You see appearance as ‘secondary in life’ and value ‘human connections’
They value appearance first, far above love for one another
OP seems to care about appearances a lot, they're just not good at it themselves.
If he’s really wearing sweatpants with polo shirts then he might be too far gone.
What do you mean? What's the problem with wearing a shirt with sweatpants?
Nuthin pal. You’re good. You do you.
No I wanna know because I'm self conscious and wanna improve my look and take advice happily. If you go as far and say I'm "too far gone" then you can also tell me what the reason for that is. For me a polo and sweatpants/shorts are normal casual wear.
Polo shirts are "dressy casual". Sweat pants are gym clothes. Mixing the two is a big fuckup. People might tend to take the position that fashion is binary: either you like to walk around like you're going to the academy awards, or you don't give a fuck. The reality is that there is a place in the middle where it's not really fashion we're talking about; it's just being "put together". There is no need to don a silk shirt and tie to go the supermarket. But on the other hand, walking around in daily life like you just rolled out of bed is dis-empowering. If you present yourself to the world with a DGAF attitude, then the world will simply DGAF you back. Understand that every time you go out in public you are showcasing who you are by how you look and dress. Every time is an opportunity. Maybe you meet a new friend or lover. Maybe the person behind you in line that you chat with is potentially your new boss. Putting yourself together before you go out is not about projecting a false or smug image; it's about projecting care and confidence. When people see that you give a fuck about how you present yourself, then they conclude that you probably give a fuck about other things too; maybe things they care about. Don't wear sweat pants or gym clothes out and about as daily drivers. Pair that Ralph Loren Polo with shorts, or with nice fitting jeans.
It's not about sweatpants and polo or not. It's about which sweatpants with which polo shirt
I'm literally trying to do that middle approach. It's just that I don't wanna spend the majority of my life thinking how I should dress especially when I'm just going to the grocery store, as life is way too short for that.
But like I said I value comfort and it's not like I don't care what others think, it's just that it's not too important for me and everyone has their own taste anyways.
For example I don't like jeans at all for me personally, comfort and style wise (even though I think it looks very beautiful on others).
Matching the Polo with shorts is literally in the first image I sent you and that's a common fit I wear in the summer. When wearing sweatpants I often go with a hoodie or hoodie jacket and these are very common things.
So I really don't see the problem. I'm not saying it's bad that others put so much effort and thought into their appearance I'm just saying it's not my thing and what I'm good at as this would exhaust me. But I agree with your point that anything could be a potential chance and it's important how you present yourself.
Seems like a common thing
what we see here is
step 1: be fit and good looking. step 2: wear anything you want and look good (it's not about the clothes)
The picture of the guy wearing the green sweat pants is wearing a t-shirt, so that's not a fuckup. But the guy wearing the grey Izod with the sweatpants and sneakers is a major fuckup. A major big fuckup that says "I'm clueless". If you want to spend your life lonely and depressed, go ahead wear that.
This is where you're not getting it.... you think about it once. Get your style choices and wardrobe sorted. Then after that it's just putting on clothes.
Only one of those is actually what I'd describe as "polo shirt and sweatpants" - first one isn't really wearing sweatpants (and doesn't have super hairy legs like many men) and the third one isn't wearing a polo shirt. And yeah, the look might work if you're fit and at least know how to pick clothes that match (color and fit) both with each other and with the way your body, hair etc. look. But the way you're describing yourself doesn't really sound like it.
they do?
