I don't care what people wear in public, amirite?

if anyone's day is ruined bc someone is wearing PJs in Walmart, they might just be suffering from mental health issues

i've really seen people be pressed about this, and it's just like… why? 😭 no words, I just wanna know why this ruins your day

by Anonymous 1 month ago

It doesn't ruin my day, but I really don't understand why people do it because I couldn't. I know I'm probably super weird for this, but me wearing pyjamas anywhere outside of my house makes me physically really uncomfortable.

As long as they're following relevant dress codes then do whatever

I don't care what anyone wears, except beige leggings being worn as pants. That's such an unnecessary optical illusion.

They could be annoyed because they put the effort in to do whatever they felt they had to in order to be presentable to go outside, while that other person clearly didn't. I myself do not have the energy for that lol

I worked at my lost job for 8 years. In the last year we were having a drink after work snd my colleagues started discussing this woman we occasionally work with. They were discussing her clothes and how she often wore the same outfits and how they would never wear the exact same thing twice. I just sat there in my clothes I wear all the time and I felt so uncomfortable. I'm so glad I'm out of there.

It's about the bare minimum required to be part of society. It's the slow degrading of societal norms to the lowest common denominator of effort

The older I get the more of these what would seem trivial stuff, as what to wear matters.

But you didn't mention a large bearded man wearing a small dress, other girly clothes and excessive makeup. I hope that's also ok with you

Not going to lie if you can just glaze over anything people wear you will have an easy life because I met more than enough people in public that wear something so disgusting I regret ever taking a glance at their "clothes".

by Dense-Ad 1 month ago

I get your point, but it would be nice if people made the tiniest bit of effort when they are out in public.

by Joanasanford 1 month ago

oh of course. like I said, society would definitely look more appealing if people put in effort, but I think we as a society need to worry about things like littering, clean streets and parks, etc. before worrying about what people wear

True.

Why? Good faith question.

I mean as long as they're not walking around in their underwear I don't understand how this can be an issue.

So IYO, did Steve Jobs put in effort or not? It was an alright looking turtle neck and outfit. He didn't look bad. I'm fully in his court here. Same basic clothes, maybe change the colors a tad but forget trying to play dress up all the time and deliberating over outfits.

it doesnt make me mad per se. but I do judge you. people should care about how they present themselves.

by MiserableClothes2093 1 month ago

that's honestly fair. as long as someone looks clean though, I don't really care. i'd also likely judge that person, but I won't treat them any differently and I certainly won't let it ruin my day.

by Anonymous 1 month ago

Why though? If I need to go do some shopping with my daughter I'm not going to get all dolled up because you would prefer me to? Leggings and a T-shirt is all I need for the store, I'm comfy and that's all that matters. So the way I dress is not for you. I'll get spiced up when my husband and I go for a date, but that is it. He loves me in my pj's and in my dresses and that's all I care about, not some random stranger in the store. Lmao

by Logical_One 1 month ago

i mean you dont have to get dolled up or dress up, at all. but ideally you should still try to look clean and presentable in public.

by MiserableClothes2093 1 month ago

This. I don't get angry at all about what you're wearing, but I will judge you if you look like a homeless person and of course I'll avoid you as much as I can. I don't maintain my hygiene and presentation to be with people who don't

I really don't get this. In the weekend I'm chilling at home wearing pyjama pants. If I have to run to the store for 5 minutes I'll put on shoes and a jacket but I'm not gonna put on other pants. Why would I want to present myself properly when I'm just buying bread?

by Brodyauer 1 month ago

Same. Dressing casually is one thing, but there's a certain kind of slovenly presentation (think Sam Bankman-Fried) that feels deliberate, almost like you're saying that dressing appropriately is somehow beneath you.

I do understand that. some judgement is likely to occur when someone clearly don't put effort into their appearance, but I also look at it as this person may have a LOT going on in their life. maybe they have a lot of kids, or a full time job where they work mandatory overtime and don't get much time to clean up. and of course any other possible issues. but at the end of the day, I'm not gonna remember their outfit or let it affect me in any way.

Exactly!! 💯

by Front-Ad-7376 1 month ago

I feel really bad for judging people. People should feel comfy in what they go out in. My biggest gripe is people who smell on public transport or anywhere close to other people. Oh and people out with their kids wearing see-through clothes. Omg I feel terrible for their kids.

I feel like it's only boomers who give a sjite what people wear in public. "Back in my day…"

I mean who are we to define self-respect? I personally put in effort, but I also don't really care most of the time. I expect basic respect from people regardless of what I wear. you don't have to kiss the ground I walk on, but don't be gross or creepy or straight up rude to me just because you disapprove of me.

by Anonymous 1 month ago

Have you considered that self-respect can take the form of "I'm not going to do what strangers ask of me regarding my appearance and instead am going to wear what is comfortable and practical"? I'm not advocating for walking around dirty and covered in cockroaches or anything, but me respecting myself means listening to my body's needs, not the needs of other people's eyeballs, which shouldn't be on my body in the first place. Comfort, cleanliness, practicality, and safety are all I care about when running errands. I could not care one single bit whether Karen likes my hoodie. She needs to mind her business and have some self respect to not intrude on other people's daily errands by staring at strangers like that! It is so weird and creepy to be like "this woman in the grocery store had a shirt I didn't like." Lord, mind your business, everyone else's clothes don't exist to make scenery for you.

by Life-Ad-6682 1 month ago

Etiquette still exists, it's just changed. It's crazy to me that people think "elbows off the table" and "Sunday best" was better etiquette than "let's not lynch people" and "live and let live".

by Living_Current_9440 1 month ago

I wish I could have that mindset of not caring about what I wear. It's probably because I'm a naturally attractive girl - a lot of people notice when I don't make as much effort. "Lazy day today?" or "Gee, don't mess with Belle today" My girlfriend on the other hand is able to not care what she wears. She went to a laboratory class the other day with a stained shirt and didn't realise until I pointed it out. She shrugged. I would not have lived if I realised that. I'm always jealous. On the other hand, I do take a lot of notice of what others wear. Especially if its nice. I like to see the different styles. I guess its just my nature to want to be a bit girly.
