Concerning attitude, I think there’s a proper humility that goes with the symbolism: May I live up to the best that the uniform, the professional attire, or the jersey conveys!
Example: There are circumstances where a hat is still worn. (As an old dude without much hair, I need something.)
Someone has said, For a hat to work, you have to have more character than the hat!
Humility is key to much of what we’re writing about.
When people dismiss aesthetics as always and everywhere mere vanity, we excuse ourselves from the work of considering how that attitude impacts both ourselves and those around us. It is indifference pretending to be humility.
Good on you for recognizing and living up to the standards you point out!
Outside of substack, one suggestion I can make is looking up Lillian Fallon’s work with Ascension Press online. She also wrote a book called Theology of style explicitly directed at women.
Excellent.

Amazing piece! I actually never thought about clothes this way. 🙂
Glad we could help you see them in a new light!
I thoroughly enjoy your posts. Does anyone know of a similar Substack for women’s clothing?
I’d love an answer to this as well!

Thank you. I will check that out.
