Gab: Style Psyche
"Is this basic dichotomy between men's and women's fashions an anachronism (a hold-over from the way things used to be), is it still fundamentally to get men to notice women, or is there some inner drive that goes beyond social influence that motivates women to dress more provocatively than men?"-- ROADRUNNER

"There is a lot in saying that women dress for each other. But that's only part of the story. They also try to one-up each other. It's the way of humans. Most women that aren't married probably dress partly for attraction and partly to look better than the available girl in the next cubicle." --MODMALE2

Style Snippet: Personally yours
