Self Care is Self Respect. Obesity is glorified in the media instead of being called out for the slow death it really is. If you don't care about yourself you're not capable of caring about other people. Society in the US is falling into the sewer.

I started a job where everyone dressed sloppy. Instead of a joining this culture, I spent time and effort into each outfit. The results? Everyone stepped up their game. You influence the people you are around. For better or worse.

I sometimes that. In fact I have one friend who was pretty well dressed when I met her. She's gradually become more sloppy, & also wears clothes that are way too young for her & don't for properly.

As a doctor I remember having a seminar in psychotherapy, and the professor said - once the patient starts to have an improvement, you can often notice it by how they look. They start making their hair, doing manicure, choosing nice clothes etc. That has really stayed in my mind.

I'm literally a middle-aged woman, people still expect me to dress and sweatshirts and yoga pants outside of the gym? Even when casual, you can still be well put together, and clean.

Sometimes change has to start with one person. Even if no one else dresses properly, one can be the person who does dress with flair. As a nurse, I had to wear a uniform and specific work shoes, so whenever I had the chance, going out for dinner, to a dance, to Church, I dressed as for an occasion. So few people dress up, not even for dinner out these days, which is sad. As long as there are some who won't give in, we have hope.

I’m criticized sometimes for being overdressed at times. I personally think it’s important to look my best when I choose to leave my house, on the same note I don’t tell others how they should dress. I find most of my friends think like me.

I realized that another reason that people dress well is to be respectful of each other and of where they are. So, I have decided to start dressing well, but I'm struggling.

I love dresses too they are so comfortable! I dislike pants because they hurt!! They tug on my abdomen, dig into my crotch, hurt, are just miserable in general. When I wear dresses I look beautiful, they fit my hourglass shape better, technically it is healthier to allow the lady bits more breathing, and I am more comfortable (I am petite with a small waist but have big hips and a round bum and pants are not made for this shape). Dresses are a win-win! In winter I wear thigh highs instead of tights as again they are more comfortable and allow crotch ventilation. There are all sorts of thigh highs like sweater knit ones for when it is super cold, and taller boots too when it is super cold. I find a layered dress with boots and nice thigh highs that are thicker knit is much warmer than tight yoga pants or jeans.

Dear Anna, it is not about comfort, in fact it is simply about mass production. For centuries, and still in many non-western countries, people went to taylors to have their clothes customized and unique. But now we have big corporations that want to make huge profits by selling standard sizes and designs to the biggest number of people possible, so that they can make the most profit. So their keywords are cheap, uniform, standard. Then they sell it to us as “comfort”, “modern”, etc, (as marketing) and we believe it, when in fact it just means dull and uncreative, a fixed standard to appeal to the most number of people possible (the average customer, aka the average person in a mass society). Also I think that we have lost the value of beauty as a society.

I am French and even in France we lost our fashion culture. It's just influenced by Instragram and what the "Luxury items" say. It gets weirder every days because they want to be original. Uglier you are and more fashioned you are !!! People wear comfy clothes thinking that it is more confortable than nice and old clothes, but they are wrong. "babies" "mocassin" "boots" "espadrille" etc are very confortable if it's a good brand and there are less expensive than Basket and timeless. The best is to dress timeless and like a women who respect herself. Having a big sweatshirt doesn't show respect to other. And you feel so much confident when you are dressed like a lady.

We need this video. I live in the Rocky Mountains and yes dress is casual but there's a huge difference between casual and sloppy. I see women who make no effort to look cute or feminine, have the same long stringy hair, no make up and I wonder what happened?

I was just talking with my husband about this. I grew up in the 70s/80s. When we would attend a Christmas concert or party, everyone dressed up. It was a real treat for me when my Mum would buy me a new Christmas corsage. (I don't remember the last time I saw one!) This year, my husband bought us tickets for a Christmas concert in a beautiful church and we dressed up. Almost everyone was in jeans. Sigh. Eta: When I say "corsage" I mean a small posy, or flowers worn on a lapel. I know there are other meanings.

