Why do people judge you by the way you dress?

I really do not know. Good question. I get judged all the time by the way I dress, but the funny thing is, i’m not the person people think I am (: I really don’t care though =] You shouldnt care what people think either. People will never stop judging others.

People say not to judge others.. But it’s human nature sadly.

Because it’s the part they see first and the only part they can “judge” with without actually knowing you.

It’s because of that darn saying “you are what you eat” so “you are by what you wear” is followed as well. Dumb really, because there is the saying “don’t judge a book by it’s cover”!! The mind is critical and judgemental to think on whatever it precives, until you get to read the book and understand it - such as a person, that’s when you determine them.

No matter who says they dont judge people do its just human i guess

People judge you by the way that you dress because they are used to doing that. And because it’s the only way to tell how to act towards a certain person whom they don’t know and just met.

If you are invited into the garden of a mansion and meet someone who wears a dirty overall, steel bar shoes, dirty leather gloves and carries a hedge trimmer, then he must be the gardener. You will treat him like you’d treat any gardener. Just that. You’d think that the Millionaire living in that mansion wouldn’t dress like that. Nor would the security guard, nor would the driver, nor the concierge. Which can lead to very awkward situations if the owner of the house actually cuts his own hedges because gardening is his hobby.

You can use the judge-by-dress thing to confuse people.

There have been people who betrayed banks by walking in there, and asking credits while wearing an expensive Italian suit and a Rolex watch and actually received money though they could offer no security at all. And other people - who were actually rich were denied credits because they came in casual dress.

Human nature. We can’t look into a persons heart and soul to know who they are as a person and how they think. So some judge by what meets the eye. Some would agree that clothing defines character while others would disagree. Some would look at you all dressed up in dark colours and heavy make up and label you as an emo. At the same time, they’d label a girl wearing mini shorts a s!ut and claim she’s showing too much skin. Some believe in independence and individualism and don’t care much for what people wear as long as they are comfortable. Society nowadays has made it okay for us to look at people and let our first impression of them, reflect on appearance. I understand why though. Most of the people that we judge, are people we don’t know or people we barely know. We don’t care to judge those we love, because we love them the same anyways. When we see a stranger dressed in attire that consists metal chains and knuckle busters, then I’ll be alert of the person because that’s all I can judge them on. I don’t know if this person has manners and respect, their clothing is the first thing I notice. It’s a human thing to do, whether we want to or not. I find myself subconsciously judging people without even wanting/realizing it. At the end of the day, as long as your comfortable in what you wear, it doesn’t matter what others think. 

Unfortunately in this day & age, the clothes makes the man…the paper(meaning your degree’s) makes the man..the money makes the man…the car makes the man…the area of the home makes the man & hell even the women you have on your arm makes the man…

It’s a superficial world we live in today…which is why love is dying & only common interests are how people live…unless they are arranged marriages. Then you have no choice but to do as your told or else…nice world we live in today…freedom for all to do as we please…cheat on whom ever, lie to whom ever, steal from whom ever as long as we get what we want to make others think we the sh!t… As long as we keep up with appearances…”LOOK AT ME, I AM HERE!” It’s all about the bling bling greedy money…sad thing is, the more you have the more you want…it’s never enough…bcz someone will always be watching you & jealous of you & you always feel like you have to prove something so you need to get better, look better, have better then your next door neighbor.
Fake people, fake friends, fake co workers…that is why everyone judges you today…if you gain an inch ur fat…if you lose an inch ur anorexic..if you wear flee market clothes your poor…if you dress in black & have tat’s or piercings your emo…I just hate all that labeling. Wish people would just stop judging all…live & let live..ffs.

atimes your dressing says alot about you

People are judgmental. And it’s dumb. My girlfriend and I aren’t judgemental. Well I’ve judged a few times but that was awhile ago. It’s really dumb. I don’t judge because I don’t lnow their story and what not. I wear clothes from Hot Topic and such. But it’s stupid the way people judge.

It is not human nature it is a learned trait. We learn to judge when we are younger and innocent and have no judgement on people. It is learned when your parents say things like “ don’t talk to that man over there” or “stay away from that neighbor, he is bad news”. We base our judgement off of what our parents judged as bad and good whether we stuck to it or not well that is our own way of thinking.

because people watch other people and start steriotyping them. the clothes one person might wear puts them into a group with other people(even if they dont belong there) its really unfair but its this thing people do to try to find people that they might get along with or totally dislike. so if u think about it, people are just trying to benefit themselves. hope i was some help to the Q that has more then one answer! :)

it dont bother me how people dress, im more of a personality guy. girls with nice personality’s <3
