All fashion has symbolism. Just because you ignore doesn't mean it isn't there.

- aflag 6y agoFair enough. My point was that I don't think that's such a big reason for people to wear cargo pants, as I've wore and seen people wearing it, yet that was never communicated to me. It's anecdotal, I agree.
- elric 6y agoNot every garment is a fashion statement. Some people dress for practicality, and not to appease others' innane sense of fashion or vanity.
- aahhahahaaa 6y agoThis is like saying "stop making everything political." It's not even possible. Everything is a statement, the lack of intention can be doubly so. There are entire utilitarian schools of thought in fashion just like there is in everything else. Also fashion doesn't exist solely to please others! I wouldn't dismiss an entire massive industry as inane. Vanity is a big part of it like a lot of other things, but if you're making a conscious choice in what you wear... fashion is playing some small role.
- aflag 6y agoEverything can be analysed from a political, fashion or symbolic aspect. However, that analysis is not always insightful or even relevant sometimes. For instance, Lorenz transformation applies to every body in motion, however it's the wrong tool to describe most of the movement we encounter on Earth.
