I think many are reading too much into this and think that some of us are the dress Nazis...
When in reality we just realize that our image as a group however loosely knit can make or break the message!
You might as well give it up! Most of The younger crowd (
Not necessarily anyone here)was taught
individuality comes from the way you dress/look (
They call it expressing yourself), How many tatoo's you have, the most obnoxious t-shirt, and whoever has the most holes in your face is the coolest. In reality all that is fine but really the first guy to do all that was the only Pioneer, the rest are
just Settlers (IMO).
What some weren't taught is speech, and behavior is still how you express your self in professional situations. I'm not saying that we all have to dress the same, or that we even have to show up in suits, but
Attire is a presentation of Attitude!
I recall pictures of my grandfather in suits, along with all other people/friends he worked with. At home though he whore bibs & a t-shirt. Because no matter if they all dressed the same at work, or church, or in court they all were different inside. They all drove different cars, ate different foods, drank different liquors, they didn't care what others thought, & they didn't have this look at me (
15 minutes of fame) mentality,
They all dressed differently at home. They
knew as most of us here
should know is that regardless of how free we are, or how more socially accepting we have become they're still are certain segments of our population that
judge you based on
appearance (Leo's, Judges, Bible Thumper's etc).
I'm not saying it's right, Just saying it exists. I have shown up for din-din in camo pants, with a Pabst t-shirt, and I don't see a problem with that, but when I showed at THways court appearance I showed in dress pants, and a nice Button up shirt. At
Cabela's I whore nice jeans, & a dark long sleeve t-shirt with a lighter colored short sleeve over it.
I'm just saying maybe a little attention to the attire, for the proper situation.
