I've been lurking on this forum for a little while, as well as posting on AA which seems a little more conservative.
Here are my thoughts...
The "slim fitting" obsession : this must be an american thing, where all your clothes over there have to be cut for big people. The urgent need you have to show everyone else that you are thin by wearing tight clothes strikes me as a very woman-like behaviour. But again, if I were surrounded by fat people (read : poor white trash), I would probably also feel the need to show how fitted I am (being able to afford luxury clothes, nice fresh food & vegetables...etc).
The good bargain obsession : closely related to the precedent, bargain hunting for luxury clothes you cannot afford at the real price drives to buying one size smaller, bigger ...etc Having this clothes massively retailored to fit you drives to ill-fitting silhouette. Accept your body as it is, if you can't afford a Dior Homme suit, don't buy one instead of snatching one from ebay at discount which doesn't even fit you well.
The Ralph Lauren Purple Label obsession : this one speaks for itself. Come on, ultra tight shirt where you can't even move your arms with a double pleated white pants and a tie folded into the waistband ??? Who would even think dressing like such a clown ?
It's a bit trollish I admit. Feel free to flame.
