Clothes Did they take fashion too far?

I carry around screwdrivers in my pockets but the problem is that sometimes they cause holes.
Similar problems with crotch sizes.
Correct waist size but incorrect crotch size.
I feel like I am sitting on a rope with small crotch.
For martial arts that seems fortunate to me, more than 10 years ago every club I went to including ones that practice martial arts rejected me at one look, for skin colour and school issues. Now I don't see much clubs advertising that. Most of the people in that area used the skills not only for defence but for their criminal benefit which could explain on why the area was getting violently worse.
Eight beer bottles in trousers? I would like to see that.

Anyway I can't say that about 4 years ago when they had those other collection of clothes that fitted me, I justed walked in there, picked up some trousers on sale, tried them on and walked out contented. Now I have a headaches searching shop by shop and criticising the clothes everytime, not so much style but mainly the sizes and quality.
Finding sources that do the correct measurements in their clothing seems one way forward.

First they invented Abercrombie, that they still being good and nice quality clothes.
Then Polo Ralph Lauren, nice but the were only polos, with a man in a horse, but the quality in the polos was awsome.
Then Lacoste, same as Ralph Lauren Polos, except for a crocodrile and the best quality in a polos ever made.
Then Hollister, exactly as Abercrombie Tees, but they're nice with good designs.
The Armani Exchange, they weren't polos or tees, at least, but they were only for people that it isn't fat, well for people with athletic bodies.
I began buying all this clothes the last year, then I got crazy with their designs. I think I could take me a photo with this an abercrombie, RalphL, Lacost, Hollister and Armani, and I will show you what I'm talking about.

That is a point, for other people it may be too far in that fits and suits them or too far out for other people who don't like it and vice versa on the people searching for the clothes they need.
I mean in my place, taking fashion too far in that the shops influence or want people to wear the same clothing as they are running a monopoly by their advertisments. In almost everywhere I go to the shops sell the same exact clothing but no other. That is what I mean by taking fashion too far in several places that do this but I do not mean for a global scale everywhere. You said fashion is huge but fashion in my place is limited according to mostly the same numbers. All I want is plain clothing and it has never been easy for me to find that in the shops. Now it is worse by flooding the market here with the same types of clothing. Clothes shops, markets, most department stores I been to are now selling the same limited choices of clothes brands as the other and the same measurement sizes.
Fashion taken too far in one place by limiting choice, sizes and putting too much unwanted billboards on most of the clothing which can eventually encourage people to get into that fashion and become victims to aggressive advertising and can cause negative attention. But I do not mean in taking fashion too far in features of the clothing to a global scale or places where there are plenty of clothes like for gothic style or anything different to what I don't prefer. It is not good to just have a restricted number of choices in every shop of the same thing. In my place they take fashion too far in that context of choice and quality. As you described the choices in your first post for the expensive clothes with the little logos on it compared to the cheaper clothes with the larger logos, in this context that is not taking it too far at people but it could be if that choice was so limited like my place.
If you think you can find me trousers to the according crotch size, waist size, leg size, elasticated legs and elasticated waist, 100% cotton, plain and black show me. I would like to see.
To order them on sites will cost me a lot of money which I may consider if I am so desparate with a risk of sending it back.

Making me look pretty at the cost of comfort.
Unless some people value it so much that it excceds their values of comfort or even living in self denial.

Logos don't actually bother me that much, if only becaue I don't really see them very often. Maybe I'm not looking hard enough.

Could you explain your opinion/fact on why the second question is biased?
(For clothes that are full of logos.)
Logos don't actually bother me that much, if only becaue I don't really see them very often. Maybe I'm not looking hard enough.
I was looking at some expensive fashion shops on television and I very rarely saw clothes that were scribbled full of logos. Some of the trousers I buy are so droopy that I have to hem the legs to a couple of inches.
As it seems to me:
One type of clothes for the common people.
<Isn't there an inbetween here?>
Other types of clothes but only for the rich in posh places.

Those are things like the labels and loops for hanging. They are mostly put right at the back of the neck for shirts and coats. It irritates and causes me rashes. When I remove them it causes holes in which needs to be stitched up after. Why couldn't they put these things somewhere else in the name of comfort or maybe I am too sensitive.
Trousers and pants labels are just as annoying and more risky to pull off and when they are not stitched up the holes get bigger after washing.
Who here finds labels and loops at the back of shirt tops and pants irritating?

and it's still nearly impossible to find girl-pants with decent pockets.
Remember Emu's face, people; one day it's going to be on the news alongside a headline about blowing some landmark to smithereens, and then we can all sigh and say, "She was such a normal person".....

Well,.in most cases..girls pants arent equipped with very large pockets, being that most girls usually carry purses. Soceity really sucks sometimes, ..society in itself is nothing more than commonly accepted guidelines of how the majority of citizens should behave to peacefully coexist...thats the definition, in a nutshell. So, if youre a girl that wants larger pockets because you dont like to carry a purse, or maybe you just like having big pockets,.youre at a loss as society insists girls clothes should be tightly conformed to a girls curvy body. just making observations here. its a double-egded sword-trust me,.. it pitfalls men just the same.,.just like how most men in the white collar industry are expected to wear neckties and tie the knots to absolute perfection every morning..even when we are running late to work. a clip-on tie is percieved as being a man who lacks the skill to tie a tie correctly, and wearing such a tie tends to make you appear unskilled at other functions as well. and its easy to tell them apart,..mostly being that clip-ons dont come in a wide assortment of colors and styles, and clip-ons have too perfect of a triangular knot in them.

The stuff ranges from really flashy to low key. The price is always right too, very cheap.
It's all I have. Stuff fits well too. Although it's hit and miss since 1 type of shirt may only come in 1 or 2 sizes.
I'm slender, but hot, so whatever, everything looks good on me.
