Fashion and costumery are an inescapable fact of our affluent, postmodern, consumerist economy.
No one escapes.
Some welfare-to-work programs provide 'job interview suits', so at some level, we believe it's an integral part of social welfare.
And, that's why "the homeless" are fucked. (With the quotes, I am excluding those homeless who don't appear to be homeless but look like 'normal' people.)
