Leisurewear: things like sweat pants, track suits, pajama pants, leggings. Out and about: anywhere you're not immediately and obviously coming to/going from working out, or in the case of pajama pants, literally anywhere at all outside of your home.
It all is so declasse and even trashy. No we don't dress as formally as they did in the 1950s, but being the tip of the spear of plunging standards by wearing Tweety Bird flannel pants grocery shopping or skin tight leggings out to dinner makes you uniquely classless.
If your behavior is driving the eradication of standards, yeah, your choices are bad.
Have some respect for yourself and others and throw on actual pants at least, even if you still must wear a hoodie with them. A collared shirt would be a bonus, but again, pants are the bare minimum here to seem respectable.
It's ironic, because even wealthy people are doing it, especially leggings everywhere. But that's the era we live in, where the wealthiest among us are often the most culturally vapid as well.
The fact that it bothers you what other people are wearing is not indicative of how you feel about other people. It tells me feel about yourself. Other people are confident enough to wear what makes them comfortable, and it seems you are more worried about what other people think.
If your behavior is driving the eradication of standards, yeah, your choices are bad.
This has Tips fedora vibes.
Your version of how others should dress and how you judge them for their wardrobe shows me that the class you think you exude come from insecurity, not confidence.
No actually, it's the reverse. Pretending that all aesthetic choices are equally good and signaling is always through pure thought and not behavior choices, is where insecurity lies. People who have thoughts and opinions are not afraid to have other people have reciprocal thoughts and opinions.
The tips fedora thing is 10-15 years out of date and also weirdly inapplicable since nobody ever thought neckbeards had good style or, more generally, signaled respect for themselves or others.
So, you are saying that you dress what you deem as nicely BECAUSE you don't care what other people think of you?
Pretending that all aesthetic choices are equally good and signaling
Pretending to know what clothes are considered "good" is pretentious and vain. Other people's clothes don't affect you. Unless you judge other people based on their clothes to feel better about your insecurities, that is.
this is so elitist with your judgmental attitude but let me tell you something what would really be classy is if everyone wore three piece suits and victorian era dresses all the time i mean can you imagine it people walking down the street in top hats and tails and corsets and bustles it would be amazing and it would show some real respect for ourselves and for others and for our country and our culture and our heritage and it wouldnt just be for special occasions either it would be for every day life even when youre just lounging around the house or taking a shower i mean why not wear a three piece suit in the shower it would be a great way to show some dignity and respect for yourself and for others and it would be a real statement against the casualization of america and the erosion of our values and standards and it would be a great way to stick it to the elites who think theyre above everyone else with their fancy clothes and their pretentious attitudes so lets all start wearing three piece suits and victorian era dresses all the time and show some real class and respect for ourselves and for others and full disclosure this is my kink but i still think its an objectively good idea
