What would happen if we prioritised comfort before style?
Currently, and for a long time previously (especially for women) we have sacrificed comfort for style.
For one classicly obvious example, high heels.
Perhaps for special occasions, practicality comes into play for certain types of clothing, and sacrificing comfort may even be considered honourable.
I for one believe this has to change.
Comfort should be placed as the first priority, with personal taste determining the second and third priorities for practicality and style.
If one were to prioritise style secondly, I would imagine clothes would be worn inside out, with intricate stitching for, say, a t-shirt's seams being visible.
For when practicality comes second, I would imagine pockets and other forms of personal device combinations with technology would apply to the clothing.
It is also important to note that comfort does not interfere with health.

According to “the definition of the VALID happiness is the short-time feeling of things being a-step-better for keeping one’s own DNA alive”, one will choose:
(1) Style: --- For competition, sexual partner, ...
(2) Comfort: --- For health, ...
Wrong?

I'm female and these are my comments.
I remember hearing in a Psychology lecture that there is a valid reason for women wearing high heels. To maintain balance, the woman needs to alter the angle of her pelvis. For some reason (which I have forgotten) this makes her appear more fertile – e.g. sexually attractive.
Men are "hard wired" to be sexually attracted to fertile women.
Griffin Tucker - I’m not sure a change of attitude will be sufficient.
Morgan Barnes - I personally find high heeled boots comfortable (10cm, 4inches). I think it is because the top of the foot is enclosed and supported. Luckily I live in the coldest capital city in Australia; Canberra. Because yes, like 99.99% of women, I do want to look sexually attractive - even though I am past child bearing age.
Feyisayo Anjorin – Yes, the media has a lot to answer for. Frustratingly, instead of women rebelling against the ideal and creating a more “comfortable” future, men are now being pressured and objectified by the media. Young males of high school age are feeling pressure about their bodies and are attending gyms to buff up.
Men – a question for you.
Do you find wearing a tie comfortable?
