Capitalism relies on the market of superfluous items.

Even ignoring that, what >>6088531 said as well is right. And not only for functions of society, but our higher level of thinking as well; as in, we are so self-aware and of high thought that the 'trivial' stuff are essential even merely as distractions from the opposite: living a primitive life that focuses solely on surviving and reproducing, which, obviously, would be chaos for our modern brains.

clothing contributes to the emotional health of the wearer, when the designer's aim is empowerment and not the exploitation of insecurity
ergo, thoughtful clothing is a valuable commodity. at least as valuable as windows. possibly as valuable as chairs. certainly more valuable than a television. probably roughly as valuable as a good book.

Human kind did not form society until agriculture was invented. The invention of agriculture was the sole driving force behind the original formation of human society. Thus agriculture is the sole factor separating society from other forms of human organization. Period.

You're thinking of Language.
There are plenty of non agricultural indigenous societies, even today. Some groups never started farming and never saw a need to. While agriculture may be considered a form of technology and therefore of crucial importance to culture, it post dates language - one of the earliest technologies - by god knows how long.

if you can't figure that one out for yourself you might be on the wrong board.
It keeps us warm, it keeps the sun off of us when needed. It holds out the rain, it makes us feel more beautiful, it makes us feel safe to look attractive and be protected from the elements. It is our armor in social interactions, it can serve as an expression of the self. It can help us keep tools and valuables on our person, thus making life and work a bit easier.
It can camouflage us or make us stand out, it can alter the way the world sees us, as we see fit.
Come on, the reasons are endless.

You only feel good when you look good because you're aware that others place value in physical appearance and thus are aware that others judge you based on it.
