Just classism
This is applied selectively based on zip code, you'll notice
This. If Chrissy Teigen went out for groceries in luxury sweats, she'd be #iconic
It's that "You have the wrong attitude that's why you're poor" thing.
"Clean your room"
I would hate to live in a world wherein the choice is pajamas or suit and nothing in between
Thank God I can throw on a pair of jeans in this world
I will say, cleaning my room makes me feel much more in control and less overwhelmed by my environment. As someone who spends a lot of time in this room, especially with covid, keeping a basic amount of order among my minimal possessions is helpful. Simple stuff like not leaving dirty clothes on the floor and folding my laundry before I go to sleep gives me a level of clarity. Another way of putting it is that my room gets messy when I already feel like shit, and the longer I let it stay that way the worse it gets/makes me feel.
Oh yeah without a doubt. The only real "economic hack" is that if I feel like shit I just lay in bed eating chips all day and don't get anything done.
My guess is looking "professional" is a display of readiness/need-to-work, thus looking "unprofessional" signals an unreadiness-to-work.
Also just straight up classism, yeahThis is why I purposefully wear shit clothing to any store I have to go to. I hate this informal bourgeois dress code and do my best to look as shit as possible to get what little freedom I have in my life.
I'm either in shirt and tie for events I like or anime t-shirt and cargo shorts, because I do not care for anything in-between. fashion or function.
i legit just wear shirts that are like 15 years old and have holes in them and sweatpants most the time
if im doing something cool i wear fun dresses, which btw are also super lazy but no one talks about that
It's funny because people who will get mad about me wearing sweatpants to the store are the exact same people I want to make mad!
internalized classism. I used to be on this dumb shit 10 years ago now i'm a believer. Sweatpants for ever. Seriously almost never wear jeans unless I absolutely have to these days lol
I have to wear my tight half ruined patch pants, partially dry rotted studded vest and falling apart motorcycle boots day in day out because I may be poor as hell but care DEEPLY about looking cool.
Crust punk but close enough. I will look like a Mad Max character until I die.
yessss. thrash doom and stoner here but i don't know a better way to describe my style.
I only wear sweats and gym shorts. Slacks lower sperm count, it's proven science.
But yeah classism and I'd say protestant work ethic shit. If you're in sweatpants or PJs then it implies that you aren't on your way to or from making money for a capitalist.
I avoid it because the store is a dirty area and those are comfy clean at home clothes. But no judgment.
I'm wearing pajamas to the grocery store right now
No one can stop mepajama pants are comfy and I refuse to wear otherwise if I don't have to
