Clothes Make The Man? Or Man Makes The Clothes?

we can all argue all day long (all of us got good points), but it is the tailor that makes the man. my 2cents

 

I like this. Almost blatant but logical. Yet, in a manner of conciseness.

 

To justify the topic, (well, this may sound unlikely as this will appear like deviating from the topic itself but in any case, I’ll go on) it’s not whether the clothes can make one feel comfortable or vice-versa. It’s more on the tailor side who takes responsibility of everything (i.e. raw materials, preparation for either commercial use or otherwise, the fitting of the wearer, etc.).

 

Anyway, let’s see if I can take a pick.

 

I think it’s within us who carry the stuff. We have the freedom to choose anything that we like to wear. Be it on a conventional way or otherwise. We have the skills to be creative enough like why, what and when to wear any apparel that can make us feel and look wonderful. In other words, we have the control when to overpower and when to yield the trend of fashion. And the list goes on.

 

However, the clothes also have played a predominant role in our personality. They can be an element (or two) of the many factors to consider which can either enhance or worsen one’s individuality. So to conclude, the concept of this thread is something like nothing to choose from both sides. Since both elements are essential.

Money can buy you fashion but not style. However the term style is relative. Some can dress very simple but presentable while others can be totally in a coat and tie. Some may even dress the same, example: I just wore a shirt, shorts and rubber shoes to the mall and I happen to pass by some "jologs" who were wearing the same format but to them it looked ridiculous and gangsta.

It will always be more on the person than the actual clothes itself.

 

Look at Anabelle Rama. Kahit anong designer isuot nya, kahit sabitan mo ng maraming ginto sa katawan. Kahit nga palibutan nya sarili nya ng kung sino sinong sikat na sosyal, eh lalabas at lalabas pa din ang pagiging palengkera nya. Maraming mga taong nagiging fashion victim dahil pipilitin isuot yung damit na di naman kaya dalhin. Tsaka di mo maloloko lahat ng tao. Meron makakakita na talagang trying hard ka lang.

 

On the flipside, meron mga tao na kahit ukay ukay lang nabili damit, kahit simpleng tee lang at faded jeans lang suot, eh nakakagawang magiwan ng magandang first impression sa ibang tao. Napakasimple lang ng damit, pero pag sinuot naman nung tao nagmumukhang mamahalin. Tignan nyo si Tom Cruise. 50 na mahigit yung tao. Kung tutuusin di naman kumplikado mga sinusuot nya. Pero basta suot na, nagmumukhang laging gawa ng pinakamagaling an designer.

For those who do not want to spend a lot on clothes, instead of buying cheap t-shirts or polo shirts several times during the year, I suggest saving the money instead to buy one or two high quality items that fit well. Sa akin lang ito, but you're not really doing yourself a favor if you keep on buying P300-P400 t-shirts several times during the year. Quality over quantity is the principle in building a wardrobe din.

 

Made the same mistake kasi dati. Bought several items from Old Navy, H&M etc. Nung binilang ko at the end of the day I spent around 16k for my entire wardrobe na pala. Yung 16k I could have just bought two polos and two trousers from Ralph Lauren and those could have lasted me for decades na.

of course Clothes doesn't Make the Man

 

A robber is still a robber even if he wears a custom-made tuxedo.

 

The president will still be the president even if he wears simple t-shirt and shorts

 

I think the "Clothes make the man" idea came from the fashion point of view or something related to that.

Because it is obviously false if you really analyze it objectively
