The author concludes that it’s worth considering fashion trends when buying clothes. As examples, she notes that paying more for a high-quality suit is worth it because it will stay in style longer, but you shouldn’t spend much on a trendy hat that will quickly go out of style.

The author concludes that it’s worth considering trends when buying clothes, but the examples in her premises don’t actually explain why it’s worth it. Why shouldn’t you spend a lot on a hat that will go out of style soon?

She’s assuming that you should spend more on clothes that will be in style for longer, and less on clothes that you will soon go out of style. We need to find the principle that satisfies this assumption and underlies her reasoning.

The author says that it’s worth investing in well-constructed clothes if they’re going to be in style for a while. She uses a classic suit as an example, but she never says that formal attire is generally more well-constructed or that it will last longer.

This underlies the author’s reasoning. She assumes that you should spend more money on clothes that will be in style for longer, and less on clothes that will go out of style soon. Note: She also assumes that you’ll only plan to keep wearing clothes that are still in style.

She actually says that if something is trendy, you should buy it as cheaply as possible. You should invest in a well-constructed garment if it’s going to be in style longer. We still need to satisfy the assumption that you should spend more on clothes that will be in style longer.

It pays to consider trends whether you’re buying men’s or women’s clothes, but the author never argues that you should spend the same amount on men’s and women’s clothes. We still need to satisfy the assumption that you should spend more on clothes that will be in style longer.

The author doesn’t say anything about office attire or casual attire. Instead, she assumes that you should spend more money on clothes that will be in style for longer.
