Miss Neecerie said:So you are attributing a motive to someone who you have never met or spoken to's dress?
Actually, no matter -how- one expresses ones taste...its a self standing matter.....saying my right to express myself is not equal to someone else's because they have motives you better agree with....is exactly the whole problem.
Superiority.....our motives are better then theirs....our dress is better then theirs...our morals are better then theirs...etc.
Different does not equal better. It's a sad thing that people here cannot ever just live and let live in terms of visual aesthetics.
Precisely the reason why so many people drop out of the vintage lifestyle due to the snobbish behavior and attitude of people. Rather then lure them into it....chase them away.
Expressing your taste is one thing and going along with the crowd is another. If one spends hundreds of dollars to feel that one belongs to a "group" then I think one has more problems than just one's clothing budget.
Of course our dress is better than theirs. How is it not? Most vintage wear is impeccably made and well tailored suits cost much more. Vintage wear also lasts longer. These aren't subjective observations but objective facts. The suit is objectively superior than jeans and a t-shirt. That doesn't necessarily mean that the person wearing the suit is superior; however, his clothing is superior to the person wearing jeans and t-shirt.
