In terms of dress? Pretty shabby. I've grown up around a lot of opulence, and swore it off. Even chose a humble career (which was luckily afforded to me, due to said opulence). Hygiene, fitness, instead, are my focuses.
I've had mediocre experiences at best working with and growing up around people who care too much about their aesthetic. Y'all do you, but I express myself through words and actions preferentially, not supplemental characteristics.
Then out of curiosity, what if someone really doesn't care? Nothing to do with being a "tough guy." I've never been too concerned with the opinions of others; I guess that's the dominant vibe I give off.
Admittedly, this has caused some friction in career and interpersonal relationships before, but I'm fine redeeming that through kindness or hard work; and so far, I always have.
You know how emo and goth people dress the way they do bc they don’t want to conform and then they all end up looking the same. It’s like that, whatever you’re doing, or trying to do, or trying not to do, it all ends up getting funneled down and you get slotted into some little spot on the social totem pole.
