When it comes to clothing myself, I like to dress well.. I always have. A good fitting, tailored three-piece suit is probably one of the larger joys in my life right next to older Porsches. Lately I have not had much chance to dress as I like due to the fact I wear a uniform these days. A suit and a gun do not go too well together in my current line of work, but possibly in my next career assuming I progress upwards maybe they will.
I derive a lot of happiness from the wearing of well fitted clothing and a lot of folks who know this think I am nuts for it… asking who am I trying to impress and there is no need to dress like that, they even go so far as to question my sexual preferences. I dress as I do because I derive joy from it and I have a sense of pride, not to make anyone else happy. Their sentiments are usually based on the current trends in society to dress like a slob. I think many of them would secretly like to dress better, they are just worried as to what their peers would think… which in all honesty would probably be better of them rather then the worse that they imagine.
T-Shirts and jeans have their place and I wear them as well, I however will not wear Ill-fitting clothing as most of the people I meet do. I do not know when it became the the norm to wear shirts and pants two to three sizes too large, but it looks flat out stupid. How hard is it honestly to pick out something that fits? Clothes should be worn as not to stand out on their own, but help the wearer stand out. When you wear things that do not fit, that is what is noticed and the impression about you is made.
People say do not judge a book by its cover, but I do and I am much more likely to talk to the guy or gal who seems to be taking care of themselves rather then the ones dressed in a baggy jersey with shorts down to their ankles and flip flops. When I see someone dressed in ridiculous clothing I make a judgment whether I want to or not about how I think that person takes care of themselves and I tend to not want to associate with people who cannot be bothered to take the slightest care of their person.
Where did peoples pride go?
This post was completely random, has very poor grammar, and was probably a waste of your time. I am not even sure what inspired this half ass-ed rant… time for bed.
