    i never understood why we’ve permitted a purely social construct such as fashion to determine our life choices.

    wear what you want, man. be proud and confident. and be happy. don’t let the world tell you what works for you.

      Well I am wearing what I want. But I still value the advice of other people. Because without input from you guys I may never discover things that are unknown to me but can make a huge difference if taught to me by other people like you guys here.

      Comfort way before fashion, unless doing so would contravene social norms in a place or at a time where doing so would be disadvantageous for you.

        these pesky social norms are the thing with which i have a problem.

        fuck social norms. who even came up with these norms anyway?

          Society. I think it’s an inevitable outcome of human interaction. Probably serves some purpose. I’m with you on the “wear what you want” sentiment, but be aware that how others perceive you will, consciously or unconsciously, impact how they interact with you.

      This isn’t a fashion question and it’s not a life choice.

      It’s a style question and it’s a style choice.

      some social constructs are enjoyable. Some people enjoy developing their taste in aesthetic fields. it’s okay.

      that’s why this community exists. If you don’t like it, I recommend you unsubscribe.
