Explain the point of fashion

wearable art and self-expression

>>12576778

An attempt to bridge the gap between the perception of oneself and how others perceive you - a manipulation of the immediately visiable to reflect that which isn't.

Or something that's arisen from people’s contradictory needs: the need for ownership of their independence, and the need to belong to something bigger than oneself (a clique or subculture or whatnot).

Or it's a meme idk

It's a business

not looking shit while dressing yourself in something that you enjoy.

also what >>12576824
said.

It's how to make money off of vain people with disposable income

I just like looking nice.
I'm not really into most /fa/ style "high fashion", I'm pretty normie when it comes to dressing, so it may be different for others, but /fa/ has helped my casual dressing improve and gave me some tips on things like glasses and places to buy jackets and stuff.

A hobby, a way of presenting a part of yourself, a way to change every so often

appeals to egotistical and vain people.
the more vain, and less traditional societies become, the more money can be made from fashion in those societies

Consumption.
