Guess what, people do not like being insulted. If you are going to say to a large number of people that their clothes and by extension them "look bad" you are going to get a lot of pissed off responses. It is completely healthy and miles better than the alternative of internalizing it, believing you look bad feeling embarrassment, humiliation, guilt, etc.
By the way this is the way the fashion industry has operated for a long time and people are rightfully sick of it.
The author would have done much better to avoid making general statements. He could have said something like "i really do not like the way pockets look on my pants. I like to wear tight pants and large pockets really ruin that look."
Where did the author insult cargo pants users? This is all I saw mentioning cargo pants in the article.
> Appendix: Sam, have you simply invented cargo pants?
> No. Cargo pants solve different problems
for different people.
> If cargo pants are appropriate for your
daily life, you definitely don’t want or need
my side-seam welt pockets; and vice-versa.
Cargo pants aren’t office-wear; these dress
pants aren’t combat-wear.
EDIT: it seems like the author edited the article. Never mind.
