When it comes to clothing, it's not just about covering one’s body. It's also about dignity. Not having something nice to wear can result in being ridiculed. For example, there was a drive at a school to raise clothes for the less fortunate. Sounds like a good idea, but in a Capitalist society, this can backfire. For example, it was “reported that at one school’s clothing drive, a kid said to another, ‘Oh, you’re wearing my old sneakers.’” For adults, this can be critical in a job interview. Part of this is to avoid being judged. But the other part is feeling good about what you are wearing.
