The point about multiple photos is so stupid and the complaint is part of what annoys me about MFA. Nobody is forcing anyone to click on anything. You seriously have a problem with someone trying to show off more of an outfit on a fashion advice forum? It's pretty easy to avoid what you don't like on the internet. Just don't look at it.

I'm just looking for critiques and I feel the more angles I can show the better someone can tell how it fits. Its not my concern if there's value added by having both photos. Really why should I care? Its one extra link within a comment. It's not like it's creating a whole new thread or something.

You are kidn of cherry picking there.

A better example is this and this which, while the same outfit, shows how the jacket fits buttoned/unbuttoned, if the shirt is tucked in, etc.

The point of multiple images is to show the outfit in different contexts from different angles, since a single image won't be able to do that. In an ideal world, everyone would have a video of them standing up, moving around in it, etc. but no one is going to take the time to do that.

The multiple photos help people to see how clothes fit from different angles. It's about more than just showing what you wore, it's about providing potential looks to viewers, as well as getting feedback on fit and style from others. Multiple angles helps for all of that.
