Rainbow vs. Hollister
Hey!!!! My Name is Alexis and I wanted to address the idea that white people and black people dress different. What makes an an outfit appropriate for black people or white people. According to society it seems that black people are more into labels, whereas white people just dress in either what they look good in or what they are comfortable in. When black people decide to shop at stores like American Eagle or Hollister, they are percieved to be dressing white. Are the black guys suppose to wear Jordans, sag and show their underwear and the girls suppose to shop at stores like rainbow? So My Question is how are black people "supposed" to dress????

By the way this post is not a diss to anyone who wears rainbow:)
ReplyDeleteThe Notion of what is and what's not appropriate is only the perception of social and media expectations. When people dress in this manner it’s only an excuse for stereotyping. Also when people follow fashion like the pictures above they're people that have no path of their own and they would do anything for the approval of others.
ReplyDeleteNaturally its human nature to be loved and "fit in"; but at what cost? People say that clothes don’t make the man but at the same time you would dress nice for a job interview. Basically a real man or woman shouldn’t care what others think because it’s your life and they shouldn’t live it for you. You can wear any type of clothes you want...it’s a free country, but respect for yourself is yours and yours alone. That’s why I prefer to look professional.
