Wear the thing because you like it, not because the comment section will. You’re the one inside the outfit.

CREATIVITY

WHAT THIS MEANS

Making choices for an audience means they get the benefit while you carry the cost. They see it for a second and move on, and you spend the whole day inside the decision, which holds for clothes and for most of what people do in order to be perceived a certain way. Your own experience of a thing is not a minor consideration.

Before you choose, ask whether you would still want it if nobody would see it. Let that answer carry most of the weight. Comfort in your own day outlasts a reaction you will not be present for.
