This is my favourite article so far on Soliquidas—thank you. I’ve grown up saying to my friends who dress with style, “You look dandy!” but never really appreciated where that comes from.
I also found myself reflecting on how, growing up, I had a bit of a rebellious attitude toward people dressing up for church—it felt overly focused on appearances. But I now realise that I was viewing it through my own white British lens, and not recognising how, in other cultural contexts, style—especially in religious or community settings—can be a powerful form of dignity, resistance, and identity.

So glad it resonated with you in such a deep way!
Wonderfully crafted...not just a nod to presenting well externally but a posture of the heart 🙏🏿❤️
Such a great read
