Girls, do you dress to impress guys or other women?

I think I'm doing it to impress one very special guy and lots of not special for me women)

 

I dress to impress myself...couldn't care less what others think about what i am wearing, really.

 

I don't dress to impress anybody.. I'm sure if I did it would be my sig. other, and if I didn't have one, it would be to attract one.. but.. I am so lazy and so comfortable in the crap that I just throw together, I constantly look like an extremely tired laborer of some sort, maybe on a saturday I'll throw some make up on, but I own 8 shirts, 4 pairs of pants, a pair of comfy old sneakers and I just throw on what is clean or at least smells clean lol. I'm one of those girls who has to leave for work at 8:30, but I crawl out of bed at 8:20..

 

It depends on the situation and what I am getting dressed for. I do not dress to impress anyone but I also know that when "dressed up" for an occasion it tends to make me feel great.

Nothing wrong with that.

 

I'd please women more if I wore a paper bag over my head, and a feed sack over the rest of my body. I'm better at impressing the guys, so that's what I do.

Middle aged women can be nasty, hyper-competitive bitches.

 

no, nothing wrong with that at all... It is fun to get dressed up for things......
I can make them all stare.....

 

I dress for myself and my moods change as to what I wear. Im not a fashionista but have good taste in clothes. In the past woman have stared the evil eye at me just because how I look but instead of finding it a compliment I thing there something wrong so im out with the compact fussing. I used to wear daring see through backless tops and men loved it and woman wanted to fight with you. Ive got pride in myself and wont leave the house a mess, you get a lot of woman who dont care what they look like where I live.

 

As a lesbian I don't need to dress for men as I don't really care what they think of me. I like to be quite individual and different though so I don't always dress for others. If I'm dressing for a girl I usually like a nice shirt dress and either leatherette leggings or flared trousers and my Paper Dolls Blazer with my Toms Leather Brogues or Heels depending on where I'm going. My makeup has to be perfect, my hair straight and one or two small cute accessories.

Although if I'm dressing for me I usually am very bohemian especially in the summer when I'm often in my bright orange Kraftan with either my velvet paint splatted leggings or multicoloured flared leggings, anklets usually with bells on, brightly coloured nails and lots of accessories like headdresses and huge bracelets and if its a nice warm day I'll be barefoot with a pair of sandals strapped to my bag for if I go into shops or restaurants.

 

As a few have said, I only dress for myself as well. Sometimes for my comfort, sometimes for looks, mostly for practicality.

 

Nope, I never do that!

 

I dress for a number of reasons, none of which are to impress anyone. I dress for the occassion, the weather/how cold i may become at the venue im attending, and for my own aesthetic depending on my mood.

Of course i like to wear outfits my partner finds attractive, and may be inclined to wear those pieces more frequently when they are the focus of the event im dressing for. However, that usually means i have to throw that item out if we part ways traumatically because i cant stop associating it with them.

Usually im in sweats/yoga pants/scrub pants, tshirt/tanktop, sweater, and my black ballet flat style house slippers no matter where im going. Im a lazy fuck, and like to be comfortable.

 

I like this answer. My sentiments exactly. My husband definitely appreciates it when I slip into tights jeans or a cute dress on date night. He even understands...or should I say tolerates my shoe fetish...but there is no doubt that I go to the trouble more for other women than I do for guys. Thinking about the girls' weekends and all-girl vacations I've been on...it requires serious wardrobe planning. Dressing up is the best part.

 

I dress for comfort. I don't care if it impresses anyone or not. Personally, I think women who clomp around in high heels that they don't know how to walk in or are forced to stand up all night with their gut sucked in because their jeans/dresses are so tight they can't sit down look ridiculous and are failing to impress ANYONE.

That being said, when I am meeting friends/family of someone I care about, I will dress for the occasion and to impress the other people I will be meeting (i.e. boyfriend's family, a family member's significant other, etc). However, usually after the initial meeting, I will revert back to my "comfort above fashion" motto unless that isn't applicable, such as a holiday dinner or wedding.

The only time I specifically dress to impress other women is if I'm going somewhere with a significant other and I know that one (or more) of their exes will be there. Then it's less of an "impress them" thing as much as it's a "you can't compete with me" thing.
