      Fair enough. Fashion as an industry has generally been for a certain class, though.

      menswear has been on a boringness trajectory for like two hundred years, I blame democracy

      Hm? 70s and 80s menswear seemed pretty cool (although trad-menswear like suits have indeed been on a decline). I blame massive international supply chains/globalization for vastly increasing the uniqlo-bespoke price differential...

      one of my to-do writing things is to tie this together with the collapse of high art but I don't have a very good thrust yet

      but basically court dress in monarchies was about ornamentation and status-differentiation, notably codified in sumptuary laws defining who could wear what colors/fabrics

      this is the classic decadence pattern, germanic kingships had very simple warrior dress and the trend from like the 12th to 18th centuries was toward extravagance

      but with the beginning of evening dress in the regency era to the standardization of white tie in the victorian the trend reversed, toward uniformity and flattening of hierarchy

      since then casualwear has gone semi-formal, then formal, then relegated to period wear. tailcoats were for horseback riding, the dinner jacket was not something you allowed a woman to see you in

          and of course the business suit was once the lounge suit. in this way the path from business casual to smart casual to the as-yet unnamed tech worker tshirt and hoodie uniform...

          ...is just the logical next step in a trend that has been going for some time

          incidentally bespoke is a victim of baumol imo but you can get made-to-measure very cheaply compared to the past few decades because of globalization/supply chains

          there are tons of ~hip cool innovation~ suit/dress shirt startups that are really just thin software interfaces over subcontracting the work to bangladeshis or whatever now

          what do you think the future of fashion should be? the fusion of techwear and smart fabrics? body scans and made-to-measure for all?
