“ DRESS UP ” OR “ DRESS DOWN ”
“ To each , his own .” Dressing up or dressing down depends on individuality and personality . A lot of factors like culture , mindset , body type and ethnicity influence an individuals ' clothing and the way they present themselves . For one he may be comfortable in casual clothes whereas a few cannot live without flamboyance . For the other person , it ' s all in the perception . You cannot disregard a person who dresses up or down owing to the fact that it does not match your sense of style . “ Simplicity is the key note of all elegance ” -Coco Chanel , says the famous designer . In all profundity , criticizing would get a person nowhere and we are supposed to respect each others ' ideals and views . We ' re not here to judge each other ' s opinions nor to pick on someone , in fact we are to embrace , espouse and live with amity . Wear what you love and never hold back your personality . Because the most attractive thing a person can possibly wear is confidence !

More than often we tend to categorize people on the way they look , talk and dress up . It takes just a quick glance , maybe three seconds , for someone to evaluate you when you meet them for the very first time . In this short time , the other person forms an opinion about you based on your appearance , your body language , your demeanor , your mannerisms , and how you are dressed . Ofcourse physical appearance matters . According to me an individual ’ s dressing sense reflects their character , personality , mood and sometimes even what they want to achieve in life . But it ' s also very important that they dress up according to the demands of the situation . An individual ’ s dressing sense speaks volumes of his character and personality .

It has been a constant source of joy for various generations when they graduate , to be relieved from the reign of the uniform . The unmistakable bliss of being able to decide what to wear to college can neither be justified nor can it be disapproved . The problem begins when the students , especially girls go overboard with their dressing and make up . In an attempt to look good they tend to forget the fact that their main agenda of being a part of an institution is education and education calls for discipline . It ’ s agreeable that every person should be given military training as part of their early education as it not only equips you to take on the world but simultaneously teaches you the value of discipline . As clichéd as it sounds , discipline creates the conducive environment required for intake of knowledge . The goal of a student should be to look presentable and let their skills and intellect do the talking .

Suffice to say , studying at an allgirls college has its perks , the freedom to dress to our fancy being just one of them . This freedom brings about a certain pressure with it . How much is too much ? Will we be looked at differently for dressing to the nines ? Will we be frowned upon for not bothering and dressing down ? In my view , it always depends on oneself . Dressing up , while sometimes a tedious task , generally makes you more approachable and more importantly , makes you happier and is a guaranteed mood changer . Feeling down ? Wear that new pair of rocking jeans and strut your stuff ! Change colors , go bold and notice the subtle changes in yourself . Dressing down , on the other hand , is an all-time favorite because it ’ s hassle-free and nononsense . So , wear that cute jumpsuit or your old sweatshirt and a pair of old , faded jeans , it doesn ’ t matter . Just be comfortable and confident in your skin and it goes a long way .

The inevitable question " Dress up or dress down ?" is certainly highly debated , but what strikes me is the ' need to discuss this '. Why , may I ask , should a girl confine her choices , her personality according to the boundaries of the society ?! Why is she given the label of an " Attention seeker " for loving those tasselled long earrings and some pretty purple lip tint ? or why is she looked down upon by heads held high for choosing to wear her hair up in a knot and no kohl on ? Like every coin has two sides , so does this . The subject and the onlooker . While it is most definitely important for the onlooker to let the girl ' s fashion choices be and look into her credentials , it ' s only fair when the subject chooses to dress according to her surroundings - a sense which only comes after quite a few blunders and fashion faux pas . Everybody is entitled to be forgiven for their mistakes . Everybody has the right of opinion and expression . The thing to do now is the ' way of expressing your opinion '. The world does not need proud , snide remarks . It needs more ' compassionate , light suggestions '. As for the subject , I say " More is More and Less is a bore !" be it dressing up or dressing down , confidence is the key ! and confidence comes from comfort and comfort from the freedom of choice .

According to my view dressing down is congenial , since an educational institution is a place wherein we find people with different backgrounds . Students who cannot afford to dress up might feel down because of the human indigenous to desire for elite things and they might sometimes actually feel scared to get acquainted with people who dress up because of inferiority complex . Students who dress up a lot might sometimes be a distraction to many students , especially in a women ' s college . Sometimes dressing up can turn us into fashion freaks and prey on our academics . On the contrary , dressing down actually gives an appropriate student look . People wouldn ' t hesitate to interact with
