Not exactly. I like to wear nice clothes for me, because I like to look good. It's the same reason I wear fragrances. A lot of people who get into fragrances, especially guys, do it so that girls and other people will comment on them and so on. They're not really into them, they do it for the attention. Chances are they probably only wear them on dates and to clubs with the guys, routinely wearing too much and forcing everyone around to wallow in their large gaseous cloud. I, and people who are truly into fragrances, do it for themselves. I could easily wear something time tested and crowd friendly, like Acqua di Gio, something from Hugo Boss, or Curve. I don't. I'm sure many people my age probably think I smell old, but I'm okay with that. If people who wore nice clothing did it for other people, they'd be wasting a lot of time and effort. There's also the people who have a bizarre sense of fashion and probably get laughed at by the average person. They certainly aren't doing it to just look good. I'm sure there are some people that do that, absolutely, but I think people who truly care about their appearance, clothing, etc. still do even when nobody is looking.
