Why do you care about the clothes you wear?

I really hope the picture of Neil Patrick Harris answers the question of the post. I understand why people may not care about fashion or the clothes they wear. From my presumption, they can be very content with their own pick of clothes, with themselves, or the way they look, or maybe they don't understand fashion at all. Fashion can be a complex concept to understand. If I were to talk to someone who doesn't understand fashion about why I love fashion, I would try to answer that question "Why do you care about the clothes you wear?" My answer to the question always seem different each time I ask it to myself. I come up with answers like "I like to look nice and clean," "It keeps me happy," "If I don't take care of my clothes then it won't last as long as I want," or "each piece have a small history that's important to me." The clothes you wear add small details about yourself. An easy example, the stains on a dress shirt you wear to work make a statement to people around you like your boss. It's most likely going annoy your boss because it not only shows how poorly you present yourself but also how your life out of work is like. Your boss is going to wonder a little why those stains weren't taken care of. He/She may think that you're a messy person or you haven't been taking good care of yourself. It really depends on how bad those stains are but you get what I mean by the small details. A harder example, a pocket square on someone's nice, clean suit. The pocket square really stands out, shows how bold you are, and fills in the blank of that chest pocket. That boss of yours is going to be a little more impressed depending on how well you pull it off. Something as little as a pocket square can make a good impression. I'm not telling people to go out and buy themselves some expensive clothes and accessories to do that. You really don't need expensive clothes and accessories to do all that. You can make something like a pair of jeans you can afford look just as nice as an expensive pair that you wouldn't pay for as long as you take good care of it and find the right style and fit for you. If you get up in the morning and dress yourself comfortable and happy with what you have that's great because that's who you are. If you're not happy with what you're wearing or you don't think the clothes you're wearing portrays you, do something to change that; take better care of your clothes, change your wardrobe, or be more conscious about the clothes you're about to buy for next time. You're really doing yourself a favor from doing all this.
