What makes fashion so inaccessible as a hobby? Why is it so

It's inaccessible because 90% of it is completely out of your control even if your monetary resources are unlimited

>>Why is it so costly?
because your personality and taste is defined in a brand and nothing else

wouldn't /biz/ be able to answer that question better

1. Anything that looks good 99% is expensive as shit
2. Playing dressup is basically an anti-hobby on tier with video games

I dress well and put time into it, but I would never call it a hobby.

Consuming isn't a hobby.

If you think fashion is a costly "hobby" i'd hate to see how you react the amount people drop on cars, boats, guns, etc.

and im referring to regular people not rich ones

>regular people
>boats as a hobby

Yeah, nah.

That's just not true though.

>>12051358
yes, it is. when you're no longer a teenager $100 for a jacket seems impractical

NO, this is not including thrifting, just msrp in general.

>>12051361
Yes, but something like a jacket will last a long time so it's really not that unreasonable to pay $100 for one. If you want to collect jackets, on the other hand, it could get quite expensive. But you can look good by investing in a few quality pieces that will last a long time.

>$100 for a jacket
but that's cheap as fuck for a jacket, you won't get any quality at that price
if you aren't a teenager or homeless $100 is not a lot of money
I thought we were talking about $2k+ designer stuff and not low end mall tier garbage

Because you're a fucking idiot who buys fashion and not style, you shallow whore.

>>12051361
No, when you're not longer a teenager 100 bucks for a jacket either seems too good to be true or a steal 'cause you're a grown ass adult whose done growing so you can spend hundreds for clothing 'cause you'll be able to wear them for the rest of your life if they're good quality and you don't turn into a fat fuck

Unless it's on sale or there's some price irregularity. Got a sweet Alpha Industries parka for 120 when I saw it listed at 250

or maybe people are actually interested in fashion and textiles instead of just "dressing well"
