The idea of having a few guys decide how woman will suffer for beauty this season, is just plain asinine AFAIC. Like a beautiful panorama or the setting sun, real beauty does not go out of style. Anything other then using the most efficient materials and styles to cover our bodies makes no sense. Besides the realty that for most of us, the desire for love, approval and appreciation makes us willing to sacrifice comfort, money and sanity to keep up with the latest fashion trends. We're all doing it for everyone else who are doing it for everyone else. It's the biggest joke, and it's on us.

[ETA Un]Tznius is clearly the avoda zara of our generation. Those truthful and brave enough will wake up to the farce of fashion and stand up to the madness. Just as we cannot fathom what people got from defecating on a rock for a"z, we will one day scratch out heads at how we could have been crazy enough to follow stupid trends, to what end?

efficient? What's efficient about a Prince Albert frock coat? Or long sleeves and stockings in 90^ weather? Wearing extra layers of clothing beyond the body's need for insulation is decidedly inefficient.

I agree that fashion is overrated.

Fashion.

good post, DQ.

btw, I don't care about the latest fashions, I wear what I like.

i bet you still follow fashions, just not the latest ones.

Wow, and here I had thought you were a member of the OPS

If the glove fits I'll wear it

Some fasions are timeless. Those are the ones I normally wear.
