    i would dress for myself but my cat will get hair over my outfit so the only time I can really dress is when I’m out of the house

      I dress for myself. And my own comfort does depend on things like social interactions and conversation dynamics and office relationships and others’ perception of me and my reputation. So dressing for myself includes dressing within social conventions.

    both my wife and I dress for ourselves. She used to do more for others but my lazyness has worn off on her. She effected me a bit to as she used a lot of cheap fashion and now I wear the pants equivalent of tshirts if im not wearing shorts and tshirt.

    If I’m going out, I change from cosy indoor clothing to tidier clothing so that I don’t look like I’m wandering around in public in my pyjamas, so I guess I’m fitting to a societal expectation, and thus dressing for other people in that regard.

    That said, I wouldn’t want to sully my indoor clothing with the outdoors anyway, and I don’t like going out as a rule, so I think I prefer to be dressed for myself.

    Myself, always. I’m one of those people who wears normal clothes just numbing around the house, rather than just underwear or pajamas or something. My fiance is practically a nudist and I’ll be sitting there in the couch with her on jeans and a tee shirt lol

    This may not be the most unbiased platform to ask this question on. I think the demographic here skews pretty heavily 30-35+ and male. That being said I pretty much just dress to be comfortable. Though I do put significant effort into otherwise making myself look nice.

    50/50, maybe?

    I like my ideal world where no one expects anything from anyone when it comes to clothes and appearance, but I also like to figure out my (very extra) outfit of the day from time to time

    Function over form every day all day. Duck others.
    I’ve been a jeans and T-shirt guy for well over 30 years at this point.

    I mean, doesn’t everyone sort-of dress for others?

    I mean, that’s why its illegal to go outside unclothed.

    For me, its mostly just to fit in, meet the legal and social requirements of being in public, and, well… for winter… since humans have no fur. So a bit of both, but as long as I meet minimum requirements its fine.

    Comfort > Looks

    I mean, I’m not a high ranking politician, who care how good I look.

    The only reason I put pants on is because it’s be arrested otherwise.

    That being said, comfortable has priority over good looking and I don’t think I’ve ever had a compliment on how I dress since grandma saw me in a suit when I graduated 20 something years ago.
