Wearing leisurewear out and about is declasse (self.opinionhavers)

Leisurewear: things like sweat pants, track suits, pajama pants, leggings. Out and about: anywhere you're not immediately and obviously coming to/going from working out, or in the case of pajama pants, literally anywhere at all outside of your home.

It all is so declasse and even trashy. No we don't dress as formally as they did in the 1950s, but being the tip of the spear of plunging standards by wearing Tweety Bird flannel pants grocery shopping or skin tight leggings out to dinner makes you uniquely classless.

If your behavior is driving the eradication of standards, yeah, your choices are bad.

Have some respect for yourself and others and throw on actual pants at least, even if you still must wear a hoodie with them. A collared shirt would be a bonus, but again, pants are the bare minimum here to seem respectable.

It's ironic, because even wealthy people are doing it, especially leggings everywhere. But that's the era we live in, where the wealthiest among us are often the most culturally vapid as well.

Other people’s clothes don’t affect you.

Simply false actually. Humans are social creatures. How they present themselves to other humans is important. This is true of most social animals too.

Would you like to go back and explain the fedora comment relevancy

Other people's clothes do not affect you and no amount of "nah uh" arguments you make will change that.

The "tips fedora" comment was based on the fact that neckbeards assumed they looked good in a classic style hat, and looked goofy as shit. YOu said it yourself.

nobody ever thought neckbeards had good style

I guarantee someone looks at you in public, even though you are satisfied with yourself and well dressed to your standard, and judges your style even more harsh than you judge others.

What makes your style better and not "trashy" like you said?
