Both. I like look good in clothes that fit, but I wear what I like, and always have. As a kid, my mother would pick out clothes in the morning, and I’d come down in totally different clothing. I like fashion. I am not gay. And I also like to appear well dressed. And also, 95% of my tshirts are geeky graphic tees, like my Andorian Mining Consortium (Runs from Nobody) shirt.
But it’s not like I’m walking around in suits, ever. I just like jeans and shirts that fit, and I hate mundane white bread and mayo fashion, or lack there of.
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.
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.
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 am kinda required to wear safety clothes
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.
Noone would ever confuse me for someone who dresses for others. Lol
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’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…”
Myself. I stopped following our work dress code after Covid and nobody has complained. Flannel and jeans and a hat == office casual now.
Looking at myself gives me the thoughts of despair so I dress to make people not look at me
I’d be naked if I could tbh
Hell yeah
At home for myself, at work for others.
I dress so society does not put me into jail for indecency. We are not the same.
