Traditional lifestyles were centered around acquiring and maintaining food, shelter, water, sanitation, etc. In other words daily activity in almost all ways centered around survival. Whereas there would have been rudimentary leaisure activities, they would have occupied a very limited portion of ones time. Including that of children. Everyone's effort would have been needed to meet the living requirements of the group. This can still be seen today in a number of tribal societies as well as some third world countries.
Contrast that with the extreme leisure time people in more developed countries enjoy. Although it wouldn't be hard to argue with the idea that people in modern societies use their leisure for endeavors that have little value, no one can realistically argue that they don't at least have it.
To begin with, you clothes reflect your social status. It goes without saying that if you are a business lady you should be dressed appropriately. To put it in another way, if a person is a head of a company, it is preferable to him to wear well branded clothes.
Psychologically, people spend so much time on fashion and buying clothes to forget about different life problems. That is tosay, shopping for clothes can be a good therapy in case of life troubles. However, it is not worth a sacrifice if you are a shopoholic and buy everything you see; the feeling of style and good taste are surely important.
