<p>Do you wear jeans? Sweatpants with t-shirts? Pajamas? What types of things do you wear? At orientation, I wore relatively dressy/stylish tops (i.e. Arden B, abercrombie, things like that), and dark designer jeans, with flip-flops. Most kids there just wore jeans with t-shirts and flip-flops or sneakers... Is that what people normally wear to like lectures and classes too? The seats are very uncomfortable and cramped in the lecture halls, and my jeans are pretty tight and uncomfortable, so I kind of want to wear sweat pants (like semi-dressy ones, not the old ragged work-out type, if that makes sense! LOL). Do you think that'd be alright?</p>
<p>No one is going to care. You can dress like you're going to a business meeting or like you just rolled out of bed. Seriously, I don't even look at what everyone else is wearing, especially in my larger classes. Just wear whatever you want to wear. It doesnt matter at all. As long as you have clothes on.</p>
<p>I agree with the above posters, unless you go to a college with an explicit dress code (some religious schools have one). But if you went to such a college, you would probably be aware of it.</p>
<p>Yeah most people wear t-shirts and jeans. Although sometimes I bust out something more dressy like chinos with a button up or a polo. Can't really wear shorts up here during the school year.</p>
<p>You can wear anything, but I will warn you that you should consider what type of room setting you will be sitting in. If it's a huge lecture hall, no one will notice you. If you're in a discussion room with a 40-person maximum limit, be careful what you choose to wear. The professor will notice you more. You may also have to sit in the front row.</p>
<p>Oh yeah, most of the classes with my majors are small (16 in one, around 32 in another), then I would care about what I wear. But I still wouldn't care if someone was wearing sweatpants or something. As long as everything is covered and whatnot. =P Use common sense, if you think people will laugh at you or get offended, then don't wear it....</p>
<p>I've noticed that girls are much, MUCH more likely to sit next to you if you wear a polo shirt than if you wear a t-shirt. It wasn't a conscious decision I made but for my first two years I never wore them because I didn't own them. This year I do wear them most days since I had to wear them for work, so now I do own them. For the first two years usually it'd be guys sitting next to me in classes I didn't know anyone in, now girls usually sit next to me. Go figure.</p>
<p>I...don't think that's true.
Sorry. Im a girl and I wouldn't sit next to a guy just because he had on a specific type of shirt. Maybe they are sitting next to you because there were no more seats. =P</p>
<p>I just wear whatever. People will most likely wear things like what you've seen them wearing so far.</p>
<p>Oh Chuy's theory is kinda correct for me. I much rather sit next to a guy that is dressed nicer than some guy that is wearing a tshirt (especially if it is old looking or has a certain theme to it). I kinda associate better dressed people to being smart (I know this can be wrong.....) and smart people are good to know.</p>
<p>I agree with Chuy's theory too. I feel, whether consciously or subconsciously, more comfortable sitting next to well dressed people ... and I think most people probably feel the same way even if they don't do it consciously.</p>
<p>I agree with Chuy...guys in polos are cute. </p>
<p>I usually wear nice (premium/designer) jeans with a tee shirt or a polo or something. Sometimes I'll wear a casual dress (like and American Apparel tee shirt dress) or something like that...</p>
<p>I wear polos, but you guys don't even make sense. Polo does not necessarily = well dressed. There are nice polos (the one's from banana republic are nice), but you're telling me that a hugo boss t-shirt isn't well dressed? Give me a break. A collar and a few buttons doesn't make you well dressed. There are stylish polos and crappy polos, just like there are stylish t-shirts and crappy t-shirts.</p>
<p>soccer shorts, t shirt ad flip flops.
If it's cold, warm up pants and a hoody.
I have to walk a lot on my campus, so dressing up just doesn't excite me</p>
<p>Wow. Well dressed does not equal smart. And a polo doesn't mean you are well dressed, either. I don't care who I sit next to if Im in a huge class, as long as they don't smell or bother me. Clothing doesn't really matter to me unless they are wearing a huge chicken costume.</p>
<p>Of course well dressed doesn't equal smart! I can't find a place where anyone said it did!</p>
<p>I think the whole point of chuy's comparison between the tshirt and the polo was a basic comparison between not so well dressed and well dressed. Say you walk into a room with 10 or so people in it. Do you sit next to the guy with the frumpy tshirt on or the guy with the khakis and a nicer shirt on? Let me tell you - you're not going to sit next to the guy with the frumpy tshirt. It's just a matter of what you find more appealing and most people find polos more appealing. It's a matter of human nature that people like to be associated with people who are more appealing and attractive!</p>
<p>I wasn't talking about a 10 person class, I was talking about a large, lecture class. =) I already said that if the class is smaller, I would care more.</p>
<p>And I wasn't talking about chuy's post anymore, I was responding to what the others were saying about well dressed = intellegence, which someone did say. </p>
<p>A t-shirt does not mean you are not well dressed, Im not understanding where you guys are getting this from.</p>
<p>Nerds don't usually wear crappy clothes. They tend to wear polos and button up shirts and crap like that (as far as I've seen). That's just what I meant. Sorry I'm a bit incoherent tonight.</p>
