I have never tried to follow the fashions. When I went to school, I was out regardless of how I dressed. My children are the same way about fashion. They don't want to wear something they hate because it is "in style". We would rather wear what we like, and ignore the styles. My oldest loves ruffles and my second is more of a tomboy and likes plain clothes. We like full skirts and wear them, even when hobble skirts are in.

Fashion is overrated by a mile. I dress for comfort.

Oh HECK NO!! !! ! Fashion is simply the best! I don't follow it but I wear amazing clothes. I'm not one of those girls that walk around in a mens t-shirt and sweatpants. I wear all womens clothes unless I'm sleeping. Then I wear ratty mens shirts and sometimes silky pajama bottoms.

I've never followed the latest trends. I just wear what I like. Here is one such sample of what I like to wear.

I couldn't care less. I don't have to impress anyone so there's no point.

I like paying attention to what people are wearing, because I'm fascinated with pop culture in general. I'd also like to engrave it in my memory so that, years from now, I can remember all the fads from when I was a teenager.

I don't despise it, but I don't follow the "rules."

I am!

I don't hate fashion, but I don't follow it either. I wear whatever feels good on me and whatever I think looks "cool" regardless of whether or not it's in or out of style. Heck, I wouldn't mind having a wardrobe full of clothes from a thrift store!

I appreciate the imagination and dedication that go into fashion. An eye for style. There are some creative geniuses showing their wares on the catwalks plus the regular folks on the streets who can pull an outfit together and make it their own.

I ignore it. I wear whatever is comfortable and looks good.

I wear what I find in charity shops. Some of it was conceivably fashionable once.

I wear what I like the look of, if it's worn by lots of other people it's likely to put me off it.

I don't like the idea of being told what I like by an industry as manipulative as the fashion industry. I'm a jeans, t-shirt and Russian Style coat kinda guy

I don't despise it, but I don't find it relevant. I am wearing a t-shirt and jeans which look the same as the t-shirt and jeans I wore 20 years ago. They are different clothes.

Fashion is irrelevant.
