How do people react to your outfits?

Depends. Most of my friends comment on how stylish I am and how good certain items of clothing look on me, including the straight men. I've even had a few friends ask me to help style an outfit or two for them.

However, occasionally people think I'm gay because of some dumb shit. One guy said he thought I was gay for wearing a pink shirt. I grew up in the sticks, and some high school friends made fun of my "skinny jeans" (athletic cut jeans on my fairly strong legs).

One that actually managed to make me a little mad was when I wore a pair of heather gray slacks, a white button down, a pair of square toe dress shoes, and my favorite black tie to work. When I got off and walked across the yard to my apartment, my neighbor's friend shouted "LOVE THE OUTFIT DUDE, WHAT IS IT, PASSOVER?" So it kinda varies.

I do get comments from family and colleagues. Some are compliments, some are teasing me for being the most smartly dressed in the office, others are defending me from being teased.

I occasionally get stopped in the street by people telling me I look good. I'm sure not all of them are being sarcastic. I've had sex with at least one woman (a 19 y/o goth girl) who I met solely through her commenting on how I was 'spectacularly well dressed' and 'smelled amazing'.

Some comments I've had over the last few years:
>Spectacularly well dressed
>Looking very dapper today
>You're putting us all to shame
>Old fashioned (in a good way)
>Old fashioned (in a bad way)
>Impeccably dressed
>Are you going to a wedding?
>Have you got a job interview?
>What are you in court for?
>You look really nice?
>Like something a grandpa would wear
>Like an evil vicar
>Like an autistic Bond villain.
>Really good. Like, REALLY good
>etc.
>etc.

They don't, but several months later they casually mention how I always dress really well. Sometimes people compliment a new piece of clothing I've bought, but it's never the clothes you expect. I bought some totally generic cotton trousers from Uniqlo 'cause I was paranoid I wouldn't have anything cool to wear in the summer heat wave (I was extremely correct) and got compliments from complete strangers for a week or two afterwards.
>>17898927
I have got "I'd never normally ask a guy about this but you're different" when my friends want style advice (I'm only friends with women IRL). Also, everyone thinks I'm at least a bit fruity. I do like guys as well as girls, but damn.

26 year old here, pretty much the same for me. Although I noticed that the negative reactions mostly come from boomers (who are dressed like complete shit) or from blue haired thots.

Also I get lot of positive attention from girls around my age, which doesn't matter since I'm in a relationship anyway. Funnily she doesn't give a shit at all on how I dress since we met before I started dressing well.

Dang ol' outfits, man. I tell you what, they're a real conversation starter.

Y'see, I ain't no fancy-pants fashionista, but I know how to express myself through my dang ol' clothes. And let me tell you, people notice.

Some folks, they just stare. They don't know what to make of my dang ol' outfits. But others, they come up to me and tell me they like my style. They say it's unique, it's eye-catching, it's Boomhauer.

And I tell you what, man, that makes me feel good. It makes me feel like I'm somethin' special, you know? Like I'm not just another dang ol' face in the crowd.

So don't you go worryin' 'bout how people react to your outfits, man. Just be yourself, and let your dang ol' personality shine through. And if people don't like it, well, then that's their dang ol' problem.

Dang ol' people, man. They can be so judgemental. But don't you let 'em get you down. Just keep on bein' you, man, and you'll be just fine.

My favorite reaction to my outfits, one I will never forget, was that my then-new manager told me on my second week that he bought an entire new wardrobe. Because of how I dressed. I felt so apologetic at the time, I would never want to pressure anyone into buying stuff. Since then I just laugh about it, it was such and over-the-top reaction.
I don't even dress that well, it was mostly just Uniqlo, H&M stuff, with some decently tailored jackets and good shoes. He's copying my style to this day. Our build is very different, so the rest isn't so striking. But he bought the same glasses I had, so that looks odd if we stand next to each other. At one point I will ask him to pay for styling advice or something.

Sure thing. Contrary to her comments, it was actually a pretty unspectacular outfit. Chinos, blue chambray shirt, brown check blazer, pocket square, dress watch. Fairly standard trad daddy stuff. The scent she liked so much was Tom Ford Beau de Jour.

This is true here in the UK too. The standards of public dress are so bad that putting even a small amount of effort into dressing well can make you stand out.

When I say ‘bad’ I don’t mean casual. There are plenty of ways to make great casual outfits, and people don’t do that either. I mean ugly, low quality clothes, put together without any thought, in the most boring and unstylish combinations imaginable. They don’t seem to think in terms of an outfit at all, just about putting on enough clothes to cover their bodies.

Even putting a small amount of thought and effort into your entire outfit elevates you way beyond people around you, and you definitely get noticed.

Depends. Most of the time people don't comment on it or show obvious reactions. Occasionally someone tells me I'm dressed well. Usually girls like coworkers or dates.

This. I turn heads and cause people to do double takes but that might also just be my body. Or my weird behavior.
There is indirect things like asking where I shop, what second hand stores I recommend and people asking me if I'm okay when I don't put effort into how I look.
Direct stuff is friends and coworkers noticing when I have bought something new, women asking for my number (might also be my height) and friends asking for my opinion about their party outfits or costumes. I also got compliments from complete strangers for times.
And my GF says my sense of style in general and how I dress in particular was partly why she fell in love with me.

This is so surreal. Seeing some autistic larpers but in some South American shithole. It looks like poverty maxxing Africa, in which everyone is the lowest IQ around and they are dressed in rags that were donated to them.

I can't even tell if people are mocking or impressed. It looks like a sure way to get yourself mugged though and killed.

When you think about it, self reflection on how you look and dress takes a little brain power. The most stupid places are full of actual clones, and ones who look like shit. Even health wise they look out of shape, poor health, bodies, clothing, and brains.

What a horrendous place.

This. They always say things like “Oh well not everyone can afford £60 for a shirt” as if that means you shouldn’t get one or that you’re making a bad recommendation. I hate it when they try to direct you to other shops where things are less expensive and/or try to get you to compromise on quality. E.g. saying “but everything has synthetics in it these days.”
Potatoes are 70p a bag. Lard is around 50p a block. A pack of minute steaks is about £5. There is very little actual poverty. People are just decadent and like to cope by pretending to advocate in favour of a spartan lifestyle. Clothes can be used to indicate this so people dress like shit to virtue signal. As a sperg I despise this social game. It’s funny because all the people who complain about the cold are always the ones wearing almost no layers and only buying cheap clothes whilst I am comfy in my £60 shirts and jumpers (which as /fa/ will know, are not even that expensive).
