What do you think the role of style in society is?

Recently I started thinking of clothing, and how people express themselves with it. I often see people with styles of extreme, and I often see people who don’t care much what they wear.

Do you think style is important in life? If so then shouldn’t people be over the top with their styles, treat what they wear as ‘art’ and fully express themselves with it?

I think it would be really cool if people would draw on themselves, be free of the ‘normal’ and dogmas of clothing and just put on whatever they want/whatever they ARE.
