead to world-building. Like within this story of what's happening in this movie, the red wasn't necessarily going to reflect reality. The way that characters talk in the script I wrote, we weren't really seeking realism or trying to mimic the now in a way that people would respond to with relatability. That wasn't going to be what drew them in. I wanted what drew them in to be something else, something that was achieved through world-building. Creating something that could feel like people knew where they were, but were also a bit unsure. ED: That sounds like you're describing what it's like to be inside of a dream. Behind-the-scenes from 'Bonjour Tristesse' by Durga Chew-Bose DCB: I love that. Early on, there was a conversation about how to capture Cécile's interiority without using [voice-over] narration in the film, which is what the Preminger adaptation does. One of the marvels of the book is its first-person narration, and we wondered, 'How do you do that on screen?' My hope is that the experience of watching it makes you ask, 'Did this really happen, or is this how Cécile remembers it?' The way I wanted to reflect Cécile's interiority was of those detailed moments that you commit to memory that change how you perceive womanhood, or love, or intimacy. ED: Do you mean that the film represents Cécile's memory? DCB: It wasn't some high-concept idea, I just think that generally if you're making a movie that has to do with a young woman, in the summer, you're immediately launched into memory more than you are into reality. ED: I want to return to Chloë's Balenciaga dress that was inspired by the coverlet. Maybe this is silly, but have you started dressing like any of the characters in the film? DCB: No, that's so interesting! I've definitely accumulated more vintage T-shirts since shooting 'Bonjour,' but I also feel like there's a quality to Cécile's costume design that reminds me of myself at a younger age, like a slightly sporty edge to it. ED: Sporty edge was totally your style in college. Behind-the-scenes from 'Bonjour Tristesse' by Durga Chew-Bose DCB: That time on set, everyone kind of became their characters. Lily literally still wears black Repetto flats, the same that she wears in many scenes in 'Bonjour.' It's sort of like there's an image that you can't unsee. There's no question, you kind of change with these sorts of big projects, and whatever that change is, I think for some people, it might be the way that they dress.
