How many of you always try to look/dress nice even when doing mundane things in public (ex grocery)?

I don't try to dress nice, but I actively try to not dress shitty.

This.

I do this. I enjoy it for me rather than to impress those or reach some type of strange gratification.

I enjoy fashion and looking nice when I’m out. I even put effort to what I wear to the gym.

I respect this!

I dress down for Walmart but dress up for Target!

I would much rather look good. You never know who you might see or what might happen.

I found an office job that pays really well that has a very relaxed dress code.

I almost never dress “nice” like slacks and ties and stuff.

I want to be cremated when I go. just in case some well meaning idiot tries to dress me in a suit. 🤣

I actively go out looking shitty as possible

Started doing it during the pandemic, now I don't get asked for money 30 times a day.

I always put in at least a little effort. Even if I'm just answering the door.

I try to always look presentable. I have a ton of graphic t shirts and I try to put a decent fit together whenever I leave the house. I dress nicer than I have to at work. It's really just taking my personal appearance seriously because it's the first thing you are judged by. If you look like shit you get treated like shit more often than not.

You always have to look good when going out. I don't put on a suit to buy groceries. But i will never go out wearing anything dirty or ripped or look like shit. You have to have at lease a bit of self respect.

Me.

I never get to dress up, so if I'm not going to work, you best bet I'm getting my best stuff on for even a trip to the liquor store to get a soda.

Me. I'm off the market in terms of dating, but I still don't want to look like a gross hooligan. It's mostly just about me at this point and presentation's sake, how I want to express myself to the world.

I dress to blend in with everything

Nope. I dress for the occasion. If there's nothing going on, then it'll be for comfort. I'm not dressing up for no reason.

I always dress up unless I am on my cycle, I give two fucks and just want hot cheetos and chocolate as soon as possible.

If you're in really good shape you will get checked out by women in a pair of joggers...I usually always dress up but not lately

I have a very nice business-casual capsule wardrobe that I wear most days.

Do I get odd looks from the polyester-swaddled masses in their joggers and pilled hoodies? Yes. Do I get a certain degree of deference at most establishments? Yes. And if I ever run into colleagues or clients, I'm easily recognizable.

Never.
I have kids, I don't give a shit if I'm wearing a stained shirt or pants with (hopefully) chocolate smeared on them somewhere. I don't dress up for anyone but myself