Basically anything that fits right that isn't made of garbage fabric is going to be comfortable. I don't like to condemn more casual clothing as "lazy," but I feel like not shopping around to find a few brands that truly fit you well is incredibly lazy. If you can't find a brand or two where everything fits like it was made for you, you haven't looked hard enough. Spend a day going to every store within your price range and just try stuff on. I used to buy jeans from a store that I would *never* buy anything else from, but their jeans were good quality and fit me perfectly. I wouldn't have known that if I hadn't made the effort to go out and try on a million fits from a ton of different stores. I wore that same fit for at least five years. It saves a ton of time in the long run, and it's better than just wearing leggings because the pants at Target don't fit you well, so you just give up. That's lazy and sad.

Ask your boss why you have to conform to the masses and ask if he is anti-self-expression. (You are expressing YOU! You should be FREE to express you!).

If someone asks WHY you don't wear jeans, you can always reply that you don't like clichés (!).

once a woman told me: "it's easier to like yourself if you make yourself likeable", and I followed her advice, start by looking after your appearance, so when you look in the mirror you can feel good about what you see. I don't look after myself because I want people's approval, I do it because I want to feel proud of myself, so eating healthy, going to the gym, dressing in clothes I like, all that helps with self-esteem.

Simple. Bad influences, bad trends, a type of degeneracy in our culture.

I believe it's fast fashion. Clothes are manufactured so fast and to standard sizes. Whereas, clothes used to be tailored, or sewn at home, where people could actually fit them properly. Standardizes sizes are uncomfortable. Tailored clothes fit like a glove. I believe people just want to wear comfortable clothing again, so elastic and sweatpants do it well.

One reason for casual dressing that I think was overlooked is that in general our population is much larger than previous generations. My weight has fluctuated in my life and I find it much more difficult to dress well when I’m carrying extra weight. We’re a physically unhealthy society and it shows so bad. 😢

Even Walmart has good looking plus size women’s clothes (that look better than average size) I think we (especially women) tell ourselves we can’t wear this or that. That doesn’t mean to go out and wear a crop top everywhere (no one should lol) but wearing a dress or blouse or blouse looks nice on everyone.

As a therapist, when people feel better and depression is lifting, their appearance improves. It has a lot to do with respect for yourself and others. I grew up wearing dresses and hats. I'm not saying we need to go back to that era but I think it has a lot to do with how you care about yourself and others. I LOVE my jean leggings, they don't look like work out pants, and they are not real tight, but I always wear a nice top and makeup when going out with other people. I've seen more and more people actually wearing pajamas out, and I absolutely hate to go to a wedding and see people in jeans. C'mon!!

Some people don't care how they look. Some do not want to take the time and effort to dress proper. The word lazy comes to mind. People can be seen wearing flip flops and pajamas to shop. I've seen people doing this in 8 degree weather. No coat or jacket to keep them warm, and yet they have a phone in their hand that they look at constantly. It's the new world we live in.

I agree. I have seen this at weddings and funerals. I've seen people wear shorts to funerals. At my father in-laws funeral I was dressed nicely, , tidy, all in black and my husbands grandfather said to me "I think you and I are the only ones dressed up today". We laughed. He wore a beautiful suit that day. 6 months later he passed away and I wore the same outfit again and I knew he'd be happy I'd made the effort. ❤

I couldn't agree with you more, Anna! I work in a law office that has pretty much dispensed with a dress code as we don't have clients coming into the office. As a result, everyone wears jeans most of the time and some of the attorneys even wear shorts in summertime. Everyone, that is, except me. I like to look professional when I am in the office and I do this by wearing dresses, tailored pants, and nice jewelry. The only day I dress down is on Friday as a concession to the relaxed office attire. I feel better about myself when I look nice, and think it conveys an aura of professionalism.

You are spot on. As someone who dresses casual, I am doing so because, I admit, I have been in a lazy slump. I have been telling myself that I need to step it up. Like you said, when we step it up, we feel better. I completely agree. This was just in time for the new year!! Thank you :)

I couldn't agree more! One thing I would like to add: dressing well, or at least dressing appropriately for the occasion (work, gym, church, whatever) is not only "self-care," but it's also a sign of respect and good manners for the people around you. If I wore a ballgown to a spin class at the gym, everyone would be distracted from their workouts. If I wore something revealing to church or a solemn place like a cemetery, people would be distracted from their serious contemplations. If I wore pajamas to work and everyone else was wearing business casual, that would show them that I don't take their time/space/efforts as seriously as they do. It's about respect: I respect people, even strangers, and as such, I won't wear things that are revealing or that show I'm inconsiderate of what the day may hold.

