What outfits are you wearing this summer? If your style has taken a turn for the utilitarian, you’re not alone

In July 2020, it’s as if the world got embroiled in some very terrible problem, and a good deal of us were sent to a badly organized sleep-away camp, hemmed in by various rules, but otherwise shoved outside with no plans. With newly unemployed friends in Los Angeles, between their mutual aid shifts, an entire afternoon could involve sitting on our jean-short butts on some patchy grass, far from each other, pretending that we are closer.
For eight weeks a summer, from when I was 15 to when I was 19, I taught sailing at a sleep-away camp. One time a camper said the thing she liked best about me was that I was unembarrassable. A classic compliment from a child, cracked with insult, but I remember looking down — at my short duck boots, thick wool socks, paint-splattered green shorts, a flannel tied to define my natural waist , my name tag dangling on a lanyard, and my big summery confidence — and realizing, Huh. Okay.
The uniform, and its tiny variety within repetition, is the most decisive element of the camp ethos. On the first day that her new puppy was permitted to walk outside, my documentarian friend Nora sent me a picture of the pair of them. Never has a picture radiated so much first-day-of-camp eagerness. Pogo in summer cut and matching leash and collar ; Nora in swishy shorts , intentionally wrinkled crop top .
