Is clothing capitalist ideology?

Hear me out, this though comes from someone you generally like, Philosophy lecturer Wes Cecil.

In his recent series he mentioned how the ancients generally wore less clothing or went entirely naked on warm days, exercising openly in the square. Those cultures valued perfection of the body and it was seen as a personal failure to not be fit. Our culture has different values, we also look at bodies but a big focus is on nice looking and often expensive clothes. We have huge clothing style trends that make thousands of teens throw away perfectly good clothing, we make people wear expensive and uncomfortable suits whenever something official is happening and so on. Similarly to marriages needing rings, this clothing meme sits deep inside our heads and is probably hard to get rid of, even if you are to intellectually know that your beliefs merely exist to make someone rich, it would still feel wrong.

Do you think that a communist society would have a lesser focus on clothing?

Yes but I'm going to wear it anyway because I feel weird without it especially my crotch area

Also I'm ugly everyone tells me I'm attractive but my build and back structure cause me to have a pot-belly even at average weight and my face is pimply plus my beard won't grow in all the way just yet. Maybe I could start an exercise regiment to distribute my fat differently but I don't know

Yes. The DDR had a thriving nudist subculture, for instance.

I would go full never-nude if I could.

There would be less incentive to push new fashion trends every year, that's for sure

But some people like clothing as a form of expression, nothing wrong with that. Just remove Porky and his money from the equation.

Clothing is retarded anyway.

Why do you need band shirts, tv show shirts or any shirts with some retarded message written on them.
Branded products is you paying a ton of extra money to be a walking advertisement.
People buy the most retarded nonfuctional shit like jeans that have holes torn in them because of retarded trends.

I'd walk around in my underwear if I could but I would not want to be more susceptible to injuries by bumping into things or getting scrapes

Clothing for winter time?

You can roughly separate clothing into 2 functions:

Utility function: Protection, warmth etc

Aesthetic function: Status, trends etc

I'm purely criticizing the aesthetic function. I believe that Socialism would reduce it while keeping the utility function the same.

I'd walk around naked if I was more confident. At least you can actually say "hey, it's really cold ok? Normally this thing is much bigger" with no clothes on
