 Posted: Mon Apr 09, 2012 1:54 pm Post subject: Do most people have just 1 style of clothing? |
 |
|
I was just thinking about the way I dress and does it attract too much negative attention.
I have my own style in that it's a mix of styles: for the most part I dress in 'nerdy' plain or patterned shirts/blouses or graphic and geeky t shirts with jeans and if I need to look formal I wear smart trousers and a shirt.
However, I do collect a lot of different 'looks' for fashion and I wear them when I'm not wearing the nerdy stuff- it's a 50/50 split.
-Steampunk/classic lolita look
-40s vintage
-60s vintage
-80s vintage
-50s and also 20s/30 vintage stuff sometimes
-Modern fashions
I just fear it looks odd for people who know me to see me chopping and changing styles so much - a supposed 'friend' when I was a teenager took me down for it.
Do most people just stick to one style with the odd bit of variation? Is there anything wrong with having such a mix of different clothing tastes?

| I change my style just about everyday. One day I might wear sporty, so the next I might wear preppy, girly, nerdy, punk, skater, classy, geek, tomboy, chic, and I've even tried emo a couple times. |

I think people do tend to have favourites. My style is just clothes, all and any clothes will do. So like Briana_Lopez I will chop and change quite a bit, one day I'm wearing tracky bottoms and a baggy top, next day I'm wearing a summer dress.
I like bright colours usually and wacky patterns, horizontal stripes are another favourite.

Thanks, I'll think about how others may dress and weigh it up.
I love the quote about primates

Depends on where I'm going. Mostly it's just to the grocery store than it's jeans and tees or sweaters cause it got chilly again
If a concert or wedding I might go sexy casual. Something a bit more feminine and form fitting but still respectable. |

My style hasn't changed much and I don't expect that it will really although the influences I have in my particular style are very mixed in their own way.
That said, I know many girls go through "stages" when it comes to clothes, only later to just go between all their looks depending on what they feel like on the day. I don't see anything wrong with it, if that's what they like then go for it.
The people commenting to you are probably the people who need shaking up a bit (at least that's what I've found!).

I go for nerdy and a little twee. For work, I like pants or skirts (not jeans) with blouses and/or sweater or a dress with tights and flats. (the flats because I clomp like a kiddie in heels)
At home, on my own, I wear promotional t-shirts and baggy jeans. Right now I'm wearing a bright orange t-shirt that advertises a plumbing service and jeans that don't have any knees. Sexy.
I like fashion, I just hate shopping and only do it in fits and starts. I do a quarterly run to Target and Goodwill for basics and to fill in any gaps and about once a year I go all out and head over to a mall that has both a Macys and Nordstrom.
So basically, I stick to one style because that's all I've got. I could fit all my clothes into a mid-sized duffle. |

| I like many very different styles of clothing, too. And frankly I don't care what other people think of it. If I want to go shopping in a Medieval dress or a pirate outfit, then by all mean I shall! Never be afraid to be yourself. I think all you people who have lots of different styles and/or dress strangely are totally awesome. :3 |

I change my style so often it's crazy, but generally it will be some combination of vaguely retro, somewhat nerdy, eco-hippy-thingy or clean-cut stylishish. Ishishishish. Once I start with the "ishes" it's hard to stop.

I pull clothes from a bunch of different styles. One day, I'll be in hippie clothes, the next day I may wear a geeky shirt and pants. I also enjoy wearing dresses. My style changes from day to day based on what happens to be clean and what I feel like wearing. I have never be true to any one style, though. It's just a mess of a bunch of different styles and I like that.

I don't think most people have that many different styles, but that doesn't make it wrong. It seems that you have a strong interest in vintage fashions of various eras. To me that seems rather cool. |

Long shirt that covers my butt, black leggings, flip-flops or sandals, and a hair accessory.
If not, hoodie and sweatpants or shorts and t-shirt. |

| I have basically one style, jeans and t-shirts -- with the occasional sweater in the winter and shorts in the summer. If I wear anything different, I feel extremely uncomfortable. |
