托斯丹·凡勃伦《有闲阶级论》· The Theory of the Leisure Class · 投资
The dress of women goes even farther than that of men in the way of demonstrating the wearer's abstinence from productive employment. It needs no argument to enforce the generalization that the more elegant styles of feminine bonnets go even farther towards making work impossible than does the man's high hat. The woman's shoe adds the so-called French heel to the evidence of enforced leisure afforded by its polish; because this high heel obviously makes any, even the simplest and most necessary manual work extremely difficult. The like is true even in a higher degree of the skirt and the rest of the drapery which characterizes woman's dress. The substantial reason for our tenacious attachment to the skirt is just this; it is expensive and it hampers the wearer at every turn and incapacitates her for all useful exertion. The like is true of the feminine custom of wearing the hair excessively long.

白话
女人的穿着比男人更能证明她远离生产劳动。越优雅的女帽越让干活变得不可能，比男人的高礼帽还厉害。女鞋擦得锃亮还不够，再加上法国高跟，明摆着让人没法做哪怕最简单的体力活。裙子和层层叠叠的装饰更是如此：我们死抱着裙子不放，实质原因就是它贵，而且每一步都碍事，让穿的人干不了有用的事。女人留超长头发也是同一个道理。
