I am always spending time deciding which clothes to wear whenever I go out of the house. It makes me conscious that people might not like what I wear, or they might say things bad againts me just because of what I put on. Do you think that being presentable is just right?or you don even care at all?

being presentable is plain right. but i think one really doesn't need to spend. colors of clothing chosen properly can spell a whole lot of difference in plain inexpensive items from expensive items whose colors are haphazardly chosen to be worn.

Correct..its how you wear your clothes. Doesn't need to be expensive. If you are comfortable of what you wear, then it will show, and it will look good on you.

It is good to wear some nice cloths, people always look for your clothing details. I think your girl friend or boy friend will look for it if no body else does. For having a good clothing style the various points you should remember are a. If you are a tall guy then you can wear cloths having contrast in their color. For example a dark black shirt with white pants. If you are a small person then you should avoid wearing contrast dresses. It will make you appear smaller. b. Keep symmetry with your wearings. If you fold one arm then fold the other too. People love symmetry. c. Your belt and shoes color must be same. d. Try to match a color you are wearing below the waist to the cloth you are wearing above the waist. Like a white cap with a white shoes, or a dark cap with dark belt. You can try different things. Apply these tips they are of very much use. It will not cost anything more to you to apply them but you can make your self look good. Thank you.

I agree,,, Your shoes is not part of your wardrobe, it should match your accessories.. For ladies, if your wearing a mini-dress, the color of your shoes must be closer to your accessories not to the dress, ( this also applies to your bag ) For men, same, if your wearing a cap, try to match it with your belt or bracelet. Shoes must me close to your accessries.

People definitely notice what you wear. Clothes enhance a person's attractiveness. And an attractive person can make themselves unattractive through deliberately unflattering clothing; although this may not occur unless a person feels bad within, because some people just have natural charisma and can wear just about anything and still attract positive attention. People notice stylishness more than anything else, and stylish can mean dressed up and elegant, or dressed down and cool. It's not important what you wear so much as how you carry it off; and that involves self-confidence. If you feel awful in your clothes, people will pick up on it; on the other hand, if you feel good, people will openly admire you. Few are those who can wear "anything"...but there are some people who, no matter what they wear, will still be charismatic to others. But even they will have off days. Clothes are important but even more so is personal magnetism; and that is often conveyed through the face, and most especially: the eyes. Some people have magnetic eyes that attract others irrestibly; even they, though need to feel good about themselves. Depression, exhaustion, anger, negative attitudes...all can chip away at a person's charm to others. And wearing unflattering clothes on top of all that...hardly helps! People notice others; that's a fact...they like to see what others are wearing, thinking, feeling. It's entertaining to them. And even inspiring. We live in a visual world; which is why so many of us take trouble to dress. We are on show as soon as we step out the door.

Yes, I think people do care what you wear. If I went to work wearing something other than my uniform then the management would not be happy. If I went to a formal event in a tracksuit then I may not be allowed it. Generally speaking though I don't care so much what other people think about what I am wearing, I just want to feel confident and part of that is to be wearing something that looks nice.

Yes people do notice what you wear sometimes but it is no reason for you to be over conscious. I think the basic rule for dressing are: It should always be clean and does not smell, it should fit you right, it is appropriate for the occasion or situation your are in. You might wear the most expensive designer clothes and still get flack if you do not follow the guidelines I mentioned . thanks and good luck

In my country, most people do not care and just wear the way they want. Of course, I'm not saying about wearing just an underwear out, LOL. But people now are just wearing a bermuda shorts, with a T-shirt and then a slippers and off they go. Well, I do not care too because I don't really care about what people think about me, as long as I like it, it's my business. Some people may take note of what others wear, such as their personality and behavior, but they can do that as long as they don't disrupt other people's lives. Well, if I'm going for a wedding or to school, I'll watch out how I wear but when it's casual, I'll be casual.

I dont think that people care as much about what we wear as we do ourselves. People only seem to care if what you wear is a reflection on them in any way. otherwise, i really don't think people care how we are dressed.

