I'm not much of a fashionista but it has to fit me and then, given that, I don't want to look absurd or a refugee from some oddball cult. And that last isn't random snark - a great deal of fashion was intended to show class, status and social role. That's been making less and less sense, but some factions of our culture still cling to it. I tried to pick a good example to show rather than a bad example to mock. Having pointed to it, please notice what a narrow range of women would be flattered by those styles. We all define ourselves with fashion to some extent - and why not, it's fun and we need pockets. But gender and social roles are very much in flux, so designs that don't get in the way very much have a place in the mix.
