I think fashion is important, if there's this much money in it and so many regular people like it it must be good. I usually just wear crap. I don't like designer things that much, they look weird.


There's a lot of money in Justin Bieber and a lot of "regular" people like that crap. It's not an indication of quality or importance. The "crap" that you wear probably won't look completely embarrassing in five years, like most fashion will.

I've never listened to Justin Bieber, but I'm sure he's alright. I always figured you guys just hate on normal things since it makes you feel better about yourselves, it probably will, I don't know how to dress myself at all.

Fashion can denote character traits. People use clothes to express who they are. There are certain clothes for certain jobs or roles that people have to play.

Now that's just mean. ;)

I don't hate on normal things, I hate on things that I feel deserve it.

No, no, no.

You're supposed to get all insulted and then insult something I like.

I think. Isn't that how the internet works?

I will never get fashion, it's a lot like the beauty industry. It thrives on peoples insecurities. I hate when people say things like "you should have a sense of style" or "be more fashionable" these things are overrated imo and mostly just used to get you to buy more clothes.

I would often get made fun when I wore clothing that was deemed to be a bit weird. Which really surprises me considering how people like Lady Gaga and other celebrities who always dress really strange are considered fashion icons. I guess their type of weird is ok. :roll:

I don't get why anybody would want to keep up with it. It changes far too often, things that were considered fashionable years ago are now deemed ugly and things that were seen as ugly some time ago are now fashionable? Who decides theses things :?

The whole it's makes people feel better about themselves and makes them feel more confident excuse doesn't sit well with me. I think it's pretty sad that someone has to look and dress a certain way to feel confident. We should learn to be proud of who we and not give a damn what the fashion elite think.

/rant over.

But a good half the time I leave the house in pajama pants and a T-shirt. Especially to classes.

It's all about how the world perceives you. If you don't care, then good for you. I know that when I doll myself up, put on my bollywood star face (Can't pull off Hollywood, too brown-and-proud) and my pumps, the world is an entirely different place. Women don't make eye contact as much because I am superior to them, men make it more because in every way they cry for my attention. I am shouting to the world who I am in every way. My legs free up to a dangerous point because I'm not modest and heck i just don't like pants, every piece and layer pressing on my body tells everyone something about me.

I rouge my lips when I feel prim, and authoritative. When I just want to laugh and run around they're glossed so the light bounces off my smile. When I want to kiss they're bare, and faintly lined, looking puffier and vulnerable. I'm giving signals out into the world, freely for all to see. It's a mask of my true expressions. And it broadcasts to all a small story about me.

And it tells me more about them. When I present myself as an elite to society, in expensive clothes and at my most attractive, people smile more at me, other people won't look me in the face. It tells me so much more about the esteem and situation of every person I see in my day.

It's a choice. Gazing into a jeweled kaleidoscope at will. It's addictive too, and that's when it's a problem. Especially the teenaged girl conception that MORE makeup gets you further into that pretty jeweled place. It takes them farther away but it doesn't matter, because most of why they wear it is to improve how they see themselves. The pretty people live vastly different lives, where the world is unnaturally accommodating and bad things rarely happen. There are no deadlines and no boundaries keeping you where the normal people need to be. I like fading into the background just as much as I like lighting up a room, so many days it's a comfortable sundress that doesn't cover up entirely the fact that I have no patience to wear anything other than a sports bra, and no makeup.

But others, I yearn for the double-take people will do to try to meet my eyes just one more time before I pass.

THAT IS ALL THERE IS BEHIND THE ACTUAL REASON NT FEMALES BOTHER LOOKING HOT. Whether they know it or not.


Superb! You said it better than I did. So if any of you guys are wondering, this is why SOME of us NT chicks are this way. I should add, the majority of NTs aren't that fashionable in the first place. It isn't about the brand--which a lot of unfashionable people think it is. I cannot tell you how many times I've cringed when I've seen a girl walking around with Uggs and an Abercrombie shirt on. Just because it's expensive doesn't mean that it's great :roll:

Most fashionistas get their clothes from the thrift store or vintage stores anyway. With maybe one or two items that are a bit more pricey... Like the shoes. My shoes are probably the most expensive things on me since I love Doc Martens for the comfort. Also, you'll be amazed how people treat you when you dress better. They're much nicer and as Anika said, they smile at you.

But my hypothesis is that they're smiling because you're walking with confidence because you know you're the s**t.

Unfashionable people often look better than so called fashionable people imo.

Define dressing better, who decides who dresses good or bad? and why should we believe them? People treating me better because I dress a certain way isn't a good excuse and won't make me change. I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not.

Fashion is really just a from of social control when you think about it.

Never been into fashion. One rule I follow, no colors.

I'm into fashion. I just don't follow today's fads and trends. I wear clothes similar to what The Kinks wore from 1964-1966. If people hate me for it, they don't have to look at me.

The concept that how clothing looks is more important than how it feels makes absolutely no sense to me. Why not be comfortable in your clothing rather than choosing it based off of how it fits in with everyone else?
