I think the aspect of pride that can be rightly considered a sin comes into this too. You aren’t going to be able to rationally think about your situation and surroundings if you are focused on your own vanity. Fashionableness is vanity I think, and fashions come in many, many flavors. It’s a hydra, like fear, probably because in both cases you are focusing on yourself.
