Clothes Quotes
What we wear, buy, and sometimes can't stop buying.
This clothes quotes page leans into the pure pleasure and occasional excess of dressing well, from a tax perk on buying clothes to a closet quite literally overflowing. One quote also compares cultural attitudes toward modesty in clothing between Chinese and American women. See Fashion for the broader style angle.
