    Seems like a guide from someone that wants to sell 20 shirts, 12 pairs of pants, 8 pairs of shoes and 6 blazers.

    As long as isn’t full of tear holes, wear whatever the fuck you want.

      I mean you don’t need to buy at every level, and a lot of it is shared, e.g. the smart casual and business casual blazers can be the same one

        it’s not the guide that’s bullshit, it’s the fact that distinct categories like “smart casual” (wtf is “smart” any kind of clothes anyway?) and “business casual” even exist. i sincerely hope i never get to the point that i can tell them apart. we need to push for LESS superficial bullshit culture, not the other way around

          Smart is a British term for looking sharply dressed, etc. Like “Oi, Lad, don’t you look smart with the new 'aircut”

            ok. this still doesn’t explain how “sharply dressed” casual is different from “business” casual. don’t tell me–i don’t care

      i’m usually in nothing more than shorts 98% of the time, so i had the same thought. lol

      i’m aware that people do judge you based on your appearance; but unless you’re the fit model shown in the image, it’s not going to help much (also difficult to find the right size/fit) and nearly 50% of the american populate is obese and 75% are fat.

      In fairness a lot of people have office jobs with the possibility to be let go if they don’t meet dress code

        We should really push against that, I think; “I came here to write code and make money for both of us, not to spend said money playing dress up”

        This is especially annoying when you’re not even meeting any clients ever

    Nice! Now tell me what should I wear in 30°C, sunny weather.

    It’s going to be a completely different outfit, right?

      ikr. No fursuits, no bondage wear, no cosplays. I suspect this is a guide for normies.

      Each one is a slight upgrade in formality of the previous one, so yes there is a lot of near-overlap

    This guide has a way different definition of casual as mine. Casual to me is round/V neck shirt, shorts/jeans/joggers, and sneakers.

      Same. If somebody avoids me because I’m wearing jeans and a t-shirt, I’d find them completely intolerable anyway.

    People used to look way better back in the day.

    Now no one has any self respect and just wears PJs to the store.

      it’s not a lack of self respect. it’s a lack of give a fuck what you think about my clothes. if anything, that’s more self respect than trying to live up to someone everyone else’s “fashion” expectations, regardless of how I want to express myself. and what have you done to warrant me being obliged to wear what you think i should wear to the store?

      “iTs SoCiEtAl NoRmS!”

      indeed it was

        We all live in this world and we should take consideration for others. People obviously exclusively care about themselves and it seems people want to show of how much they are the centre of the world by actively showing off to everyone how little they care. Contradictory I know.

        No one wants to see you in private clothes, no one wants to see “Juicy” written on your arse, no one want to see your gut hanging out, no one wants to see your huge cleavage going to your bellybutton, no one wants to see your arsecrack.

        People now almost take it as a sense of pride that they can look as shitty as possibly just to show off. Yea great, you look a state congratulation.

          We all live in this world and we should take consideration for others.

          this i agree with.

          but then you take the liberty of speaking for the entire world:

          No one wants to see you in private clothes, no one wants to see “Juicy” written on your arse, no one want to see your gut hanging out, no one wants to see your huge cleavage going to your bellybutton, no one wants to see your arsecrack.

          you are speaking as if your opinions are/should be EVERYONE’S opinion, which you’re free to believe, but it’s a dumb opinion that i shit on. more information . see also: “nO oNe ShOuLd HaVe TaTtOos!!” “nO oNe ShOuLd BrEaStFeEd In PuBlIC” etc.

          i’m not telling you what to think. i’m saying you’re in for a miserable life if this is really what you think. and i have zero sympathy. and i can tell you 2 things: 1) i have plenty of self respect, and 2) i can’t think of anything i give less of a fuck about than having YOUR respect

              you’re right, i admit: i would like everyone to care less about clothes and other superficial crap, and argue about it online. usually when i’m drunk, which i am.

              sober me knows this is a battle of snowballs vs fireballs, but fuck it. it’ll make me smile, thinking of you getting red in the face mad every time you go to 7eleven and see an asscrack emerging from pajama pants

          Depends on context. If I’m interviewing for an office job that’s one thing, if I’m running to the convenience store at night that’s another.

      Self respect doesn’t make you dress uncomfortably to grab milk, it’s respect for others. People now a’ days just realize we don’t need to be so formal to still treat each other with respect.

      Though honestly, I see plenty of people misbehaving/behaving rudely in public, maybe we should go back to collared shirts? If that keeps people from yelling at cashiers?
