I also observe the same thing within my country. A lot of people are obsessed with clothing and how they would look in front of other people with the expense of sacrificing for it. I heard a story of more than one family who prioritize make up and clothing over food - they prefer to look good rather than feel good.
There was a time during my younger years where I feel like following the trend. But as of now, I don't even wear a watch and I prefer plain looking but quality clothes. I don't want to spend a ton of money to be a walking billboard for these big clothing companies. 😁
