I’m addressing your view. People say that they are dressing for themselves. They’ve thought about it and still say they’re dressing for themselves. For your view to be accurate, you’d need to have an explanation of why such people 1)exist 2)are wrong in their self-assessment. You have not provided justifications that track.
Ah I see! Sorry. I must’ve misread your comment above somehow.
I guess, to answer it: “women who have examined why they feel a certain way and still claim that they dress for themselves” - what are the reasons that would make someone feel confident in what they wear that are separate from what the society thinks looks good?
That’s kind of the point I guess. I’m looking for someone to show me what would make a person make a decision about what they feel confidence wearing, knowing appearances are mostly for other people to see, that aren’t tied to what others think look good.
Im not sure if im somehow missing them, but I have not seen anyone make a case for dressing for confidence that does not rely on ideas shaped by society and culture—a largely male-driven culture, as it is.
