It's just clothes wtf

[Giggles]

Presentable Abby:

Knee length black skirt w/ white collar shirt, and hair pulled back in a nice braid or pony tail


Unpresentable Abby / Abby on her period:

Sweats w/ boxers and either a t-shirt or sweatshirt, and holey socks. Possible that I haven't showered in a week. Hair never brushed, and pulled into a knot.


Normal Abby:

Jeans w/ a t-shirt or long sleeve shirt

OR

Some vintage clothes, that are fun to wear

If what we normally wear was the topic of the thread, I normally wear jeans and t shirt/tank top with boots/flip flops. Yep. Bum.

Sorry you don't like reversed predjudices, Moo Moo. It's what people do.

Whether I shave or not is the only factor that really depends on my 'presentable' image. And if my many flannel shirts have stains or not. Most of the time, I look I'm in a grunge band. I'm about twice as grungey if I don't shave. And my hair is short these days, so it helps.

Recently my style has gotten a little more clean-cut. i've taken to collared button-ups and the like, and you could even call it borderline dressy if i didn't have such a taste for things like Hawwiian shirts. No particular reason; i've just wanted to look a bit nicer on a daily basis. And i've gotten positive comments from my friends about my style in the past, but they come on a far more consistent basis now. And generally, people are just more amicable towards me now. The difference between folks' reception of me before and after i adjusted my dress is decidedly apparent, especially dealing with strangers - the strongest indication of a person's external impressions.

i doubt people always think actively about how a person looks, but looking nicer is, after all, looking nicer. Folks often judge people consciously on their style, but just as often it's simply an automatic thing. People just seem to take better impressions from a nicely dressed person. It could be for any number of reasons: shows you expended the energy to look nice, which in turn reflects well on your public face and others' general perception of you; it's generally more clean-cut, which just comes off well; etc etc etc.

i don't worry too much about style. But it does bother me that people attach such stereotypes to it. i may present a more formal wardrobe than i did before, but it doesn't reflect any real change in my personality; i'm still the same guy. But people do treat me differently. And if i were to shift one day to a stereotypically "goth" look, people would treat me differently then, too. Visual perception, even with the knowledge of a person's character, is a powerful influence. We're visual creatures, we humans, and it goes a long way. It may not necessarily be a good thing, but there's no denying its truth.

I guess I do wear some baggy jeans. I have decided to edit this post because it was just a lie. Sorry if anyone was offended.

Fire_of_Avalon put it perfectly in her first post.

As for what I wear usually, I wear jeans all the time, and almost always a t-shirt. The pants are just like $35 ones from bluenotes or whatever. The shirts have to fit just so. They've gotta be not baggy, but not too short either.

I guess it makes people think I'm a lot more respectable than wiggers and thugs, somewhat more respectable than old school punks and punks in general, but less respectable than those who tuck in thier shirts.

Or 'her.'

That's what I said >_> <_<

Judging people is natural. I judge everyone. Not just on how they dress, but based on how they act, who they associate with, their beliefs, anything that can differentiate one person from another. It's what people do best. For example, if you dress like a slob, it's not unreasonable for me to assume you're a slob. It's not unreasonable for me to go further and assume your household is also a mess, and that personal hygeine is pretty low on your priority list, etc. I would hold this judgement of you untill you proved me wrong. It's not realistic to try and get to know everyone you see, so making judgements on people is a necessity.

I wear polo shirts and/or sweaters, a pair of jeans, brown leather shoes, a brown leather jacket, and a South Park baseball cap. Judge me as ye will.

People that dress in the dark, baggy clothing are usually considered the goths. They wear the satanic stuff. Punks are the people that dress in the camouflaged clothing and listen to loud music. The list keeps going.

My clothes look nice, I guess. I don't wear too baggy pants and I don't wear dark, satanic clothing.

I wear an ecclectic mix. Some of my trousers are fairly baggy but some are rather tight and bootcut. Whatever really. I generally wear tight tops but I have a couple of band t-shirts and the like floating around. I have an annoying habit of buying clothes several sizes too big, wearing them obsessivly for a few months then realizing that infact they are too big and totally swamp me, making me look stupid.
Im a bit odd like that.
