Dressing for Comfort or Style?
Why do people where the things they do? Do people dress to protect themselves from the cold, or do people want to get attention from others? Please share your ideas.
Hello Randall and everyone. I wear a T-shirt, a shirt and a pair of jeans with a belt at home.I put on jeans,because they don't tighten my body. When I go to work,I choose to wear a formal suit to impress my clients and pass for a sincere worker.Actually,I feel like working hard for my clients,when I put on a suit. kann-u from Japan
Hello everyone. In my case, comfort is more important when i choose what to wear today. However, i think it depends on your schedule on the day. I make it a rule to work out for hours everyday and my job is gym instructor, so there is no choice but to dress for comfort. Contrary, seeing girlfiend or supervisor, i wear formal ones.
Hello everyone, I enjoy wearing jeans or shorts, tennis shoes and polo t-shirts when I go around town to either meet up with friends or go to work. I think I can go almost anywhere in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, wearing them. In fact, I think the weather has great influence on what kind of clothing we choose to wear. What do you guys think? Best, Bruno Brazil
Hi, I agree with Randall that piece of clothing which should be the most comfortable are shoes. When they are too tight you can't feel good in anything you wear. Anyway, for me the most suitable are my own old trainers :)
Many people need to wear uniforms during work, such as nurses, factory workers, soldiers, etc. They have no choice. Actually speaking, I think that's good. Because you don't have to spend much time choosing clothes. Dressing for comfort or style, it doesn't matter!
I agree that many people wear uniforms everyday because of their jobs, and they have no choice. Just like me, I have to wear my Subway restaurant uniform five days a week. At the beginning I used to love my uniform, but I am getting tired of it; and when I am not at work I am at school and there I put on jeans and polo shirts, but I have a lot of beautiful dresses and skirts I would like to wear. But where can I do that if I spend all my time at school or at work? Mmmm. No, I don't even have a boyfriend or friends to go out, because I just to move to San Diego. But hopely I'll have friends in the future.
hello, everyone// i work at microorganism lab. As soon as i begin my work i have to wear blouse still end all my work of a day.in fact, i would rather wear a short jeans together a t-shirt and a pair sandals. with me, comfort is very important. thanks/
As long as we civilized, we must wear clothes and we're not animals. But in this era, people wear clothes to get attention from others for example the artists, superstars, entertain people. And maybe some people willing to be named for get attention from others for example let's take a look Lady Gaga, Rihanna.
well,in my opiniĆ³n it's depends on countries cultures and traditions and needs as well. For example in dominican republic must of the peoples like dress to get attention from others. That includes fashions and stiles clothes because that´s who we are and we don´t need for example wearing clothes to protect us from the cold and so on.
Where I live, Brazil, the most quantity of people wear clothes to get attention from others. I do not think if a person will like my visual when I go out, the only thing that I wanna is feeling comfortable. You can not conclude that a person can be judged by what he/she is wearing, it is only appearance! I think that the most important thing is the essence. If you analyze the essence, you can infer so many things about a person, and the most amount of people do not believe in it.
I like wearing casual at home and sometime wear casual when I go hangout with some friends and go to mall because I must wear my suit when I work so I really try to make myself comfort while I am not at office,
a liter or gallon of milk: 5.99 dollars. a loaf of bread: 5.99 dollars.: 1.76 dollars. a can of soda pop: 1.25 dollars. a McDonalds cheeseburger: 3.55 dollars. a liter or gallon of gas: 9.39 dollars.
Most of people i know wear something special to get attention ,They put pref-um wear nice clothes to attract anyone in the street, work and girls , they love boys care about himself
For attention, of course. I honestly believe that people wear stuff because it's the fashion, they wanna be ordinary like everyone. Then, it's for attention because they want to be in the same way who the most people like wearing. Besides, people think that's pretty, style says who you are, savvy?
I will certain that I will dress it for comfort in my normal social life as it is comfortable and relax,however sometimes on special occasions I must dress in style to impress people.
a liter or gallon of milk: 7.89 dollars. a loaf of bread: 14.00 dollars. a can of soda pop:6,00 dollars. a McDonalds cheeseburger: 26.34 dollars. a liter or gallon of gas: 0.009 dollars.

Hi everyone
ReplyDeleteI think the style is important but more important at the time of dressing is the comfort. I try to wear nice clothes but it must be comfortable too.
