Etymology
'intentionally-worn' originates from the combination of 'intentionally,' meaning 'done on purpose,' and 'worn,' meaning 'damaged or aged through use.'
The term 'intentionally-worn' evolved from the fashion industry's trend of creating items that appear aged or used for stylistic purposes.
Initially, 'worn' simply referred to items that had been used over time, but with the addition of 'intentionally,' it now refers to a deliberate stylistic choice.
