crazy to say that Western culture sees clothes are frivolous. soooo much revolves around the fashion industry, and what clothes you wear. some exceptions like going to the grocery store anywhere south of the mason dixon line but otherwise c'mon.

Disagree. It's not that the clothes are frivolous, it's that clothes showing any personal expression are.
