DRESS HOW YOU WANT TO BE ADDRESSED

in #steemit6 years ago (edited)

I will be talking about how we're partly responsible for the attention we get with our dressing, both in life and on steemit.

I'd start with popular Nigerian red carpet host, Denrele. Denrele was narrating his tale on a television some time ago, talking about how people misunderstood his dressing and took him for a mad man. To him, he was only creating a brand by dressing with torn, patched clothing, and outrageous hairstyle.

Also, he said that about the time he started his trademark appearance, whenever he boarded a commercial vehicle, the passengers would all come down just because they thought he was mentally unfit. Whenever he stopped a commercial motorcycle, they would dodge him because they mistook him for something else.
Normally,a person's first contact reaction to anybody whose mode of dressing is far below or above the norm is to first and foremost take a second glance of admiration or disgust (so also with your steemit blog post). It is until the sanity level of such has been determined before others can be comfortable around the person.
If we decide to dress prim and proper, there is a reason. If we choose to dress with the cleavage exposed or the boobs popping out of our dresses, it is also for a reason.(so also your write ups must be for a very good reason,based on who you want to reach).

There are different dressing for different occasions.(so also different tags to use to dress up your various posts on steemit). For instance, if going for an interview, try to keep it neat and simple.
You must consider the organization in which you are to be interviewed first and foremost. what would they expect from you, what is their dress code. You will be surprised to know that some organizations have a “no tie” policy. If you go dressed formally for an interview in such an organization, it will count for nothing to your interviewer.

In as much as you need to make a good impression, you can never go wrong with a well ironed shirt, a mono coloured trouser (a blazer is a good addition) and a formal shoe that matches your belt for guys.
A shirt and skirt or trouser suit is fine for ladies.
Widely known designer, Gianni Versace, he said and i quote;

'being you is the key to proper collection of clothing.

Whatever way you choose to act, let it be for a positive purpose. Whatever way you choose to dress, let it be for respect and not disgust.

so dress the way you want to be addressed.

Wow this is awesome, nicely written. You dress to impress. You're addressed as you dressed. Dress as a slut and be perceived as a slut. Dress as a gangster and be looked down like such. Dress cool and you would be regarded as a cool person... Keep it coming @Kingingodwin

Gratitude sir@doctorvee. Coming full force

I have very big doubts about this. You should dress for the occassion. Nobody will trust a guy in a suit telling he is the gardener, washing cars or working at a fast food restaurant. If they can be trusted at all and are not sneaky and boring. Dress what fits you as a person only then you will be you, real and approched in the right way

I totally agree with you. Maybe you skipped this part

if we decide to dress prim and proper, there is a reason. If we choose to dress with the cleavage exposed or the boobs popping out of our dresses, it is also for a reason.(so also your write ups must be for a very good reason,based on who you want to reach.

Nice inspiring post this article is dedicated to decency and morals

Thanks for stopping by

At the end of the day, whereas we may choose to toe our own standards, say like that Nigeraian dude, and dress/act any way we like, just so to create our own brand, it must be remembered that you are not an island.

You do not exist on your own, but among people who hold certain expectations, and whose opinion, whereas it does not have to limit your creativity, certainly does matter.

Else, these such responses,

whenever he boarded a commercial vehicle, the passengers would all come down just because they thought he was mentally unfit. Whenever he stopped a commercial motorcycle, they would dodge him because they mistook him for something else.

Will meet you. Then what? Inevitably you beome a pariah, and for what? Becasue you wanted to create your own brand, and in so doing, went way beyond what society can tolerate.

It vis the same here at steemit. And i ma glad you allude to it. Whatver and however you choose to run your blog matters, and must be sensoitive and coignizant of the fact that, steemit is a community.

As such, some standards are expected. They may not always be right, but neither are they always wrong.

Overall, being uinque, setting oyur own trend, is a good thing. And is to be encouraged. However, this must fall within the overal expecttaions of any given society, else you become a pariah.

It is that simple.

Excellently compiled and expressed. It is indeed a good thing to set your trend, but one that carries a positive influence.
Thank you @mirrors for elaborating further.

The pleasure is mine, @kinginggodwin. Thanks.

Congratulations you got resteemed!

Thank you for your comment @rabiujaga but you should know by now, that you do not dress for yourself,else you wouldn't be clothed on a good day especially with this heat.
@mirrors made a comment saying

True tho.... Because no matter what peer pressure has its ezistence for a purpose.. you have to do things to please others because you need their acceptance..
