    Hell, I BARELY dress for myself, let alone others.

    The two deciding factors are “Does this protect me from public indecency laws” and “Am I warm/cool enough in this”. Anything goes so long as it meets this criteria.

    Comfort is a deciding factor on how I dress. Within that, I try to pull off looks that don’t look like ass, which I seem to pull off.

    I dress for myself unless I want to try to exploit something, then I’ll dress to fit in because a lot of normies are stupid and actually think different types of clothing means something.

    I’ve learned, through the years, what’s comfortable for me and still produces an image that others find pleasing. That image is still very comfortable looking, mind you. I’ve been told that when I’m out I look like “Merlin on vacation…”

    I don’t know the difference. I pretty much live in business casual, but on the weekends I will wear a graphic tee instead of a white undershirt. Maybe I leave my button down shirt open. It’s what I would choose to wear in any instance I leave the house. I’m comfortable in my clothes.

    when I dress for myself it’s usually in funky, slightly silly clothing

    when I dress for others it’s as low-effort business casual for a zoom meeting square as possible

    I dress for the weather.

    I have multiple times been passively insulted by fashionistas who said ‘you treat clothing like it’s functional only’.

    no shit I do. And I’m proud of it. fuck fashion and it’s classist bullshit.

    Myself. I stopped following our work dress code after Covid and nobody has complained. Flannel and jeans and a hat == office casual now.

    Work doesn’t count, that shit is mandated and the new boss likes to fire for it.

    Everywhere else? For myself as much as society allows it. If I’m going somewhere where my friends/party could face consequences for my outfit, then I dress to fit in. If I’m going to the grocery store or any other errand? I’m wearing whatever the hell is the most comfortable. I’m not drawing lustful gazes when covered in motorcycle gear anyway.
