Aight. Let's be honest. How many of you dress for yourselves, and how many dress for others?

    It’s a bit of both. I’m a photographer and I like to think of my outfits like photos, especially when I’m going somewhere where I plan to network. I want to present myself as someone with a good sense of style and who knows how to make people look good. So my style is my own, but I try to make sure I look good and fit the vibe of where I’m going.

    I recently went to a party focused on some spiritual stuff and to match the vibe I got some 3/4 harem pants, but I got ones with a slightly muted floral pattern to make it my own. I made the rest of my outfit plain and dark to match and really emphasize the new pants. It was a style a bit outside my comfort zone, but was a big hit and I got lots of compliments.

    I have more important things to worry about than clothes. Nobody cares what I wear, and frankly neither do I.

      They do care that I wear clothes. Ain’t nobody’s day improved by seeing more of my skin.

        Clothing is a courtesy I wear for others.

    IDK… I dress how I like, so for myself, I guess.

    I have no fashion sense and buying clothes stresses me out so I dress for neither. At best, I dress for other people’s basic sense of modesty.

    Third option: dressing for the weather.

    Myself, it’s “others”. I have a public-facing job, and the better I look the more I sell and the more I earn. At home I’m generally as close to naked as is practical, and as close fo all-black as laundry allows.
