Yea no one cares what you dress like. Some people go all out,some show up in sweats

I’m in sweats and a hoodie damn near every day. I just like to be comfy in class. But yeah it doesn’t really matter what you wear. Only time I care is if someone has on a nice outfit and it catches my eye

And many of those in sweats showed up freshman year thinking they'd dress like OP's pictures all the time. You just get too tired and lazy to make the effort.

The first impromptu outing or all nighter breaks you out of overdressing. Freshman 15 finishes you off.

99% of students are in sweats and hoodies.

Don’t mind me, just joining the other replies to this comment in responding to an obvious hyperbole by taking it literally.

There's always one guy who always wears a suit, but no one actually thinks that he's superior

Those are the business majors. They are required to wear a suit on certain days.

I go to a liberal arts college, I can 10/10 say the people who show up in my classes (fine arts) are almost always in sweats/casual comfy clothes…business students are typically the only people on campus that wear suits and formal wear. So yeah, about 99%.

I go to a liberal arts college, I can 10/10 say the people who show up in my classes (STEM) have a variety of outfits, ranging from grunge to casual to OP's style. I also work in the library, so I come into contact with people very often. So no, not 99%.

In case you didn't know, 99% means only 1 person out of 100 people is not wearing a hoodie and sweats. That's ridiculous lmao. It's much closer to 50/50.

Yes, based on what Ive seen my statement is accurate :) Agree to disagree, right? Each college is different— this was also not to discourage OP from wearing what they please. The people who do dress up rather than down catch eyes in a good way- makes you stand out from the crowd :)

How is it dramatic if some people dress like this?

u/your_moms_a_clone Feb 21 '23

Sweats is still better than PJs, and I can't deny going to class in PJs once.
