Lovelyish

Despite your assumptions on the contrary, I still dress almost exclusively for myself.  Once in a while, I’ll dress in something to attract my boyfriend, but that’s usually for… *ahem*… another purpose than simply covering my body.  And in those instances, it isn’t something I’d want to leave the house wearing.

i dress for society, cuz if it wasn’t for society, i’d be naked 24/7.

oh and the weather too. can’t go out in the snow without clothes on.

lolol at the caption to the obama pic tho. hahaha.

I dress for me, coincidentally I am sexy xD

“i dress for society, cuz if it wasn’t for society, i’d be naked 24/7.”

Well put haha.

It depends upon the situation but mostly the i ask opinion with my girl friends because they are the one who know what best suits me and which will be more sexy .When picking up dress for interview or formal dresses i will pick up the opinion of guys because they know much in these case than girls.

I dress primarily for myself, but my boyfriend’s opinions are important to me too, because I want to look good for him. I don’t care much for other people’s opinions.

Seriously, I dress for myself. What I like is king.

Usually I just dress for work, lol. Thankfully I work somewhere without a strict dress code so I can wear cute dresses to work as long as they look professional. Well, I don’t know about ‘professional’ but I do like Target, Charlotte Russe, Forever21.. But I’m kind of a very conservative dresser so I’m a big fan of cardigans, lol. 

However, for my boyfriend, I think he likes anything that just makes me look cute  

Alright, I’m going to admit it. If I’m wearing something trendy, then I’m definitely trying to impress the girls.
If I’m wearing something exposing or whatever, then it’s for the boys.

Sure I wear whatever I like, but I still dress to impress others.

i dress for me. but my bf’s opinion as well as my closest friends matter.

Aha i would NEVER ask anyones opinion on my clothes. I never pull out clothes and say ooooh look what i got or model them for friends because they lie. Like it or not cause i lie to my friends. I cant just say umm thats not cute or doesnt matter what you wear cause you’re still fat or that doesnt fit right or whatever cause i’m not a bitch. Girls dress for other girls. Guys dont care what you wear as long as it fits you. All they see are pretty faces or ass. Just remember when you see that girl at the supermarket with the body of buddah,booty shorts and a shirt that hits just above her belly button with people. Remember all of them told her girrrrrl you look fine..

….still dress for myself. I don’t think I’ve ever bought something or put something back because someone said it looked good/bad on me – I usually buy clothes by myself anyway. If my husband likes something in particular, it’s usually something I’d never be wearing out in public, if you get my drift. 

I dress for me and only me. I do adhere to societal norms of dress, but at the end of the day, it is about what I am comfortable in…and I’m not talking about sweats! I take into account…”am I worried about rolls? will my feet hurt in heels? are my jeans too restricting?”

When I am getting ready, i never consider anyone but me!

i think the title of your post is a totally different question that what you’re actually asking in your entry, which is why you’re getting a lot of “i dress for myself” responses.

whose opinion do i value more? if i’m on the fence about something, i’ll totally ask another girl, ‘cuz the vast majority of girls have better fashion sense (at the very least when it comes to women’s clothing, ‘cuz they actually have to wear it) than men.

so, women <3

myself, i really dont care what anyone else thinks

I dress for myself. If I’m not comfortable with myself, I wouldn’t look good in anything!

My biggest challenge when it comes to shopping is all about the fit (and sometimes, the color). And, for that, I ask my boyfriend’s opinion. He sure knows what is super flattering on me and what’s not.

Other than that, I really don’t care about anyone’s opinion. 

most of the time i listen to my girls more often because my guys would be like, Yeah it’s fine. and etc haha.

I don’t care I wear what I wear because it makes me happy and feel grand NOT because I want to impress anyone other than myself.

None of the above.  I dress for myself….and sometimes, for my husband.

MEN. 

I value women’s opinions more, because they know more about the curves and what looks best on a female’s body. A guy would just tell you to show more cleavage or leg! But a girl would let you know what looks classy but still sexy. And when you just look like a slut. 

I mostly dress for my self. I do take in consideration what other people think but its mostly how I feel. Theyre not wearing it so why do I care. ‘Cept I make sure Im appropriate so my mom wont kick me out the house…

@XoAsianBabioX@xanga - hahaha

Think people should just dress how they feel like it, and only try to impress themselves not other people. As long as your happy with it.

Cuz face it, you can complament yourself and feel great, sometimes better when other people say it; but you never know if they are being honest.

Of course I dress for myself, but I also value a woman’s opinion. I may ask, “Do you think this is cute too?” or something along those lines. I will take their opinion into consideration more than my boyfriend’s, for example.

