Stranger's Reactions to your Clothes?

[nictan]

I know, but this was the day after I tried to make him understand, and I was no more tolerant now. I don´t think the clothes I wear are better at all, but at least I´m not screaming for attention with wearing logo stuff, that´s the difference. I did try to point out the different, but the dude got it all wrong, as you can see.

And I´m not going to try to make people understand anymore. As you all say, it´s senseless.

i came to that realization a long time ago. people who dont understand fashion or why we buy what we buy or wear what we wear will never understand, same goes to why i dont understand how some people can splash a few thousand dollars on bicycles etc.

different people, different interests.

People are usually just in awe when I step out in public.

Good, I haven't banned anyone in a few days.

Maybe we would be in awe too if you would post a pic of what awe's the people when you step out in public.........

i went to school, dressed quite simply, (a black polo with dior skinnies).

my tutor: do you go to homeclub?
me: whats that?
tutor: oh apparently not then, but its a place where people go to listen to indie music, you like the emo indie kinda person
me: okay, i guess not haha

and all i did was wear skinnies and a slim fit polo tee. imagine i had gone in drapes.

but den again, people from my side of the world arent very receptive of varying kinds of fashion, anything outside the 'norm' is ugly

toes are overrated; i'm all about the arch.

Should've whispered "lesbian."

[cabl3]

Should've slapped that ho.

fixed.

[Heirloom]

fixed.

why? Is being called gay an insult equal to being slapped? Noone likes to be called something they're not, but dude. I'm not offended when someone thinks i'm straight, which DOES happen occasionally.

[cabl3]

not at all...I didnt even look that much into it when I typed it.
by your standards then, even faust's initial comment can be interpreted as receiving the "gay" comment as an insult.

If you're trying to make him understand where you're coming from and what you appreciate in clothing, insulting the clothing he chooses only makes you seem more pretentious than he, and further alienates you. Next time try objectively pointing out the differences between LUC and D&G, rather than ridiculing the man's label of choice.

The impermeability of anyone who doesn't understand your aesthetic sensibilities, fashion or otherwise, always makes it very easy to fall into cliches. It's easier to 'play a role' than really try to evaluate the situation, especially considering half of your conscious self is battling the deluge of self-loathing involved in any battle over justifying your own pursuits, desires, interests to other people who disapprove-- as if any rational being can't help but question the worth of his own position when others actively criticize it.
