The Basis of Judgement

All judgement has to be made on the basis of something. Something cannot be judged as "right" or "wrong" without a sound basis by which each conclusion can be reached. Fashion is a sort of judgement, too. I'm beginning to suspect that most guys have "poor" fashion sense not because they're entirely color blind, but perhaps because they never learned a sort of fashion sense that is "acceptable" to most other people who believe that they have some sort of fashion sense. I think media imagery has a large impact on how we view ourselves. If what we wear does not conform to what we see and "know" as something that looks "good", then we feel that it looks bad. If the cutting of a dress is just a few angles too shallow, it doesn't look good. Glamour is probably an overriding factor in this, however, since some absurd stuff worn by celebrities seems to become fashionable overnight. Hence, there is no fixed basis by which fashion is judged. Corsets may be fashionable one day, yet be totally unwelcome another, only to make a comeback sometime in the future. I say...wear what's comfortable...and affordable. heh.
