Mental take. Humans are fundamentaly are pack animals that are built for connection and community.
The most important thing about being human is working with others. Caring about what others think of you and you caring about them is of vital importance.
I agree that carrying about others and showing empathy is vitally important, but I am not the least bit concerned what you think if you’re judging me or others simply based on what we’re wearing, assuming it’s not intentionally offensive or indecent.
People who are more concerned about how they are perceived by others than who they are as a person have a problem and likely don’t know it. Dressing stylish or fancy is not itself evidence of self-respect, and being overly concerned about how strangers perceive you can be the exact opposite.
We are talking about people dressing poorly. Sure if you want to wear gym clothes at the gym or walking around fine. Additionally I haven’t got issues with tradies getting a sandwich on a lunch break but they shouldn’t be wearing that to a sit down dinner on a date after work.
But we are also quite smart animals, the dressing up shit is just something we have imposed on ourselves(which origins from rich people btw), we, with time can learn to disregard that bullshit to a certain extent
