Why do people get intimidated by my style?

Question

Hey there, I was just wondering why people seem to get intimidated by how I dress? As a person, I like to dress up a lot, for example I like to wear black slacks, a nice blouse and a well fitting armani collection blazer and a pair of pointy toed shoes. I like to wear Gucci shoes, not to impress anyone, just because I like thier designs and they are comfortable. Sometimes I will wear vintage pieces. I am in my last semester of college, but I am more dressy then most students, and even many of the adults in the community. I stand out where I live in the suburbs, and only feel at home in a city like New York, Paris, SF or London. People seem to shy away from me because of the way I dress. Sometimes I think I tend to stand out. I am not trying to impress anybody, it's just want I like to wear, and don't feel the same in anything else.

I don't wear designer labels to impress anybody, I just prefer them because of thier workmanship.

I don't wear designer things to impress anyone, it's all about the workmanship, and most of my things don't even having any showing labels.

Hi there, people that dress well are not snobby, they just have a sense of style. My husband is the same way, he's from europe, and boy does he love his suits. It's sunday, and he will be in a suit. I think it is nice when people dress up and pay attention to what you wear, especially after you are married and you are going to have a baby. Some women who are mothers turn into slobs after they get married and become pregnant. Sometimes women think they have to give it all up to thier kids and thier families and can't look stunning anymore, this is a real nonsense mentallity, but unfortunatly most women in America fall prey to it, and as a result end up looking like dowdy housewives. I bet you are going to be hot mama!

Answer 2

Have people actually told u that they get intimidated by how u dress, or are u making that assumption on ur own?

Second, could it be the way u talk, the way u act, and the way u speak? Maybe it is something about you, and your dress style emphasizes that. You seem to like the fact that you "tend to stand out." Others go to college to get an education?

Maybe it's that u define urself by what u dress, and people get turned off by that. To me, u sound like a spoiled rich girl. When I was in college, I had to work and study at the same time, didn't have the luxuries of buying what I "like."

Remember this saying, whatever goes up must someday come down. And the higher the jump, the harder the fall. Make sure there are some people down on earth waiting to cushion u. In other words, make sure u have some good quality friends.

1. They are jealous because they can't afford it or don't look that good.

2. They are just hateful.

3. They think you are trying too hard to impress.

Yes, people are cruel, but that is life. You have to overcome it and not care what they think. If you wanna wear your Gucci shoes, then damnit, wear them! (Or give them to me!) It doesn't matter what people think. As long as you make yourself happy, and the loved ones around you are happy- then your great. You dress wonderful, and when you go into an interview for an awesome job, they will notice it in a positive way. Good luck with everything.

Answer 4

People are intimidated by your style because whether you like it or not, money is a sign of power, and the designer brands you wear cost a lot of money. People see this and have complexes with the power that money brings.
Try to shine through what you are wearing and show people who you really are. Thing less about the labels you are wearing, and so will other people.

Answer 5

I'm in my second to last semester in college and, personally, I'm so busy applying to grad schools and maintaining my GPA that I don't bother to pay attention to what other students are wearing. Back when I had time for that sort of thing, I used to avoid people who seemed to be overtly obsessed with brands and expensive attire because, in my experience, I found I had little in common with most of them. Maybe it's not intimidation, just disinterest.

Answer 6

Some people just get jealous. I know because i also wear designers all of the time and i know how u feel. some people think im trying 2 be a snob but im not so i can feel for you. designers are better quality so they last longer. As long as you can afford the stuff forget what other people think. I used 2 kinda like feel weird cuz ppl would stay stuff or look and act different around me but now its like w/e b/c i know i look good and i wanna feel good 2. so im not going 2 stop wearing designers just to make other people feel more comfortable. and it should be the same way 4 u....hope this helps!!

Answer 7

If this is the way you feel about how people think of you in those clothes, then you are probably putting out an uncomfortable vibe. People tend not to be put off by people who are dressed nicely, but they are put off by people that aren't comfortable in their own skin. You said yourself that you only feel comfortable in a city like New York, Paris, SF or London. If that's how you feel, other people can probably feel it too. Be happy with who you are and who cares what you're wearing. If you feel good in it, than you'll look good in it.

Answer 8

I personally admire the fact that you dont change your style for NOBODY!! I think your style sounds cute and I don't think other people's opinions should matter. I also love vintage pieces. People just need to get used to the fact that not everyone dresses like abercrombie models. So yea, don't worry about it...as long as you feel good about yourself, there is no need to shy away or change!

maybe they're not intimidated but just wondering why someone would actually dress up to college.i normally spend time dressing up if i'm going someplace like dining out.otherwise,i just wear something casual with tennis shoes to class and don't care too much of how i look at school.unless you actually consider school a place to see and be seen.

Answer 10

well thats what you want to wear so if people dont like you/accept you for who you are and what you like adn your style then thats there problem. you have a great sense of fashion. have you considedered moving to a place where you are more comfortable? dont care what people think, if they are intimidated its only because they are jelous or think you are stuck up or rich. no offense but thats the truth. i dont think that but i have many friends who tell me how they feel bout this kind of stuff. just good luck and dont change for anyone!
