Obviously, because she is trying to attract a higher-status man.

No, seriously: Why do people still try to be fashionable after they're married? If I were married, I'd buy a Toyota Camry and shop at the Salvation Army.

(Okay, I already have a Camry and shop at the Salvation Army. But only at the most fashionable ones.)

See my comment below, on why the most fashionable clothing should be painful and impractical.

Being married doesn't mean you don't want other people to find you attractive. Fashion plays in to this to some degree.

As a married man, if I have to pick between not worrying about fashion and women other than my wife not noticing me (whether this is imagined or not) or worrying about fashion and women other than my wife noticing me, I'm going to worry about fashion.
