If not, why? - I’d rather have the physical items. - I like physically having my clothes/ accessories and often mix and match items so I always get my wear out of things that I purchase. - This could feed into issues which already exist with Photoshopping and displaying unrealistic body types online. Purchasing a digital form of clothing would minimise clothing waste but places a lot of pressure on individuals to buy clothes for purpose of sharing an image of themselves on social media. Clothing could become a way of surveillance and the element of comfort is lost. - It may look too fake on my body and completely edited. If they could find a way to make it look like I was genuinely wearing the products then sure but it would otherwise just look stupid. - Sounds a little bit too “for show”. I fear we live in a world now where the image of us on social media is more important than what we are as a person. it feels as if that fits into influencer culture and the fake ness of instagram a little too much for my liking. i don’t actively/ don’t want to post pictures of me on instagram in digital outfits just for validation. i like to post pictures just because. - It would be something to think about in the future but I would have to see what it’s like first.
