Do You Dress The Way You Like, or Follow The Latest Trends?

I must be one of the only people that prefer dresses; for me it's more of a comfort factor here in the humid hot Florida, air circulates better. :D One piece, easy peasy, no worrying about matching up pieces, but, I do find myself wearing my loose fitting palazzos most days, lately, for running around, they are another fast easy clothing item to slip into, even if I have to fuss about which top to wear with. I've just always really loved wearing dresses and nice fitting jeans as well, but jeans don't go well in this heat.

I like dresses too! However, only for Summer. Winter here is cold, and trousers[pants!] and a warm jumper [sweater] with socks and ankle boots is ideal.
 

I dress in T-shirts and jeans or sweatpants and comfy shoes of course. Plus I don't go anywhere where dressing up is necessary. So nice after years of work dress code bs.
 
I dress in jeans and sweatsuits in the winter. For the summer it's shorts and always hip length shirts that don't show my waistline (or the lack of it). For Sundays it's dress pants and a dressy blouse. Shoes are whatever is comfortable. I don't pay attention to fashion. I go by what I like. I don't know what is trending and don't really care. I am pretty good at figuring out what looks good on me.
 

I go out for coffee every morning with the boys. We have a group we call ourselves the Senators.

So I always try to look good. Casual but nice shorts, tee shirts, sweaters, jacket, whatever.

It doesn't take any more effort to look good than it does to look sloppy.
 
I occasionally get dressed up for special occasions but I am manily a jean nice shirt kind of gal but will wear summer dresses during the summer..Leah
 
I've been told that my style is a toss up between a scarecrow and Nana Mary!

Trends? What's that?

Unless you're knock out gorgeous I don't think anybody even notices you when out of the house.

I dress for comfort. All comfort. All the time.
 
Did you know Rompers are trending for guys right now? I'm serious.
Don't ask me how I know that :) And don't forget the earlier guys in rompers, Andy Cohen and Sean Connery (below).

Rompers? Do you notice no button or zipper flys. So when you have to go do you take the whole outfit off?

Definitely not for guys with prostate problems. I would never make it. I wouldn't be caught wearing rompers for all the tea in China.

Those guys look like quiche eaters.

"Real women don't pump gas. Real men don't eat quiche.".
 
I wear whatever I like and have never been a 'dedicated follower of fashion' mainly smart but casual, I like comfortable clothes that fit well and look good, not too short, tight or revealing, but not 'frumpy'

I mainly wear flat ballet pump type shoes, boots in winter and leather flip flops in summer, don't see myself ever wearing platforms again !
 
In the summer you'll often find me in comfy cotton Capri pants, flip-flops or sandals, light top. On the beach add wide-brim hat and sunglasses
In the winter it's snug leggings (not too snug), thin top with soft sweaters, and running shoes, or comfy soft leather shoes
 
I have two holdovers from my time in the military.

Number one, all my socks are black. Never have to worry about getting a mismatched pair. And those Gremlins that like to drive you crazy by stealing one sock from each pair out of your laundry? They can't get to me that way. I almost never lose a sock anymore. The little buggers must have moved on to easier targets.

Number two: I almost always wear a black military style canvas web belt. Cheap, durable, and best of all, micro adjustable. Your belt never has to be too tight or too loose.
 
I live where it's hot and humid most of the year. I own mostly white, loose, cotton clothing ... capris and t-shirts/tanks work best for me.
Not a fan of wearing any kind of shoes around home either.
 
Dressed up is when I wear a sport shirt instead of a t-shirt with my jeans or cargo shorts.

I keep a ball cap in the car so I don't get wind blown when the top is down.

I have what is a lifetime supply of t-shirts, mostly souvenirs from places that I have been.

I did wear a necktie once back in 2015.
 
Nope, never been interested in clothing trends because it seems like clothing manufacturers cater to "average" or "petite" size ladies, and I've always been a plus-size gal. I like to dress in things that are flattering. Since semi-retiring over 3 years ago I've found no need to dress any way but casually, being jeans and t-shirts or simple cotton tops, which suits me just fine (no pun intended ha ha!). Funny timing that this thread should pop up again now, because it so happens I spent the morning going through my closet and bagging up a bunch of stuff to be donated, including the "professional image" clothing I had to wear for my career. Good riddance!
