The Yoga Pants trend
I don't hav any kids, and was being a bit facetious. Obviously, no one wants their kid binge drinking or pot smoking. But how they dress doesn't likely make much difference to their grades.- reetpleat

Interesting story - I think this could be many of us.
It seems he did allude to being of Austrian nobility, but I am not so sure anyone cared. It was a lie, but likely, a pretty harmless one of living out a fantasy that everyone seemed to not care much about, and to go along with. I doubt he would have been ostracized or kicked out if he were to...- reetpleat

The only thing I would care about is results. Is he getting good grades and learning something. if so, that is good enough for me.- reetpleat

He seemed truly surprised. I would have expected a knowing wink while he said he was surprised, or him saying he didn't much care either way. On the other hand, don't be so sure these people do not care. they may have no objection to a fellow like this. But that doesn't mean they would...- reetpleat

The Yoga Pants trend
It seems to me, a lot of people want to judge and speak negatively of people who wear certain things, then defend it by acting as if that person came to them complaining about not getting a job. None of these people asked you for a job, for your advice on how to dress for an interview, or...- reetpleat

I like this story. I do find it kind of funny. I could have told you this guy was not who he appeared to be for the simple reason that true old money and nobility are not quite so dedicated to preserving things quite like this. Sure, they still dress up, and organize balls. But this guy was...- reetpleat

I won't comment on women, or guys who are just slobs with no effort into their dress. but when I see a young guy dressed in some outrageous, or strange trendy outfit, weather it is punk rock, blue hair, baggy pants, etc. I just say to myself, "he must be meeting girls this way' and that is all...- reetpleat

I don't know this guy, but I would assume he is not the first to be decrying the decline of American culture. I am sure he is one in a line dating back to the 1800s. Just like complaints of youth of today that can be found back centuries ago, I am sure there are always people that think things...- reetpleat

Oh, here in Seaattle, there are plenty of science and tech jobs paying very good money. They are mostly filled with Indians and Chinese, and the occasional Russians on HB1 visas. It isn't like they will work for less. They are commanding salaries that would have many Americans salivating. I...- reetpleat

Hard to say. The person in the yoga pants must b comfortable, As well as feeling spiritually renewed. On the other hand, others might get a chance to feel smug and superior to them, so that has to be a good feeling.- reetpleat

Well, Hemingway said, "So far, about morals, I know only that what is moral is what you feel good after and what is immoral is what you feel bad after and judged by these moral standards, which I do not defend, the bullfight is very moral to me because I feel very fine while it is going on and...- reetpleat

Many dance clubs in the 2000s and today, have dress codes against hip hop wear such as hats, tennis shoes, etc. What they are really doing is trying to screen out a certain type, so as to prevent trouble. Unfortunately, that type in general is black and other minorities. I have no problem...- reetpleat

Don't foget, though, that while poor working guys tried to dress well, rich kids and rich people led the way in caqsual wear, sporting wear, wearing t shirts and jeans in the 40s was all the rage amongst the middle and upper middle class guys, while the girls took to wearing jeans and bobby...- reetpleat

I always thought the whole rental tuxedo for wedding thing was weird. Back in the day, men got married in their best suit unless they were wealthy, in which case they were married in what was appropriate for a formal afternoon affair, their cut away coat. In the 50s, I think the trend was at...- reetpleat

Hate to say it, but the common etiquette seems to be do not dress better than the bride or the groom. So you might have to carefully consider just how well you want to dress, assuming you take that advice into account. Although I don't imagine you would be the only one in a tie at a wedding.- reetpleat

Well, of course we make judgements based on people's appearance, and I suppose there is deep instinct involved. But don't forget. the conversation is about yoga pants, and I don't think I face any real threat from a girl in yoga pants. Quite the contrary, she is probably quite calm and...- reetpleat

Well, I am a lover of vintage suits and other attire. Love it. But I could not care less about modern formal or informal dress. Most suits look cheap and tacky to me these days. I can apprecite a well dressed gent in a well cut suit, but not that big a deal to me. Back in San Francisco in...- reetpleat

Yes, you have every right to think that. And if it is a matter of hiring someone, doing business with them, or perhaps avoiding them for your personal safety, then it seems reasonable to judge people as to how it might affect you. However, if it does not make any difference as to affecting you...- reetpleat