If we have multiple generations dressing like slobs - and we agree that we do - a certain percentage of those people are going to be leaders in companies, with others in HR positions vetting new employee candidates and hiring. So I guess all these slobs will be hiring fellow slobs? All will be covered in nasty tattoos? I know this sounds really cynical, but I don't see how the pendulum can swing back toward any discernable level of elegance when you've got multiple generations lacking the level of self-awareness we're lamenting in this forum.

Anna, I admire your journey and completely support you 1000% in this opinion. It is literally depressing to see what little care Americans in particular put into their appearance. I fight it by dressing well at all times. And, surprise, people notice! Also, you're too polite to say it, but the "comfort" level in dress has risen in direct correlation to the increase in the weight of the average American.

Last year I finally accepted that trying to dress like everyone else brought with it unbearable feelings of insecurity, self-loathing and alienation. It just eats away at your self esteem until there's nothing left. But breaking out of this felt impossible. So I set myself a little challenge in the summer, when it was the easiest to do, to see how long it was possible to go with only dresses and cardigans in your closet. A week? A month?. Still don't know the answer, but it's at least six months at time of writing. It feels like the ultimate life hack: you just throw on a dress and you look well put together every time. But it's more than that for me. No more struggling to find clothes that actually fit and cover me properly, so no more insecurity, no more discomfort. Comfortable physically AND psychologically. But the catch is that you need to be able to deal with the way our society regards femininity 🙃My way has been to take a mischievous joy and pride in finding something *truly* rebellious to do: carving your own unique path through life without fear or apology. Starting to think the answer to 'how long can you go?' is just 'as long as you want'.

My husband actually brought it to my attention that I was entering a depressive slump and he could tell because I had stopped paying attention to my appearance.

Personally, I see nothing wrong with it as long as the clothes and person wearing them are clean. And there are some occassions that call for specific wear. And I know some people get more in tune with their goals and self perception if they dress accordingly. BUT. I still believe function and comfort greatly outweigh style. Not everyone agrees but the way I see it, we have one life and there's no point in feeling uncomfortable. And if you have qualities (intelligence, naturally good looks, good personality, sense of humor, or anything else you value) they will be visible regardless of clothes. I'm not a fan of strict gender norms and roles, but even natural feminity and masculinity won't be negated by styling. To me it seems like, if anything, many compensate for it. With clothes, makeup, plastic surgeries, performative actions and manners, talking points. I don't see the appeal. And many accomplished people I knew dressed "sloppy", very simply and not fashionably. The direct opposite to that would be someone dressed in cheaply made classic or trendy looking clothes or going in debt for expensive brands lately discovered by commoners who want to feel like it will make it so they won't stay in the lower ranks forever. That they'll "network" or marry rich. All while working a job that never needed to hire as many people as it had hired. Depressing. I'm not the target audience but I felt the need to share my few cents. Maybe someone will relate to it.

I don't judge others for not dressing up since I like to dress up and don't appreciate when people judge me for that. If people are comfortable dressing sloppy then by all means they should continue doing it. Judgmental attitudes lead to ignorance and reduce intellect levels which seems counterintuitive to anything one would want.

My mom always taught me to look decent when going out, even if just to run errands. She would not tolerate me wanting to wear pajamas to school which was the trend at the time. I am so glad she instilled this level of self-awareness in me!

There are so many pretty clothes and accessories nowadays that everyone can find something for themselves.

And elegant clothes can be comfortable too, one just have to find the right ones. I love my coats, my trousers and shirts, my dresses, my pumps and heels, my handbags, my jewelery etc. ❤

There is a very clear reason for this trend...obesity... tailored clothes are very difficult to find/purchase in large sizes, as well as wear, while not looking like a sausage 😬

I agree. In college, the only reason I wore sweatpants to one of my classes is that the gym was much closer to the classroom than to my room. As a fitness-obsessed student, I went to the gym before class to get it out of the way (no time to change or shower-waited until I made it to my room) and then straight to class. I felt embarrassed about my sweatpants. Now I don’t own a pair of sweatpants, and I always shower and make myself look presentable after working out, even if I am just going to the grocery store or post office. Besides, I never know whom I will run into.

