“Is There Such a Thing as Too Much Beauty?” was the NYTimes headline about men’s wear fashion shows in Paris. I’d ask a different question. “Is there too much not-so- beautiful stuff parading around that shouldn’t be?” Yes, there is too much.
Ration your passion for fashion. Blame the Spelling Bee for inspiring that dreadful rhyme. But it’s still a good idea to keep fashion trends at arm’s length lest you find yourself wearing too much or not enough and having no idea where to wear any of it.
