The Myth of “Too Much”
Too much” is one of the laziest critiques in fashion. It’s rarely about the outfit itself and almost always about the viewer’s comfort level. Too much color, too much confidence, too much personality all coded ways of saying this makes me uneasy because I wouldn’t wear it. Society loves to praise individuality until individuality stops being subtle. The moment an outfit takes up space, breaks an unspoken rule, or refuses to blend in, it gets labeled excessive. Not because it is but because it disrupts what people are used to seeing.