Completely agree, I've had a similar experience. I went to the store to buy milk once in the middle of the night and decided to just keep my pajama pants on. Because it was so late I only saw one person, the cashier, and I still felt so embarrassed I never did it again. When I see people in public in pajamas in broad daylight I can't figure out what is going through their heads, it seems like you really have to not care about anything at all to not be embarrassed doing that. Some might say they just don't care what others think, but also it has to be that they don't care what they themselves think either since being sloppy and dirty are usually signs that something is not going right in a person's life. I think our society is very troubled overall.

My partner and I often discuss this. He's 46 and loves to dress! I appreciate it because we go well together. It's sad to see a woman who put forth the effort and her partner is a slob. Or vice versa. I don't mind people dressing casually in their daily lives but I feel like they're missing out on how fun dressing can be when you're going out. Instead of wearing shorts and a ball cap to dinner why not dress up? For me it enhances the experience. Elevated dressing also makes your life and day to day that more special. We are alive! Let's celebrate that! Show up for ourselves and respect each other.

Same! I love being nicely dressed even when I’m home alone. When people comment on how formal I am I explain to them that I’m a fashion designer. I just find it odd that I have to explain to people why I don’t like being super casual.

I completely agree, I feel overdressed most of the time, when I am actually not, mostly just very nice casual, which looks dressy! Today. To me the biggest reason why it happened is most people can't even wear well tailored clothes because the majority of our society doesn't look good, at the very minimum they are very chubby, sometimes simply obese. Another reason is that society is lacking in norms, etiquette, anything goes under the self-expression title. BTW, about the lack of resources: a few years ago I visited Japan, women there are always well put together, regardless of income. If a person has money ,of course it's going to be better quality , look very chic. Not everyone has a lot of resources in Japan as well, however you can see that even women without much money dress in a way that is flattering, put together

I recall inviting a friend to have afternoon tea at Claridges. I was really looking forward to it and wore a lovely dress, did my hair and make up. To my surprise, she came along dressed in a baggy sweater and baggy trousers, she didn't make any effort at all. It wasn't the best experience. I was surprised that she was allowed to go in.

"It's better to be overdressed than underdressed." I grew up in a family of women who held this philosophy. Thanks to them (especially my very fashionable grandma) I know how good it feels to put on clothes that are figure flattering, fun to move in and beautiful to accessorize. I love going out where people are dressed up; it's exciting to see. I don't think of it as vain or selfish to want to look good. My mom (a retired teacher) pushed back against this casual trend in her profession. She often complained about other teachers wearing sweats and jeans to school. When I (as a rebellious teen) argued that EVERYONE dresses like that, she replied, "You should be able to tell the difference between the teachers and the students." She also said, "We don't wear make-up for ourselves, we wear it for the people who have to look at us." "Leggings aren't pants." "Yoga clothes are for the yoga mat." "When in doubt, cover it up." All good advice.

I dress sloppy because I'm overweight and I don't want to be noticed or stand out. I also wear looser fitting clothes for the same reason and overall comfortability. That being said I think I would still dress pretty casually if I were more comfortable in my body although I'd probably dress up more often when I felt like it. I just never feel like it at this point. Whenever I try to dress up I'm just disappointed by how I look because it's not how I want to present myself or be perceived.

You can always wear some casual wear such as a t-shirt and turtleneck. But you can go for a polyester Black turtleneck, and some brown cardigan slacks. It is not being overdressed. But it is called being prideful and prepared. It’s not boastful to put enough effort into your own appearance. And the good News is that you do not have to A FASHIONABLE EXPERT. You don’t have to be a expert at trying to dress up and looking like some film noir crime thriller from the 1940s and 1950s. C’mon, it cannot be that bad. :(. How to put together a public casual outfit: if you’re going to coffeehouses, restaurants, public parks, and festivals Step 1: Purchase a Black Turtleneck (you can find any type of turtleneck at your local retail), it can be polyester, cotton, or wool. Find the Black Turtleneck in your size that can accommodate and compliment your body type. Then BOOM! You found the perfect turtleneck. I’m sure everyone rocks turtlenecks. Even my Mom in the late 1990s use to wear this red turtleneck and some blue jeans. It was so fashionable at the time due to the widespread influence and popularity of turtlenecks with blue jeans from shoes like Friends, Beverly Hills 70210810, Sabrina The Teenage Witch, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Moesha, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Martin, Sister, Sister, Dawson’s Creek, and Clueless. Step 2: Use the Internet to find some inspiration, you can go to these links and websites. It’d be probably useful in terms of finding what is your taste, aesthetic, and overall niche interests. You can use Pinterest, KZread, and Instagram for outfit ideas. Just type in the search bar #90sfashionoutfits #90sclothes #thriftingstores #outfitinspo hashtag. Step 3. If you can afford secondhand clothing you can go thrifting if you’d like, it’s optional not that mandatory. It depends on whether your personal style and taste is. We all have different preferences, styles, and tastes. And that’s okay ! :) Everyone just needs to find the correct thing that is best and right for them. We are all unique and have different tastes. That’s what makes us all special. 🩷💞💗💖

