You're quite right. I fail on that point in principle. In my own defense, I have never ever sniffed at anybody for their choice, and have never told anybody what they should or shouldn't wear. It's like... I look at raw form and see beauty in it, whether it be a tree, an animal, a landscape, or the many human figures. I like to be able to see that, but I'm well aware that is my own perception and that everybody else will have a different definition of beauty and also have the right to not be driven by beauty, too.
I suppose the impotus behind my statement was the comment about fashion, and how people wear things purely because they're told to even aside from the misguided belief of it being the definition of what is 'attractive'. I've a lot of time for people who actually like fashionable clothes and wear them regardless of how they look in them because then they are of their own mind, than I am for people to choose them just because. (ETA and even that sounds wrong. I give up. This is why I normally keep all of this in my head!).
What can I say, I word things badly. It's a thing of mine.
