I'm 19. I go to college. I started dressing up like a business man on a normal basis. I receive A LOT of respect from older adults and professors. Girls are all over me. When people ask me why I'm dressed up I reply "This is just how I dress" The n they say they like it. Males say the like it too it makes me look like I should be taken seriously.

Since then I have become a leader in a program and I have a reputation from the way I dress. I DO NOT want to dress like this anymore. I'm very fun loving and goofy and stuff. It doesn't match me. The thing is I don't want to let everybody down and I can't just back out of the program because my picture was put the college magazine. I got a whole page to my self. Everyone was so "proud of me" for changing too. What should I do??????
 
Well, if you don't like the way you dress change it. But don't just one day go dressing like a buisness man to dressing like a regular 19 year old. You have to do it slowly. If you wear, like a suit and tie, then one day get rid of the tie, then in like 3 or 4 days get rid of the suit jacket. Then the next few days wear regualr pants (Not jeans yet but not suit pants) then in a week start wearing t-sharts intead of collared shirts. Do this slowly that way people won't really notice a big difference.
 
Change back..you'll be miserable like this the rest of your life..when people asked what happened to your clothes just tell them, "dressing like that wasn't really me..I'm more of a goofy person and it was getting tiring." And if people don't like it then they can't accept you for who you really are. I don't think you'll let anyone down because they'll probably still love you because you're being YOU and that's all that really matters. Just tell them what you wrote in those parargaphs. Good luck! And remember to stay true to who you are =)
 
well i kind of like that you dress nicer, i think that it gives of a more sophisticated student, more willing to learn, and go farther in life. but to fit your personality, i would say to just be simple, and just wear jeans, with a polo shirt (polo or something else)
 
Wear clothes that represent you and your personality.

Sure, you get more respect wearing a suit and you'll look more professional, but you could still wear the things you want without letting anyone down. I want to know what your style is, so I could make a few suggestions, but you could still be taken seriously, all you have to do is add some simple things that suit your personality. What is it that you dont like about your current look?

Not all people like what they're supposed to wear, such as uniforms and work attire, but you just have to deal with it. Im not saying you shouldnt change your current look, but you could wear things that look clean and professional, yet casual. You wont be a disgrace for changing your type of clothes. You could also try changing it up a bit, your only 19. This is the time to experiment and wear what you want. When you get older, you get limited to choices of clothes.

Do what you want and dont let anyone get in the way!!
