SJS – When a designer designs they make the clothes to accentuate parts of the body.
True that its a snowball effect that once you are get all into the clothes you become obsessed with designers, you have to keep up you appearance all the time…
I never claimed that woman look like old hags when amongst friends/other woman. But, if they are getting more/better feed back from men when they are dressed not as tznius not tznius at all, there is really no incentive to dress tzniusdikly. I think the struggle is that here you are toying with the abstract (mitzvos/aveiros) and instant gratification (positive feedback) of the men.
