As you have probably noticed from my previous blog posts, my personal preference for how I would like to dress and how I would like to present myself to the world is the chic, elegant, classic look. I’ll go so far as to say that I think that the vast majority of the world would immeasurably improve by “classing” up their attire, snobbish and obnoxious though that may sound.
That being said, there is another look that, regardless of my personal preference, I cannot help but respect. Counterculture.
Truth be told, you can consider the Amish counterculture, fashion-wise. Actually, you can consider the Amish counter-culture everything-wise. And I do. The Amish maintain a lifestyle that they believe is right, regardless of outside influences. I am not saying that I would live an Amish lifestyle or dress as an Amish woman. I will say that I find the way that the Amish dress to be very attractive. Because it suits them. (Although I know this is slightly counterproductive to the effect that they had intended to achieve.)
Counterculture fashion is just about that: dressing in a manner that suits you as an individual, having absolutely nothing to do with society.
How can you help admiring those few who are not only adamant about but comfortable with their individuality? They have no apologies. They exist.
Deal with it.
