Utility is reason based on logic; it's adaptation to ever changing circumstances, which is the means of our survival, according to the laws of nature. Fashion outside of utility is creativity leading to culture on the positive side, and vanity, greed, insecurity, deception, hedonism etc. on the negative side. Even while ignoring the negatives, we are left with the reasonable question on what's more important culture or survival?
it's morally corrupt
What morals do you mean? The human lies based on a fixed etiquette forced upon you, or the natural "law of the land" which is based on constant adaptation? Natural morality stems from the consequences of our actions in between the barriers of life and death, which is what our instincts are calibrated to, and which is what we are allowed to navigate by using common sense.
You just sound bitter and spiteful, with nothing meaningful to say.
Because I don't care about fashion? Nobody ever called me out for how I dress. I mean why would they? I don't make a spectacle out of optics to appease others. You on the other hand didn't tell me the benefits you get out of your fashion first, but ask for my opinion instead. That clearly shows were your priorities are...on the opinions of others, which is vanity, which has a cause. This is not an attack on you; it's just an observation, from a guy who doesn't care for the opinions of others. Think about it.
What do you mean what morals do I mean? You claimed fashion stemmed from vanity, greed, and hedonism. You said fashion is important because of these common human errors of morality. Now you're saying you don't care about it? I think you confused yourself with all your self-righteous bullshit.

Fashion without utility stems from vanity, greed, and hedonism. Fashion with utility is culture added to reason. It's about the intent. Everything we do has both sides of the coin in it (life and death) and it's on us uphold the balance with our actions. For example the sun is nourishing, healing and warming us, but if we fall for it's temptation it's going to kill us easily. This is how nature teaches the importance of balance; of the natural order. This applies to everything.

No I didn't. Fashion is important for it's utility, and has cultural benefits to it. It also has many deadly temptations associated to it, because it's a mask, and a mask hides stuff. If your intent of hiding isn't protection, than things are getting dangerous. And the opinion part was about me not caring about outside opinions about fashion. If you come to me and tell me the benefits of why you wear fancy shit then we can argue, but seeking approval in the opinions of others about something like fashion is purely based on self esteem issues; which is vanity.
The whole problem with fashion is that it's based on the lie of individuality. People try to create personalities by masquerading to receive a public reaction. They do this because they were indoctrinated to believe that if you stand out from the collective then you can prove your individuality. They shove this down our throats everywhere..."just do it", "living la vida loca", "express yourself", "yolo" etc. That's all deception, because everything you use to express yourself with is offered by them to everyone. So you base your individuality on fashion, cosmetics, entertainment, hobbies, job, education, name, bank account, credit card, insurance, licenses, birth certificates and so on. This is all been given to you as well as everyone else to participate in. Tell me how can a slave be an individual if he does the same thing as all the other slaves, while using the tools his slavers gives him? This system does not create individuality, it creates the opposite...conformity, slaves, the blind masses, consumer, cattle, goys.
In nature we are not individuals, we are part of a collective, which is our race, and if a race is strong enough to protect their family units, then these can procreate us (blood), which has the chance of individual traits, like intelligence, creativity, strength etc. These individual traits are then used to give our collective (race) culture that is needed to grow a nation (race holding land) into a civilization. The lie of individuality is forced upon us to destroy our individual traits, by making us selfish, hedonistic consumers, and fashion is one way to do it.
