8	* '''Inverted''': A detailed description of how plain and shabby an outfit is.
9	* '''Subverted''': A character wears something glorious and the author brushes over it.
10	* '''Double Subverted''': ...Until the conversation turns to clothes, and then we get the usual treatment.
11	* '''Parodied''':
12	** Everyone's wearing three suits of finery, their hair is taller than they are, and then they begin to complain about how dumpy they look.
13	** The outfits are so glitzy and extravagant, everyone literally orgasms by just looking at them.

22	* '''Conversed''': "Jeez, what is this, a Jane Austin novel?"
23	* '''Deconstructed''': [[Literature/AmericanPsycho The descriptions are used to show the character narrating is vain and cares only for appearances.]]
