I had a question pop
into my head this morning when I was getting dressed that I could not figure
out the answer to. That question is if dressing in "sweats"
(sweatpants, sweatshirts, etc.) to go to class create judgement by those around
you? I understand there is always some form of judgement no matter what one
wears. The judgement that I am thinking about is more related to attractiveness
of the individual.
I can only justify a
judgment being made about the individual's willingness to put forth effort
based on how he or she is dressed. I wonder do those around you take that
effort level shown from one’s attire and apply that to their judgment of you
beyond what he or she's of you in class? For example, I sit next to Bob. He
notices that I wear sweats to class and makes a judgment of me being lazy. He
then justifies me as being lazy in other aspects of my life outside of what he
sees from our class together.
I also wonder if someone
judges another based on dressing up compared to his or her attire. I cannot
lie, I sometimes do this. I see someone wearing something that is reflective of
effort given attire (for me that is jeans and a flannel shirt) and judges that
individual accordingly. The reason for this question though it has anyone ever
judged someone who put worth effort in his or her attire in a negative way. So,
by putting forth effort in what the individual is wearing, he or she gets
judged negatively based on there being no need or warrant for going that extra
mile, or putting forth unneeded effort.
I know some of what I am
talking about is "random" but these are some of the many thoughts
that shoot through my mind on any given day.
Until Next Time,
Matt
