If I can interject -
I find menswear to be my hobby. I detest sports, cant stand politics, and dont garden. But I love clothes. I havent worn a tie in months but I get ties in that Im like OOOHFUCK thats a good one and want to buy immediately. Because I love them. Am I alone in having a hobbyist POV on menswear (which trickles down to consumerism) (and in my case a sustainability aspect because all my purchases are pre owned)? I mean, I appreciate - and therefore purchase - things from Kapital and RRL to Formosa and Anderson & Sheppard. Even if I never wear them, I appreciate them like a car collector who has a garage of 25 automobiles that he's never driven.
StyleForum is not the root cause of overspending, or epitome of consumer culture as you say, but basically the #menswear communities biggest AA meeting and gathering of junkies under the bridge at a single convergence point.
