Why dressed-up, “chic” clothing styles feel unappealing to me
I have no problem with dress codes. Work, weddings, formal occasions - all logical. If there are clear social norms with others involved, you adapt. What I don’t understand is: why people voluntarily wear obviously uncomfortable clothes in their free time.
Take the university library for example. You go there to sit at a desk for hours and just study. And yet I see all these people sitting there in clothes that are clearly not comfortable, restricting movement, designed more for appearance than for comfort - things they obviously wouldn’t wear if they were studying at home. Why? What’s the point? Who is this for?
Or another example: Almost every roommate I’ve ever had wears comfortable, cozy clothes at home. But the moment those same people step outside (just to go shopping, take a walk, do something completely ordinary) many of them change clothes - and not into other comfortable outfits, but into things they would never voluntarily wear at home, precisely because they’re uncomfortable. That feels simply contradictory to me.
What irritates me is not that people want to look good. And comfortable cozy clothes don’t mean they can’t be good-looking or stylish. What I don’t understand

the timing matters more than people admit and that’s why this won’t land the same for everyone This probably isn’t the last word on it. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
From my side, the follow-through is what will decide this which explains why reactions are split That’s what makes this interesting. Hard to say where this lands long term.
the way this is presented changes how it lands which is why the comments look the way they do
Bluntly speaking, the logic is there, but the execution is uneven and that’s the part people are stuck on This could age very differently in a week.
Not gonna lie, the follow-through is what will decide this and that’s where it gets complicated That’s the impression it gives me.
Trying to be fair, this feels more about execution than intent
this feels rushed rather than thought through which explains why reactions are split That’s the key detail here. That’s the impression it gives me.
From a neutral view, the wording alone shifts how people read this and that tension shows up immediately That’s what makes this interesting. Not convinced this is settled yet.
I get the idea, the follow-through is what will decide this and that’s where it gets complicated That’s just how it reads to me.
