2 cents Whether it's food or clothes, a person can be too focused on either whether it's too much desire/pride in them, or too much fear of them. The Tanya suggests depression (about not being good enough in ANY aspect) can drag a person down into another klipah.
The beauty of Chassidus is that it recommends a RELATIONSHIP with a Rav. A Rav can percieve our individual needs and help us grow internally. These are the "clothes" that our neshamah acquires in this world. As we acquire them, others recognize not only our external appearance, but the internal substance that got us there.

Reply to Shmuel Yosef Kamman Well put! But isn't lying to yourself worse than lying to others?
On the other hand: The glutton is not lying to himself, he is merely becoming comfortable in his own lowliness, whereas the the one who indulges in clothing at least is ashamed of who he is and therefore presents himself differently to the world around him.

Clothing vs Food Nice clothing is for others, while food is for you. So clothing just for the purpose of looking good is to lie to others while you still know who you really are. Eating, when done in a klipah dikka way, like gluttony even of kosher food is lying to yourself.
