Does a persons dress affect your impression of them?

[robbie]

I suppose I am wondering this especially with regards to politicians, entertainers etc.

It sounds incredibly shallow I suppose, but I know I judge people in the public eye based slightly upon their dress. I was just curious if anyone else did also.

Yes of course, first impression. However all my friends dress crap but they're still my friends. I find myself analyzing and critiquing everyone as I pass by them anywhere I'm at. Funny thing is you can immediately recognize sublte style like this guy I saw today, very apparent he cared but he didn't look calculated. Too bad more people aren't like that.

yea same here
I have a lot of friends who dress like crap but i look at how everyones dressed these days. And esp at girls, because I like girls who dress really well way more then girls who dont

To a degree. How would I ever get to know anyone if I based all of my impressions on the first.

I wish it didn't, but it does.

It's unfortunate, because external appearance has nothing to do with someone's true self. I mean some of the people I respect most in this world are horrible dressers.

i also find myself checking out girls asses a lot
but Idk if its to see if my guess of what jeans they were wearing is right or not or just to check em out

I disagree... I think your attitude to your outward appearance obviously comes from your "true self". That said just becuase people dress like slobs doesn't mean that they aren't worth talking to

Yes.

Yes, but more 'average' people than politicians/entertainers. I won't sigh and roll my eyes for the wrong kind of lapel, but people wearing tacky clothes/guys wearing jean shorts/people wearing ill-fitting ****/people carrying or wearing fake things makes me automatically judge them, yes.

At my Uni here in the UK, the grungiest dressers (Cobain), seem to be the most intelligent & get the best hotties...

If someone I meet is not "stylish" then I know style won't be a conversation topic with them ... but I won't think of them any less.

True, but I prefer girls who undress well even more.

Anyway who claims it doesn't is not in touch with their subconscious.

Just because grunge is heavily sprezzatura doesn't mean it isn't calculated and stylish. It's certainly a much stronger identity statement than bootcut American Eagles...

I hang out with gamers, comic book geeks, tattoo people, and musicians. If I put much weight on the "style" thing, I'd claw my own eyes out.
