    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.

    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.

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

    Myself. Because if I actually was dressing for others I would be taking a lot more objection to looking like a fashionably challenged (albeit very comfortable) hobo at all times, but I dont care about it

    i would dress for myself but my cat will get hair over my outfit so the only time I can really dress is when I’m out of the house

      You don’t know the difference between dressing for yourself vs dressing for others? Try showing up to court in an inflatable costume! Or just go a single average day out in public without pants or a shirt (even with underclothes on)…

      I dress for myself. And my own comfort does depend on things like social interactions and conversation dynamics and office relationships and others’ perception of me and my reputation. So dressing for myself includes dressing within social conventions.
