I've never felt like myself in smart clothes, be it when I was at school or as I've gotten older. I've ALWAYS felt more comfortable and more like myself in trackies and t-shirt.

I was a scruffy dresser in my youth but now I love dressing up and feel great in smart clothes. I would rather be suited and booted than in jeans. Any other men out there who like to dress smartly?

So you don't find that smarter clothes can ever make you feel better about yourself?
For a woman's view on this - I love being in jeans but I must admit when I make the effort and dress up - my confidence soars. I guess we're all a bit sloppy these days which is really not an excuse. If I could afford it I would look and feel a million dollars every day!!!!
Not me BluePeter, if anything I'd maybe say the opposite, as I don't feel like myself, I don't feel as comfortable, I have a bit less confidence being dressed smartly. I know that sounds a bit strange, and probably doesn't make alot of sense to people, but it's just how I feel.
I like my clothes to be free and to suit for my activities. I do not mind smart clothes at all when i need to make an impression, but if you ask me of what i like, then i am with Stevvy. I like to play with the colours and like to change what i am wearing from time to time to feel fresh myself and to experiment and see what fits me better. When you are used to being dressed smartly, then it feels natural to you like when you are living, let's say, in a small village and you are used to something else. My choice is freedom!![]()
I have to be smart as the nature of my work reqires me to be well dressed but outside working hours i like to relax in shorts and teeshirts, thats the nature of the beast when you have spent many years in the military.
Raf, then you are like my pappa! He is always dressing in smart clothes and keeps them as accurate as only possible! But the years in the military do it's thing, it's true. And I prefer the smart clothes as well because my mamma was very strict about it, but it happened this way because of my immunity and she always had her way with clothes. I like the freedom, just like Lex, but feel myself more comfortable in what I am simply used to and what I have (ahem). If I had a chance, I would dress like Vikings did!![]()
