I’ve noticed a trend, and I’m honestly curious about why it persists. It truly seems like many men struggle to adapt to dress codes, even simple ones like “business casual.” You’ll see situations where everyone else gets the memo about a semi-formal event and then there’s, like, *that* guy in cargo shorts and a graphic tee.
Is it a matter of not caring, a lack of awareness, or something else entirely? I wonder if there is a societal factor involved. Women seem to be socialized to think about clothing and presentation from a much younger age, potentially giving them a head start. It might also be that men’s clothing options are sometimes perceived as less diverse, leading to a feeling of being stuck with a limited wardrobe, although I think that’s changing now. What are your thoughts?
it’s not about judging individuals,but more wanting to understand the perceived disconnect. Do men feel less judged by their clothing choices, or is it simply that the rules are less explicitly communicated?
