says we might even rent out clothes
With today's fast fashion churning out clothes with shorter and shorter lifespans combined with our cultural love of replacement over repair, we basically already do.
I always find it amazing that people actually give a fuck about fashion and don't just wear what they like. I don't get it, fashion is supposed to be a statement about yourself, not about the company that made your clothes. Wear a T-shirt and jeans, wear cargo pants, wear whatever you want because you're supposed to be making a statement about who you are, not who a company wants you to be.
Advertising is a hell of a drug.
And peer pressure.
I grew up in OC, So Cal, and bailed out to a rural mountain area some years ago. I wear jeans, tshirts, hoodies/jackets and either work boots or flip flops on an average day (I'll still dress up for weddings and other events that call for it). Every time I go back down there to visit, My brother and best friend feel the need to try to dress me like a damn ken doll before we can go anywhere, to no avail and it turns into an idiotic argument every time. I've repeatedly explained that I wear what's confortable, and I don't give two shits what some uppity muppets think of me based on how i'm dressed. I'm already married, have a great job, and make good money, so I'm not out to impress anyone.
For the record, all of my clothes are always clean and in good repair, I just dress extremely casual and confortable. I think these guys are just so would up in the rat race that they have trouble imagining life otherwise.
Fashion is wearing what you like, unless you're talking about trends.
