Then get the fuck out of the fashion forum. People who love fashion know the pleasure that looking great and having a sense of style can bring. It feels great to wear a nice light cashmere sweater, or walk around in handcrafted shoes made the traditional way. I just got a pair made by John Lobb, (www.johnlobb.com) and I have had so many compliments on them.

I don't think you're supposed to take the quote literally, in the sense that the money you spend on your clothing equals who you are.

When you're in clothes that fit and look great, you feel great, regardless of the dollar value associated with your clothing.

Isn't this the basis of fashion itself? Doesn't everyone want to wear good-looking clothing?

It's a shame that people mistakingly interpret buying expensive clothing as being an upper-class elitist snob, or, as you so eloquently put it, a means of determining their worth based on the dollar value of their clothes.

*Sigh*

Now we all have our tastes and spending limits. You might consider a $120 shirt to be way too much, but it's not your money, and you won't be the one wearing it, so don't go around making assumptions that he's buying such expensive clothing to make up for his shortcomings.

I didn't say that $120 is way too much to spend on a shirt. I have some expensive clothes myself. But I said it's pathetic that you think that clothes, or more specifically the money you spend on clothes, defines you as a person. At first I found it funny, but really it's quite sad.
