Most fashion shows are the
existence of an old mediocrity in a new guise, only occasionally are we
pleasured with accustomed excellence.
Richard Blair
Those
who make their dress a principal part of themselves, will, in general, become
of no more value than their dress.
William Hazlitt
Fashion is the abortive issue of vain ostentation and exclusive egotism … tied
to no rule, and bound to conform to every whim of the minute.
William Hazlitt
What is popular is not
necessarily vulgar; and that which we try to rescue from fatal obscurity had in
general much better remain where it is.
William Hazlitt
Wearing the finest attires
is good only as they source the want of other means of obtaining deference.
John Baden
There are female dandies as well as clothes-wearing men; and the former are as
objectionable as the latter.
Thomas Carlyle
Probably
every new and eagerly expected garment ever put on since clothes came in, fell
a trifle short of the wearer’s expectation.
Charles Dickens
The most loyal and faithful
woman indulges her imagination in a hypothetical liaison whenever she dons a
new street frock for the first time.
George J Nathan
Modesty
antedates clothes and will be resumed when clothes are no more. Mark Twain\The undressed is vulgar; the
nude is pure, and the well-dressed tainted.
Robert G. Ingersoll
