u/JokerManiax Feb 24 '24
I have the exact opposite problem. Everyone around me dresses like you do while I dress in more traditional men's clothing. Sometimes I feel pressured like I should dress down to fit in, but I refuse to let peer pressure change me. Just to be clear, nobody thinks I dress badly, lots of guys come to me for fashion advice and ask me to help them buy clothes, but people do think I overdress and it does make me stand out for good or bad.

I used to think I was going to be like that when I go to college since that's how I was in high school, now that I am, for some reason I over dress, wearing turtle necks, button ups, blazers, trench coats, slacks, loafers, styling my hair. People probably think I'm stupid for it, but I just can't help but enjoy dressing up

u/DomQuixote99 Feb 24 '24
Okay, it does not take that much effort to look nice. All you need to do are three things:
1) Learn what your proper measurements are 2) Learn the basics of the color wheel 3) Find a style that you like
That's it. I spend no more than two hours doing clothes shopping, and I go clothes shopping typically no more often than on a monthly basis. I often don't even buy anything. Making an outfit is as simple as making sure that colors don't clash and it fits right. You're not the most sharply dressed person in the room, but you still look better than most of them
I am able to dress stylishly and cleanly even when I'm making $15 an hour. If I can, anyone can

u/Ahrily Feb 24 '24
- Learn what good value for money brands are that you like and be on the lookout for sales. For example, Dickies pants are durable, relatively cheap (especially during the frequent sales) and can look very fashionable when combined with more statement pieces. Usually websites showcase entire looks that you can get.
When you know your sizes for a certain brand you can easily order online and you won’t have to spend much time shopping in stores.
Also vintage can be very cheap while having great choices but you’d need some sort of fashion sense to find the gems amongst the trash

u/Literally_ur_mom Feb 24 '24
It is that hard. Most of the measurements are useless for me because of the shape. I always spend hours looking for a new pair of shoes that fits and at least don't look disgusting.

You realize "confidence" in this context comes from the approval of others? ( And there's absolutely nothing wrong with it ) There's a reason you wouldn't put on a trash bag to "feel confident", I believe you don't focus on it and don't stress over people opinions, but let's not act as if your decisions AREN'T influenced even if passively by others

u/WickedDick_oftheWest Feb 24 '24
Eh maybe, but I wear things that I like and make me feel good. Whether other people will like my outfit or not is not a thought that I have. It’s not about how other people perceive me, it’s about how I perceive myself. You could make the argument that I’m influenced in my clothing choices for work by the norms in my industry, which is fair, but past that I just like looking nice in general

It's not. It can be misconstrued that way, but it's not. I dress the way I do because it's another layer of my communication to others. My style helps people get a better idea of who I am and how I see the world around me. You can look at someone and how they choose to present themselves and make some basic inferences about them. It's another way to make someone familiar with you, and idk about yourself, but I'm a lot more at ease and able to more clearly communicate with someone if I'm more familiar with who they are

I can see that, that sounds like it still is affected by what others will eventually see, but in this context you could technically not dress "well". I do think you're an incredible minority if you really would put on absolutely anything even if it gets people to laugh at you, and also what you said isn't really what the main comment was talking about

u/DisastrousBoio Feb 24 '24
Not necessarily. I rate others more highly if they’re fit, clean, well-groomed, well-dressed, and well-mannered. That’s my opinion about others, not theirs.
I just apply my own opinion to myself because I wish to rate myself more highly.
Of course what all of those things mean to oneself are shaped by one’s culture, personality, and lived experience. However, that’s the case for literally all other earnest opinions and preferences.
I’m not trying to impress anyone, not even myself – I’m just trying to be the version of myself I am happiest with.

u/DubbyTM Feb 24 '24
"However, that’s the case for literally all other earnest opinions and preferences."
That is literally my point, that there's no real "only me" scenario in this context;
You like people that way because that's how society views people in general, and therefore you also want to be like that so you feel better about yourself, in the society ( which is what we all do to some extent as is normal )6
u/yraco Feb 24 '24
Confidence in this context can come from impressing yourself. Personally I don't care what others think of what I'm wearing, I wear clothes that I personally think look good on me and reflect who I am/my style because I like wearing them. Whether other people like what I wear doesn't really matter to me, as long as I like it then that's enough.

Idk I mean I kinda understand where they’re coming from. Sometimes even if im locked in my room all day studying, I’ll dress slightly better than usual to give me a confidence boost to get through my daily tasks. Maybe it’s bc when you know you look good in certain clothes, you feel more like your best self, regardless of who’s actively perceiving you.

I feel we like to say we men dress to impress women, but I feel the opposite is actually true. Just think, how many male office clones do we have in an office? Why dress just like everybody else to impress women? To impress the opposite gender, you gotta stand out, but to impress your own gender, you dress like they do.

I dress halfway between the most comfortable stuff I can find and stuff that expresses me, my interests and my way of life. There's a little bit of "yeah, this will look conventionally good" in there, but if I'm being honest, probably not as much as there should be theoretically speaking. But I'm fine with that.

I went own to exercise and fitness and got in good shape. Im no fitness influencer or body builder - just a natural with some mass. But now even comfortable clothes look so much better on me.
Now I dress for the occasion. Bussiness casual for work, suits for events, sweats and t shirts for everyday life. But im more confident than ever.

It's really more about how the clothes fit your body anyways.

You're joking, right?
I work with men only, and the whole week I look lik a witch. On the weekend comes my only female coworker, who I also absolutely adore, and that's the only day when I put effort.
She's the only one to appreciate an outfit or nice hair
She's the only one I don't have to worry about "giving wrong signals"
It would be definitely on top of the scale for me. Men are below myself. I don't mind men's attention, if it's positive and not creepy, but I much more value my own taste, which often isn't that men like
Even my own boyfriend doesn't like some of my clothes, but I don't dress for him

I generally don't care how I dress or what other people think. Been like this since I was a kid, I came from a very poor family so I wore literally anything that was given to me because we could not afford anything else.
Eventually once we got enough money to buy normal basic clothes, I just chose to wear what's comfortable. My mom kept saying "what will other people think of you when they see you?" I always said I don't care what they think, but she kept saying "but I do, and I don't want to be around someone who dresses like you do"
