Alright so this is going to be weak and short and pointed at a lot of people.
I am sick and tired of people caring so damn much about what other people wear.
I hear guys making fun of other guys wearing skirts. Why the fuck do YOU CARE!?! Leave skirt-boy alone. For all you know he’s a nice guy.
My boyfriend wears his pajamas outside and people laugh at him. WHY!?! He’s comfy. He’s happy. Why the hell do you care what he decides to wear?
I often don’t match my outfits. I don’t dress up very much. But for some reason almost every female I encounter says things like “You should wear a short skirt and be more girly”.
FUCK! I wear what I feel comfortable in.
Why do so many people feel its necessary to tell other what to wear?
This happens too much. I’m thinking of becoming an asshole soon just so I don’t have to put up with unwanted advice.
I agree. I’m by no means fashionable; my entire wardrobe consists of T-shirts and jeans. But I at least shower and put on a clean set of clothing with a minimum of holes (minimum determined by proximity to laundry day), whereas some people apparently can’t be arsed to even change out of the sweatpants they wore to bed.
The girly thing, on the other hand, is bullshit… unless you’re trying to attract a mate. Just think of all the pro-girly girls as nyphomaniacs, and it’d be logical.
And see if you can get their phone numbers after they insult your clothes. It’s for research, of course.
I don’t get the “wear a skirt and be more girly” attitude at all. I think boys in skirts are sexy. The pajamas…eh.
I don’t care what other people wear much; all I care about is if I look good. I will admit, however, there are times when I see people and wonder silently, “Geez, did you even look in the mirror before you left the house?” Jogging outfits on people who obviously don’t jog; rolls of fat bulging out between the tank top and the jeans; what look like evening clothes during the day… that sort of thing.
Like I said, I don’t much care–except for my FIRM belief that clunky, ugly, ridiculous Birkenstocks be banned from the face of the Earth!
Actually, I find skirts terribly restrictive and uncomfortable. I’m most comfy sitting with one foot tucked under the thigh of the other leg, which if fine in pants but a fairly large no-no in a skirt (unless, of course, you’re an exhibitionist).
I really don’t care too much what other people wear - if someone is dressed like a slob, I don’t even really notice them (eg: pajamas during the day).
However (and yes, I realize that I’m a world class bitch), I do notice when a person is trying to make a statement, and has missed the mark. I used to work with a woman that would wear woolly hats and scarfs in summer, and fake plastic flowers tied around her neck in winter. Empire waisted dresses that made her look pregnant (she wasnt), and strange, sack like dresses. I never said anything to her, because it’s really none of my business - if she likes it, fine. But I would be lying if I said I didn’t cringe every time she walked by.
I never get upset when people wear ghastly, inappropriate and unflattering clothing. I just figure they make me look better by comparison!
What is the deal with some middle-aged and eldery women wearing their grandchildren’s playsuits? You know, those matching overshirt-and-shorts combinations in bright floral colors? They’d look cute on a three-year-old, but . . .
Depends on the skirt. I don’t think I’ve worn a skirt above mid-calf my entire life. Most skirts I wear are just above the ankle. I just don’t think short skirts are attractive. I also wear skirts that are full. Ideally, if I sit on the floor, the skirt should be able to fan out in a full circle around me.
I’ve worn jammies to the store before (middle of the night, need cold medicine, who cares?) and if I’m not going anywhere, I don’t care what I look like. If I’m just going to the store or to the mailbox, I’ll wear whatever. If I look ridiculous, so what? It’s not like I’m trying to find a date
Eve - I have a feeling that’ll be the HRT kicking in while they watch the TeleTubbies with the grand kids. It’s kind of like picking which one from ‘Sex and the City’ you like to dress as, 'cept it’s between Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa and Po. It’s a growing phenomenon.
Actually, the older ladies like those because they’ve got elastic waistbands and only come in two sizes: One Size Fits All, and Plus. One of my friends got several of them to wear as maternity clothes one summer, and she said they were just terribly comfy.
…is how informally we dress these days. I was looking at some old family photos from decades ago-and it is amazing-at family get-togethers (on Sundays) the men all had jackest and ties, the women were dressed in skirts. The children were all nicely dressed-no backwards baseball caps, ripped jeans, or sweatshirts!
Going further back (to the early 1950’s) the people were unbelievably well dressed-even for work!
What’s become of us-is a sort of "universal"slob mentality taking over? My 15 year old daughter wants to wear ripped jeans to school-the horror!
I usually don’t even notice what other people are wearing, but I thought I’d address this
When I see guys wearing skirts, as opposed to say - something like a formal kilt, nine times out of ten they are trying to make some sort of “statement”. A friend of mine went through that phase in college. If the guy is going to purposely seek attention to himself by wearing a skirt or a dress, I’m going to give it to him. My heckling may not be the attention he had in mind, but it was just too damn funny not to laugh at.
I will admit, however, there are times when I see people and wonder silently, “Geez, did you even look in the mirror before you left the house?” Jogging outfits on people who obviously don’t jog; rolls of fat bulging out between the tank top and the jeans; what look like evening clothes during the day… that sort of thing.
