Fashion is about intimidation.
It's müllerian mimicry for humans. Sometimes it's even Batesian.
The goal isn't to look good. The goal is to look scary.
And there are many ways to be intimidating. Through the formal as much as the casual.
And the question is, of course, who is your predator? Who do you need to warn? Who do you need to fool?
Who's going to take the warning as a signal to. come closer?
