so I'm certainly not positioned to judge their clothing as anything other than, well... clothing.

Shoulda seen my Sr. prom tux-- powder blue, ruffled collar reinforced with feathered hair and a gallon of Polo cologne. Even today, I wince at the color-faded polaroid.

But, as so many critics have never worn anything that would be or could be mocked by the present or by the future, their distempers will be taken for all they are in fact, worth (e.g., "I was so annoyed by the way she dressed, I moved to the other side of the airplane." )
