I've made the same observation before. Many men egotistically believe that all women dress to attract them. Obviously some women do, but, like you, I believe many women are in a competition with other women between themselves.
“Obviously some women do, but, like you, I believe many women are in a competition with other women between themselves.”
These generally would be the ladies caught up in designer labels as opposed to simply picking styles that flatter them.
Now sometimes there is the genuine appreciation for a designer’s talent, and quality of clothing.
But you will see an obsession to buy stuff just because of the name and not necessarily how it looks.
When that happens it is usually competition w/ other women, because men just don’t give a rip about whose name is on the label.
