[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In DC, we prioritize elegance over stylish. Simple, basic, clean, effecient. Depending on your job, overly stylized can be seen as frivolous. People who are mission focused are attracted to this city. It’s about the power, less about what you look like and how much you make. Also, so many of the jobs in town center around politics...I’m not going to go visit government staff in an Armani suit.  I’d look like an out of touch ass. [/quote]

Come on, now. We recently heard from a DC transplant that was concerned about wearing lipstick to work, because the women in her office are so incredibly basic. This isn't about wearing Armani suits. This is about women feeling pressured to cease taking pride in their appearance. [/quote]

This is true.  DC has it's own fashion, which is fashion oppression.  This is very different from a provincial city where everyone is behind the times, or everyone is oblivious to what anyone else is wearing.  To fit in in DC requires adoption and enforcement of the frump code.  That said, I think OP didn't describe DC frump at all well, that version of basic--[i]balayage hair in loose waves[/i]--does just sounds like suburbia.[/quote]

What people in D.C. consider "provincial" - are much more stylish and much more educated cities, on the whole, than D.C. [/quote]