I completely agree with you. I've been thinking the same thing as I look at old family photos from the 1930s and 1940s. People didn't have much money, but everyone dressed so well.

Absolutely, Anna! My grandmother was a farm wife who worked hard every day, cooked delicious meals for her family, kept the farmhouse looking better than a lot of homes in town, and still made keeping herself neat (as well as healthy) a priority! She always looked elegant and appropriately dressed whenever she went out, and taught her daughters and granddaughters to do the same. I was recently at a family gathering and was admiring one of my cousin's elegant outfits, and it made us start reminiscing! Grandma had self-respect, and it showed. As a result, so did her daughters and granddaughters!

I don’t mind what people wear getting groceries (as long as it’s not just pajamas) but what bothers me most is when you go out to a nice restaurant and dress for the occasion and everyone else looks like they should be at the gym. It brings down the vibe.

I get your point. However, imo the perception of fashion has changed not only because ppl are not criticized by elders how it was before (remember how women were dragged wearing pants? Oh “good old days”), but because ppl now mostly either don’t have a lot of time to make a lot of outfits simply because they’re overworked or they’re also can be exhausted. I remember when I was in school I was into planning outfits. Now when I work? When you got up at 5-6 am and go to sleep at early morning, all you want it to sleep. Plus just being honest, who cares? Yeah, I agree that it’s not good to look like a bum, but you also don’t need to look like you go to the Oscar show everyday 😂 Balance is the key ❤

Hi, I am a Spanish man (from Spain, Europe). You probably didn’t expect me commenting in your video, but the algorithm works in mysterious ways. I work in IT in an European Nordic company and the dress code is beyond sloppy, there are individuals that literally come dressed with a pyjamas, and stink as if they had no shower. I like to dress up myself as it is something I’ve grown with in my family. I was taught to dress comfortable but clean and appropriate for several situations: doctor, travel, work, etc .. but if I come to office with just a dress shirt and my nice dress shoes made in Spain the comments range from “you look like the finance controller” or “are you planning to become the CEO”. It is truly depressing that I’m literally forced to dress like a 12 years old when in reality I would dress like a grown up man. That is the reason I am not coming back to office, I hate fitting into their pyjamas world. Same goes with women, it is really difficult to picture myself dating a woman who, repeatedly, wears leggings and sneakers, I find them totally off. And before you judge me, I am not advocating for high heels, which I understand they can be very hurting and uncomfortable. But I find women in athleisure very unattractive. Even my current partner says that formal attire makes me look very “strict” and she prefers me in sneakers and sweat shirt. And all I do to look “strict” is to wear an Italian sports jacket on top of a T-shirt 😢. I think I will break up with her. Your rant matches 100% my mother’s rant about today’s “pig” trend, as she says repeatedly. And you know what?, you both are right and you can say it LOUD and proud. I root for you Miss.

A well dressed, well groomed & hygienic man will always get my attention. Stay true to who you are! 😊 And...who the hell wears PJs to work? What is wrong with this world?

​@Mokes888 Atheltic wear is amazing for running errands in etc. I agree it's tacky in the workplace but it definitely has it's place in this fast paced modern age. Nothing wrong with a drifit tee and some sleek black leggings for a busy day.

this is depressing mister. pig trend is shit indeed

I have often questioned whether I was the only person who noticed this trend. I miss the days of elegant feminine attire. What a breath of fresh air to find that that I am not alone.

People who dress more classy automatically project that they have more self-respect than those who wear whatever.