If I pull out a dress and ask my boyfriend what he thinks, he might say something like, “Oh. It’s nice because it’s blue and you like blue.”
My friends or my sisters would probably say something like, “The cut is nice but I don’t think it will fall right on you once you put it on.”

They are more critical when it comes to clothes while most men that I know only look at the color or feel of it.

hmmm… i deal with trying to decide who i’m aiming to please almost every day. my boyfriend likes me to wear tomboy or plainjane outfits. he loves jean, teeshirts, hoodies, and tennis shoes. other boys like me when i wear short skirts and tights. girls like me when i’m fashionable and feminine, but not skanky.

i like being beautiful, but everyone has their own definition of what that means. can’t win em all i guess..

well, when i’m with my boyfriend’s mom, i like to dress proper, but also comfy sometimes. but when i’m with him, i just like to dress for myself.

I definitely have to say I’m more influenced by women’s opinions.

I know most guys wouldn’t give a shit what you wear, but girls are very… critical.

if people say ‘ i dress for myself’ it’s bullshit. EVERYONE likes looking nice – EVERYONE likes compliments, EVERYONE has that one person that they would love to look nice for(whether its a friend, SO, parent, teacher, boss whatever anyone) and EVERYONE asks the question ‘how do i look in this?’ which automatically means they fucking care about how they look.

I dress for myself.

depends on my mood and occasion. I think the opinion of both sexes count

I dress for myself, If someone is with me and they ask me to come out so they can see how i look in it and they say it looks good or it doesnt look good, if i like it imma keep it and if i dont like it i will put it back not because of there opinion  and tell them my opinion and they just say ok. everyone has diffrent taste and your opinion might be diffrent from the other person. But i dont dress to impress people in this world for the simple fact is that i do NOT know them and i will probably never see them ever again so what does it matter. i dress for myself and i know for a fact im not a bad dresser so whatever i do choose i normally get complement on either way even when im in sweat pants i still look good =)

I think the very fact that men know nothing about fashion makes them better judges of what looks good. Girls tend to brainwash themselves into thinking the season’s trends look chic, whereas a guy will give an outfit an objective look and see sequins for what they are: absolutely ridiculous.

I dress for the cows and they think I’m banging.

i think i dress more for women than men, especially since i have a boyfriend

“Even if you ultimately disagree with the other person’s judgment, you’ll still take it into consideration.”

Not really. I REALLY do dress for myself. Yes, that does freak people out (very seldom I’ll wear a tie, and I’m a girl), but what are you gonna do. And I LOVE that pic of the two Presidents checking out that Brazilian chick (even though technically speaking, Obama wasn’t). It’s just so human, lol.

hmmm mens opinion. but i dont wear trashy shit.

Putting myself in that scenario (if bf liked my outfit but gf didnt) I would deffffenitely trust my gf’s opinion more. 

I wear things that are flattering on my figure. I noticed that I get the most compliments from gay guys. I think it’s darling when straight guys notice (and like) something about my outfit, but are equally confused by it as well (i.e. bubble skirts).

Definitely women.  Like you said they don’t always understand trends or fashions and you usually know how to dress to get compliments from a man.  

When a woman compliments you, you feel good because you know for sure that you look good, especially if it’s someone you don’t know.

@makea_wishh@xanga - very very true

i try not to let other people’s opinions influence what i buy, but girls can be harsh when it comes to being fashionable.  if you’re wearing something that clashes, you can bet they’ll make fun of you for it, whether it’s to your face or not.  guys on the other hand usually don’t notice what you’re wearing unless you ask them. since i’m not really looking for a boyfriend, i usually just wear what i want as long as it’s comfortable, but not so hideous that some chick thinks to herself “what the hell is she wearing?” 

both, but there are some fashion trends that boys don’t even understand why but us girls loves it.  So i guess in a way we dress for girls too.

I dress for myself and for the opinions of people who matter to me; so I guess a mixture of both.

usually women. my boyfriend doesn’t get it. if it were up to him, i would always just be in a tshirt, which is boring. occasionally i dress for attention from guys i guess, but only because i’m not fashionable enough to put together cute outfits all the time.

And they say guys like tee-and-jeans girls. So why bother even asking them?

MEN. 

Then when I feel nihilistic, I wear my all-black body-hugging outfit (still attractive to men, but not the type I go for LOL)… Or normal women-pleasing shirt-&-jeans – with a punky twist… 

Easy question: I dress for women. 

