Why do people judge other people by the clothing they wear?

I’m sick of it. Like, I’m really sick of it.

I don’t understand it. At all. I really don’t do this, at least not overtly. I suppose I can’t control subconscious judgments, but they don’t seem to be showing themselves all that much for me.

People who wear preppy clothes are stuck-up assholes, people who wear Hot Topic-style clothes are emo losers, people who wear pajamas or sweat pants in public are lazy, people who sag are complete idiots…

Enough already. You don’t know squat about a person’s character based on the clothing they wear. As if there isn’t enough judging in this world already, now we have to make all kinds of assumptions about a person’s attitude, intelligence, and social status by their clothing.

I say wear and let wear.
