the single greatest thing you can do for your sanity is to take life seriously. we live in a profoundly irony-poisoned society and you cut off 1/100th of what life can offer you by being a goofball. the jester may be near the king but he does not sit at the hand of the father
Really enjoyed this piece on the history and evolution of ivy fashion by @thesamparr. 'Dressing well' should be a high priority for men and women.
It goes along with @jordanbpeterson's concept of "make your bed". You dress well -> you get compliments -> you realize you can change your life by doing things -> you do more of those things (going to the gym, getting a job, working harder) -> your life changes
Most often when I lack consideration for what I wear or don't have my living/work environments in order, things around me seep into chaos.
Not to mention, fashion is a creative pursuit and is a way for anyone to express themselves at any point in time. Most people don't have a creative outlet and fashion could be one of them.
