K09 - Uniforms: Why We Are What We Wear | Paul Fussell

Paul Fussell’s culture-criticism masquerading as a fashion book. He argues that every uniform – from military dress to blue jeans – encodes class, sex and conformity. Fussell’s tone is arch and curmudgeonly, taking each outfit apart to show how it quietly signals obedience or aspiration. It’s vintage Fussell: witty and scathing about the human need to belong, as if clothing were just a fancy form of submission.