There are some people who might care. But really, why should they? Rather why should I care what other people wear. I am not living their life, what they do does not affect me. I think that people who watch what others where with a critical eye should really worry about things that involve them more, as opposed to what other people do. I'm sure some people might care. Really, however, its not there life. However, while I might take their opinions in mind for a second, I am the one with the absolute control of what I do. Including what I wear. I am presentable enough but some people have so high standards, that it is not really funny. I have really spared little thought to what people wear, because that has no bearing on anything that I do in my life.

It's not that I think that people care about that I wear, but I know that people care about what I wear. It's not only me, people care about what everyone wear, even when they deny. Some of them will criticise you in your face or in your back if they don't like it. Some people will praise you or insult you. It depends on the country and the manners of that person. I like to dress for myself and not for others, so I only care about what do I think of the person in the mirror. I think you should dress in a way that makes you happy and feel confortable with yourself too, and just forget about the others

hello goodkiss! i wear what i wear not because i care what people will say about it. I do take extra care about my appearance and clothes when i go out, especially at work and when attending official functions. I don't want to be misconstrued and give the wrong impression to people. But i dress for myself, to show my individuality. We cannot please everybody and someone is bound to either like or dislike your sense of fashion. If you keep on changing in accordance with what people will like on you, you would have a hard time trying to keep up with it.

We will never please anyone. So why should I care about what other people would think? For as long as I am comfortable with what I am wearing and for as long as its decent, and presentable.. that's what it matters.

I care about what people say about how i look and what I wear. But at times, I don't let what other people think and say about how i look and what I wear, hinder me from wearing what I want. I sometimes wear what I want regardless of what people think. I love my freedom mate. ehehe :D Nice post! God bless you! have a happy life! :D

Most of the times, I don’t really bother at all. I like dressing simply and comfortably and most of the times, I’m in cotton clothes which do look rumpled but are very very comfortable. The only times I care for my looks is if I’m going for a job interview or if it’s a formal family occasion.

I believe they do care; as i speak for myself, yes; i do care about what other people wear. I dont know if this has someting to do with me being a fashionista or color enthusiast, but i am a bit critical with what ladies wear, especially ladies in showbiz. And since i am critical with what other people wear, i am just as conscious of what i wear. Take for instance, i dislike seeing voluptuous ladies wearing leggings. I must give them some credit for guts to wear skinny stuff but i find it distasteful whenever i see them wearing leggings as i could actually visualize their cellulites springing while they walk! I am sooooo sorry if i offend anyone here. i am chubby too but you wont see me wearing tights! I am also hypercritical of ladies wearing tooo teeny weeny micro mini skirts, shorts and with looooow cleavages as i think they are coming around too cheap and too revealing. And woah.. I am also critical on the accessories. Like, when you wear a v-neck top, never wear a choker because it is sooo... duh...

I do take note as to how I appear and dress, but not for others as this is who I am. You have to keep in mind that you cannot please the entire world, so simply make sure you neat, clean and appealing to you. All the rest won't matter as if anyone truly makes rude comments about how you look then why on earth encircle yourself around them.

As for me yes. Generally, we like seeing wholesome things (Just agree! haha). We like seeing beautiful things. Many conclusions about yourself can be drawn by other people just by looking your get-ups that's why we try to make it presentable because we don't want to leave bad impressions about ourselves to others. If I see someone wear the same clothes for 2 straight days, I conclude that, that person has less money and I tend to imagine that he smells because his clothes are worn twice. That's just one of those things that I usually think when I don't know yet the person and so I'm making my first impression of him in my mind.

I choose my clothes to wear depending on my own comfort and to please my own self and not other people. People don't care the way we dress, they just criticize and appreciate. We shouldn't dress for them, rather we should dress for ourselves. If you've got the confidence to wear what you think is best for you, then it's your confidence that will shine through and not the clothes you wear!

I think there are some who do care. Some people mostly criticize the way you wear because it may not be appealing to them. Some care because they want you to look good in what you wear. What you wear will reflect on your character and it may sometimes be on the basis as to what impression you will make to others.
