It's just clothes wtf

There are two distinctly different types of clothing I typically wear: the rediculously baggy, stereotypical teenage drags-on-the-ground-gets-dirty-and-makes-me-look-unpresentable clothes, and the ones I'm wearing now: a dress shirt, slacks, belt and tie. Why is there a perceived difference in who I am just because of clothing? I get compliments when I dress up, and when I dress down nobody cares. Is clothing that important that it dignifies a person? I'm thinking about that Bugs Bunny cartoon where a truckload of hats fell everywhere and Bugs/Fudd started acting differently just because of clothing (hat) changes.

I don't understand. Explain how PG can be presentable just because of clothing chagne.

because people are stupid and judgmental. you know, it takes less thought to judge someone based on their clothing or looks than it does to actually get to know them.

I always wear the sam old clothes...baggy jeans, with some t-shirt, thats more than likely black and that has a rock band on it. Occasionally I wear my T-Bay Lightning jersey.

I'm always percieved as a pot head hippy, but I just like rock and roll, and not spending oodles of money on uncomfortable clothing.

I just wear t-shirts and jeans. I don't care what kind. I just want them to be comfortable.

Clothing is considered part of your overall appearance. Being primarily a visual species (that is to say visual until we became thinkers who considered character as part of base appeal) we judge one another on overall appearance. If your overall appearance is slovenly, people will judge you as lazy and apathetic. If your appearance is foreign to them, people will see you as, well, foreign to their mindset. If your appearance is recognizable and neat, people will see you approachable and reliable.

Don't you wish we all were blind?

I'm lazy and slovenly, and thus look better when I dress better. I'm tired of reverse prejudices :aimmad:

People look at my face and judge me that way long before they realise I have any clothing on.

But me I usually just wear khaki pants and a casual shirt all the time.

Hmm. I have an odd style. White dress up shirts with Hot Topic shirts over them or long sleeved shirts . . . and bellbottoms. That's it. I don't own a nice range of clothing. I own T-shirts and jeans upon jeans with more jeans on the side. ^_^- Perhaps when I decide to grow up I'll dress up but for now I'm going to enjoy it while I can still get away for it.
PG - you should dress up like a grandpa because you are OLD.

I'm usually judged by the way I act instead of the way I dress, which I hate even more.

Just about the same as you guys, T-Shirt and jeans. Of course, I also where a necklace too. PG can be changed just because of clothing because...well....I don't know.

PLAID PANTS AND SHIRTS AND GOLF HATS AND GEAR ALL THE WAY FOR ME! YAY SHEFFIE

O.o

I'm too girly for this thread?

I dress in sweatshirts when I'm all by myself. Or my pajamas.
If I'm with my goth friends; I dress in black/red-ish things.
When I'm with the other law students I follow whatever stupid fashion is in, which at the moment is punk-ish with bright colours.
Or I wear high heels and lots of jewelry and stuff.

At least I try to look different from day to day......

I usually wear black pants, I don't know why I just likle the color black. And I like wearing long sleeved shirts that are not blue, I don't like wearing blue. Dumb style, yes.

I where some kind of shirt with some kind of stupid logo or message on it and of caurse jeans. I dress the way I do because I don't wanna get noticed and hey it works. I only get noticed if they wanna notice me, is the way I see it.

I wear no name-brand cloths, nothing with logos either. Usually I'll wear maroon, grey, red, or black (rarily black).
