No excuse for sloppy dressing, please!

The way people dress today, topic is worth noting. The massive decline in dressing nicely and appropriately in our country has gotten so bad.

Check our European counterparts dress compared to us.

We’ve really let ourselves go.

Dressing well is a non-negotiable rule in the workplace today. Some might say I'm being snooty, superficial, and judgmental--and maybe even a bully for having this opinion.?I'm not saying that I have a problem with people wearing t-shirts, shorts, etc. when running errands, by the way.

?

I love to dress casually myself and it would be pretty ridiculous to don a dress and gloves to pick up milk and bread, like they did in the 1950s. However, there is such a thing as being too casual.?

To me, it's not a question of bullying but of having respect for oneself and others when out in public to dress in a way so that we're not subjecting innocent bystanders to seeing a body part where normally the sun doesn't shine.

Outside world get the attention they do--many of the display images on there are so unbelievably grotesque and repulsive breasts, bellies, and butts spilling out of too tight fabric; underwear missing altogether; bodily fluids leaking onto the aisle floor.

?

They make me throw up in my mouth.

Thank you?...It seems nowadays that the only time people make an effort to dress up is when they HAVE to, like at job interviews, weddings, and funerals.

And from what I hear, and see, slob nation is making its way into those social situations, too. People today just don't seem to give a s*it about their appearance and the way they present themselves.?

The Canadians apparently take more pride in their appearance than we do. Dress shabbily, and they remember the dress. Dress impeccably, and they remember the woman. That quote must be extended today to both sexes.

?Women notice certain things when they first see a man--his eyes, his smile, and his shoulders. I notice those physical traits, too, but also the way he is dressed. Unfortunately, so many men today in this country seem to be horrendous dressers.

I am not laying all of the blame on men here. Women...a lot of and see women...dress sloppily, too-- I've noticed a few things about guys that have disgusted me.

Do you want to add a word or two?....

I have seen too many men dressed inappropriately in fine restaurants and other venues that call for some professionalism.

?Baseball caps a huge no-no when worn indoors, guys--remember that scene from?The Sopranos?

Wife beaters or tank tops that expose their tattoos lovely, baggy items that are way too large, sweatshirts, t-shirts, shorts, sneakers and sandals.

On the rare occasion men wear a suit again, it is often way too large, unflattering, and clearly hadn't been tailored or chosen more carefully for their body shape.? I once went to a Meetup event after work once that was held in the downstairs lounge of a nice local restaurant. The guys who showed up--many of whom were single--looked like they were about to go hiking or to the beach.

It is a little unimpressive.

Whatever happened to the saying "the clothes make the man"?

Your comments ….

Fat friends: I am shocked by the number of overweight young people I often see.

They were not chubby, but fat. They had bulging bellies and billowing pillows of back and shoulder stuffing, punctured by flabby arms and lardy legs that no amount of fake-tan could disguise.

And what struck me even more forcefully about these lumpen individuals there were dozens more, equally large, in the queue behind me was how obviously unconcerned they were about it.

One was wearing shockingly skimpy crochet shorts, as seen on size-zero models in adverts. But in this case, the shorts made it appear the wearer had an extra bottom hanging below the cut-off hemline.

Another girl wore white stretch leggings with a pattern of cellulite dimples showing through, accessorized with a super-sized sausage of overhanging belly.

Meanwhile, the third sported a cut-away vest top revealing the entire back of her pink bra, complete with chunky rolls of fat above, beneath and around the straps. To top it all, these three were - I kid you not - sharing a bag of crisps.

People dress casual. Why? Because clothes are freedom—freedom to choose how we present ourselves to the world; freedom to blur the lines between man and woman, old and young, rich and poor.

The rise of casual style directly undermined millennia-old rules that dictated noticeable luxury for the rich and functioning work clothes for the poor.

There were very few ways to disguise your social class.

You wore it—literally—on your sleeve. Today, CEOs wear sandals to work and white suburban kids tweak their L.A. Raiders hat a little too far to the side.

Compliments of global capitalism, the clothing market is flooded with options to mix-and-match to create a personal style.
