- A Facebook user disagrees on policing what others wear out in public
- A Twitter netizen refers to people wearing sandos, shorts, and slippers as “uglifying”
- Being fancy is not a requirement, argues Jhong Garcia, when you are outside
Whether we like it or not, how we look and how we dress affects how we are perceived by others. But one Facebook user challenges this viewpoint, and responds to the viral post on Twitter that it should not be a big deal how one dresses in public.
Jhong Garcia shared on his Facebook account a screenshot of a viral post on Twitter. Garcia’s post showed the caption and a picture of two people (whose faces were hidden by black smudges) at a coffee shop wearing sandos and presumably shorts, as the picture only captured them from the waist up.
The name of the original post was withheld.
The caption in the picture suggested that there should be a law banning sandos, shorts, and slippers from being worn in public.
The person then went on to say that one can “uglify” their selves at home, but to not do it out in the open, especially in places where people would want to go and eat.
Due to this, others might “lose their appetite” at the sight of an individual in that kind of clothing. The original post, the subject of Garcia’s argument, went on further to scrutinize that if people can buy expensive gadgets, why can’t they dress up nicely, too?
This post also mentioned that laws, if implemented properly, have the means of teaching people proper courtesy to others.
In short, it is best to dress for the occasion. But Garcia simply rebuked that it is not a requirement to be fancy when a person wants to go out and get coffee.
