About This Piece

“Common sense is not all that common” is the observation everybody’s made and nobody can unmake.

It’s the oldest joke in the book because it’s the truest: the sense that’s supposed to be common keeps not showing up. In the streets, watching it miss people is a spectator sport.

This is for the sensible one — the woman who can’t believe what she has to explain, witness, or work around. Her common sense is uncommon, and she knows it.

It’s not arrogance. It’s exhaustion: the bar is on the floor and people keep limboing under it.

Rare sense. Common shirt. The irony writes itself.

Shop Women — statement wear for the culture's women: worth, standards, and unbothered energy.
