I view everything in the world as a conversation essentially -- there are indeed 3 sides to every story but perhaps a little different than what the general consensus in my opinion
There's what we say, what we mean, and what to intend
The conversation has gotten so mixed up its hard for anyone to know anything especially with people with whom one is unfamiliar and in large groups
Dress is very much part of that conversation and is a great heuristic of where the conversation is going; as a very stark generalization I'd venture that people with advanced dress sense also have advanced conversation skills
Don't get me wrong I'm sure that people exist who don't fit this but that's why it's just a heuristic
And before you mention judging a book by its cover I'm not being judgemental I'm simply stating that humans still need all the help they can get -- we can't all be Kurt Cobains because there are simply some conversations that can't be had in certain milieus
- Balanceinfinity 7y agoThe distinction between dressing up and not dressing up is not as big as those who dress with intention and purpose and those who don't. I've seen people wear very expensive suits but they look terrible because they are illfitting and poorly matched. I've seen people in brown pants and a button down shirt looking good because they have their leathers matching and have given some thought to their appearance. so wear suits by all means, but even more important, learn how to put together a set of clothes that speak well for you.
- artsyca 7y agoThis is exactly what I have been trying to say, intention matters, and yes you're right about being well put together Unfortunately day after day for a year say, it becomes quite apparent that some people dress without intention, intentionally and that hurts morale
