You're correct that I care about utility, but incorrect that it's vanity/fashion.

I think that we just think about fashion differently. Putting thought into what you wear for any reason, functional or otherwise, is fashion. Beyond that, you're choosing a suboptimal and uncommon item for "utility" (a fanny pack) where other, better options would suffice. Why? I can't answer that, maybe to make a statement. In any case, this choice is "fashion". Props to you for going out wearing what you like and not caring what other people think, be it flip flops or a fanny pack or a feather boa. Rock it!

  You're just playing word games. Fashion means what's popular/trending and `utility` means the exact opposite.

    > Fashion means what's popular/trending and `utility` means the exact opposite. Does it? Never heard that one before. I see a lot of people wearing fashion that isn't currently popular or trending, and a lot of utilitarian fashion (look up "techwear") I suppose I probably won't convince you otherwise, it seems very important to your belief system that utilitarian fashion choices not be considered fashion choices because otherwise it would mean you engage in fashion, a prospect you seem to find unpalatable.

      I think Websters Dictionary can solve this for you, if you're still confused. You can compare both utility v.s. fashion and see who's right if you want. In the context we're using these words they're the exact opposite.

        Are you sure you replied to the right post? Your reply doesn't seem to address either of the two points in the post to which you replied.

        You should just admit some people genuinely don't follow trends. Bro it took me like 6 years to even notice everyone but me had ONLY black socks. White is Faux Pas. bwahahahahaha.

        Yep 'utility' vs 'fashion'. Words 5yr olds can understand.

It seems important to you that others understand you are strictly utilitarian, that you're not like the others that busy themselves with frivolities like jewelry and designer sneakers. You dress yourself in a way that clearly communicates that. Some items are off limits because they don't fit the look. Flip flops? Not even as shower shoes, because you're a grown man. Deep irony here.

  I find it interesting when people try to redefine words to have the opposite meaning. We now have someone saying `utility` choices are actually `fashion/vanity` choices. lol. They're just transparently playing word games, on purpose, but it's still amusing.

    Not playing with words, I'll tell you straight up that you sound self-conscious about how you look.

      Like I just told the other insult comic on this thread: "Bro it took me 6 years to even notice I was the only one still wearing white socks". Kinda shoots down your theory.