I value a female’s opinion.
I’m happy to say I get compliments from girls.
Like, nice shoes.

My bf hates flats.
He says they are weird shoes.
He also hates some of my purses too.

Like, you’re going outside with that thing?

Uh yeah, don’t hate. LOL

I love it when other girls give me a compliment on what I wear; it gives me a bit more confidence because I know how it feels to admire another person’s style.

Guy’s fashion influences me. It’s kind of funny that i am influenced by guy’s clothing rather than girl’s. I still dress more on the girly side, because those clothes just seem to fit better i guess, but i incorporate punkish guy-ish looks to my clothes. I dunno.
I don’t usually dress up, and i don’t dress to impress because i am ugly anyway. I wear what makes me feel comfortable. If i do dress up, it’s most likely because whatever event i attend requires formal attire or something.
And i disagree about the nakedness 24/7 thing, i think i would still be wearing clothes even if society preferred or allowed nakedness. XD lol. It’s actually comfortable to me, and i would hate walking around all the time jiggling, ya know? 

lols. i dress for myself. but def. not my bf’s opinion. hahas. he thinks im a fatty in everything i wear. so no diff to him

i am extremely girly so the clothes i choose usually impress my girlfriends more… i think

I have a friend who always dresses amazingly! 

So when I hang out with her I worry more about what I’m going to ware than when I’m going to hang out with the boy I like lol
So weird

With clothes, accessories, etc. I often get “mixed compliments” – such as “that’s so *you*” or “It’s certainly…unique?” – which I immediately note, notice, then discard and do my own thing.

Same goes for “WOW! Where *did* you get that?!” or “Whoah! That is wild!”.

Since the age of 28, I’ve found far more compliments on my attire from dressing to impress myself than dressing to impress men *or* women.

Personally, I dress for either sex, depending on my mood.  I know sometimes when I’m going out that what I’m wearing are things that men despise and only women find cute, but it doesn’t really bother me.  As for which opinion I’d hold in higher regard, a man’s, because I’m heterosexual and I want to appeal to the male sex. 

and I know that most men hate boots, all boots and I’m pretty sure they aren’t too fond of leggings. 

I dress in clothes that I like, but steer it towards something that also makes my boyfriend happy. He’s the one that has to look at me – I don’t care about impressing anyone else (physically.)

I dress for myself. who is female. 

I tend to mix both.  If I know I’m going to be hanging out with a group of girls, I’m obviously going to dress for them.  If I know I’m going to class where there are guys, I’ll dress cute AND to accentuate my curves.  What used to happen is I would go to somewhere inconspicuous like the library and my hair would be still a little wet from the shower, I’d be wearing a t-shirt and warm-ups, not expecting to see anybody that I want to look good for.  But of course the one time that I do that, I end up seeing a really cute guy and end up wishing I looked better.  So now, anywhere I go, I always make sure to have SOMETHING going on, if not head to toe gorgeous.  I try to mix comfort with style, but sometimes wanting to impress a guy overrules comfort.  XD

no girl dresses for boys
its all about what other girls think

honestly we’d prefer no clothes

I tend to go with who said what most. Meaning if there are more yes’ than no’s then its a good outfit. and vice a verse. If he likes it and everyone says its a no..I would lean more to not wearing it so much and then get another round of opinions. If its still no, but he REALLLLLLLLY like how I look in it then..I’ll wear it. But If I don’t like it and he does and everyone else says no, then bye whatever!

i feel good, if i think I look good…sure the compliments are nice…but if its something that i think is blah..and everyone else thinks its really hott..its like ohh really? ehh i didnt kno lol…i jus threw this on..thanks haha… well now ive learned, u never give away ur secrets, nd just say thankyou but yea…and i would always ask a girlfriend…i dont tend to follow trends persay…but they just know what works on you….when i dress for my bf tho..ill try to wear his favorite colors and stuff…but hes more interested in taking clothes off, so its not as important lol. I would ask them if it was like prom…or some other formal event..so we can match appropriately. The only guy I would ask on how it looks genuinely would be a gay guy or metrosexual cuz they would look at it seriously lol..straight guys no way…

I’d like to say “I dress for guys”, but I ask for the opinion of my mother & sister. So,essentially, I end up dressing for girls.

The people who say they dress fo rthemselves are big-fat-liars!
That’s just like saying “Oh, I don’t care what anyone thinks…”
I would gather, about 2% of the population actually dresses for just themselves, or doesn’t care what others think..

I dress for girls that I admire fashion-wise, but I also dress for boys… It’s very easy to keep up with the trends and still look cute! (:
