The only reason I put pants on is because it’s be arrested otherwise.

That being said, comfortable has priority over good looking and I don’t think I’ve ever had a compliment on how I dress since grandma saw me in a suit when I graduated 20 something years ago.

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.

Function over form every day all day. Fuck others.
I’ve been a jeans and T-shirt guy for well over 30 years at this point.

I 100% dress for others, I don’t really care about clothing, and I hate to buy new clothes. I only do it because I think I may be nearing some limit of what is considered decent to wear in the presence of other people, who 100% always are better dressed than me.

The other day I was at the supermarket, and had seen they had a special offer on “plaice” I think it’s called.
Well the special offer was sold out, and I asked an employee if they had anymore.
The employee was extremely nice, and asked how many I had planned to buy? And I said 2, then he took 2 bags that had 50% more content, and wrote the price of the special offer on them, and said I should just mention his name at the register.
I though Wow that stellar service, and it was only when I came home I realized I had some of my worst pants on that are so warn they had holes in them.
I have newer pants, but I don’t like them, because they have no sway and they are some sort of stretch material to be tight, and I absolutely hate that. And I also hate shopping for clothes.

Anyways because my clothes are (to put it mildly) sub par for normal people, I figured he probably thought I was some sort of destitute.

I am married, and our economy is absolutely fine, we own an almost paid out house, and we have a car that was bought cash without borrowing, and we have a good amount of money in the bank.

Anyways I don’t care, maybe because I don’t have to. I just want clothes that are comfortable.

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

For both. I wear cheap business casual to work to present a particular image: appear like I have my shit together (I don’t) but I’m also budget conscious. I wear the same outfit every day (for me) because I hate making fashion decisions and crave simplicity. I have five of the same shirt and five of the same pant. Weekends I have a different uniform that says “fit, economical, comfortable, safe.” Two of the same pant and shirt.

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

I dress for the weather.

Hell, I BARELY dress for myself, let alone others.

The two deciding factors are “Does this protect me from public indecency laws” and “Am I warm/cool enough in this”. Anything goes so long as it meets this criteria.

Looking at myself gives me the thoughts of despair so I dress to make people not look at me

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

Both. I like look good in clothes that fit, but I wear what I like, and always have. As a kid, my mother would pick out clothes in the morning, and I’d come down in totally different clothing. I like fashion. I am not gay. And I also like to appear well dressed. And also, 95% of my tshirts are geeky graphic tees, like my Andorian Mining Consortium (Runs from Nobody) shirt.

But it’s not like I’m walking around in suits, ever. I just like jeans and shirts that fit, and I hate mundane white bread and mayo fashion, or lack there of.

Noone would ever confuse me for someone who dresses for others. Lol

At home for myself, at work for others.
