    Hell, I BARELY dress for myself, let alone others.

    The two deciding factors are “Does this protect me from public indecency laws” and “Am I warm/cool enough in this”. Anything goes so long as it meets this criteria.

    when I dress for myself it’s usually in funky, slightly silly clothing

    when I dress for others it’s as low-effort business casual for a zoom meeting square as possible

    Comfort is a deciding factor on how I dress. Within that, I try to pull off looks that don’t look like ass, which I seem to pull off.

    I don’t know the difference. I pretty much live in business casual, but on the weekends I will wear a graphic tee instead of a white undershirt. Maybe I leave my button down shirt open. It’s what I would choose to wear in any instance I leave the house. I’m comfortable in my clothes.

    I’ve learned, through the years, what’s comfortable for me and still produces an image that others find pleasing. That image is still very comfortable looking, mind you. I’ve been told that when I’m out I look like “Merlin on vacation…”

    Both. I like look good in clothes that fit, but I wear what I like, and always have. As a kid, my mother would pick out clothes in the morning, and I’d come down in totally different clothing. I like fashion. I am not gay. And I also like to appear well dressed. And also, 95% of my tshirts are geeky graphic tees, like my Andorian Mining Consortium (Runs from Nobody) shirt.

    But it’s not like I’m walking around in suits, ever. I just like jeans and shirts that fit, and I hate mundane white bread and mayo fashion, or lack there of.

    Both, but it’s less about looking good or acceptable to others, it’s more about displaying a specific image really.

    I usually go for function over form. Its why i wear red kap cargo pants with abrasion resistance. Theyve got buncha pockets so i can carry all the things.

    I mostly dress for sensory issues and gender dysphoria. For work, I additionally dress to get taken seriously and in my free time, I dress for fun (sparkles, bright colours, frills, think David Bowies more fem looks). So, like most people, a mix of both, with one or the other being a stronger consideration in different situations.
