Fashion as in human clothing for humans as superior than sports cars, luxury cars, fancy homes, etc:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Turning your own body into a Lamborghini<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A thought I had when looking at armored knights:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re essentially wearing similar body plating to what you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d get on a modern sports car or hyper car:<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Why not turn your body into a Lamborghini?<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Clothing as your color palette <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Change your clothes like your paint job. It doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t gotta be expensive \u00e2\u20ac\u201d ZARA and Uniqlo are always good choices. Or even clothes on Amazon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fashion changes how you feel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When I wear different clothes I feel different. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s fun to play \u00e2\u20ac\u0153dress up\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. Also more effective to change your wardrobe than doing plastic surgery or buying really expensive new things like cars, homes, watches, and jewelry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Showing your aesthetics and ethics through your clothing (and social signaling).<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If I wear Nike Air Force sneakers, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m signaling I like hip hop culture. If I wear \u00e2\u20ac\u0153all black everything\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, I signal that I like minimalist aesthetics. There\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s no right or wrong aesthetic \u00e2\u20ac\u201d just follow your own taste of what you consider looks good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To fast fashion or not to fast fashion?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tricky \u00e2\u20ac\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. No matter how nice the clothes we buy, we will get bored of it (even if it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s very high quality). Also, higher quality clothes are more expensive.<\/li>
  2. Fast fashion looks good, and is cheap. In theory if you get bored of it, you cam donate it or sell it to a thrift store.<\/li>
  3. Fast fashion is far more affordable than more expensive luxury brands, which democratizes fashion. Now anyone can look stylish, regardless of money.<\/li><\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
