Soft Colonial Wanderlust

Soft colonial wanderlust romanticizes colonial-era travel and explorer dress, appropriating that imagery while leaving the historical violence behind it unaddressed. Linen explorer-style garments carry it. Pith helmet-inspired accessories go on top. Colonial-era silhouettes come in cream or khaki, in a traveler look the source itself flags as problematic.
