Re: Dress Is not An End In Itself
I think too, following on, that because man is a social animal and has groups, parties, clubs and events, a general social expectation for the dress within the group and for certain activities, oils the wheels; reduces dress as a focal point (as though every event were a fashion parade), reduces the chance of awkwardness and fear of ridicule, and strengthens the bonds between the group members. I can see an argument that igentism has evolved out of the fact that these social expectations are loosening up and many people don't know what to wear anymore, and they set about using events which have a deeper, social objective as mere frameworks in which they act out their igent phantasies (or fantasies, if you like!), after having taken earnest and studied advice from f**k-wits on certain igent sites.

Re: Dress Is not An End In Itself
FNB - I'm curious -I'd imagine they are more like denim trousers than jeans - if that makes sense
