My mind was changed by that thing I read about the Japanese approach to perfect form. Now I may have twisted it to mean something it may not, because of elements of it being lost in translation, but the perfect form, whether in our heads, or shared with others, is the thing to be perfected, not  for the expression of the individual, which is the way we really have been lead into think is the importance of clothes. A very OCD and soulless approach I guess, but perfection and balance is in our nature, look what happens when we don't have balance. It seems like a noble cause, well as much as any. I believe the point being made, was the correct thinking follows when the form is right, the mind has adopted all the right attributes by realising the form.

Anyway, I won't wear things I don't like, but the things I do like seem to work to an idea of balance, it happens that these things surround two certain periods in American fashion namely the 1920's and 1955-67 or there abouts. If it happend any other time or with any other style, I'd be into that. The form communicates something that rings true in me, and because of that I wish to emulate it, and perfect it. If that means I'm a throw back fair enough, but like with what RS said, some one keen to proportion will probably avoid the things that don't work, and because of that yu have a style that doesn't suffer from exaggeration, and ages better because it is dealing with space, and not time.
