Do you think the "Netflix look" is more genuine?

You know I thought the same thing, since I'm from the same area.

 

It is a "look" more true to humanity's origins, ironically*.















* I know, I'm not using that term correctly. What term should I use? "Funnily?"

 

I agree with that. However, I hate sweatpants. They typically do not have pockets which I require. Hair in a messy bun? Not for me either. This seems like what I would wear if I had the flu. The only thing I agree with here is not wearing makeup, which I don't do, ever, except for maybe concealer if needed or something like that.
It's not quite as annoying as the pajamas and bunny slippers in public thing. That absolutely drives me NUTS.

 

I work in retail and the amount of people (men and women) I see come into work to shop in PJs that are clearly (and I mean CLEARLY) not even wearing underwear is just *shudder*.

I don't mean to shame. I really don't. But I just can't help it. Please at least get dressed when out in public. No one really wants to see your jiggly bits flopping all over the place at the grocery store.

 

I prefer the terms "relaxed" or "comfortable". "Netflix look" sounds waaaay too hipster, not to mention it'll be outdated if another service takes over.

This is what it boils down to. If you and I are in a relationship, you're going to be sexy to me, whatever you look like. It's that attitude and personality that turns me on, which can always be utilized. While I'm not opposed to looking fancy, make up doesn't make cuddles better or shower time more fun, it has a time and a place.

I think what appeals to me about somebody baring themselves, be it a lack of make up or more casual clothes, is that they are comfortable -- in a confident way -- about themselves, because they know they look good 24/7 (to those who matter, and do not hold them to ridiculous or hyper-level standards)... and if they forget that, I'll make sure to remind them.

Because you let go of what the world wants/expects and, actually, embrace yourself. There's a difference in being a mess and being comfortable. It's nice to just kick back and relax, instead of worrying about living up to standards, practical or not. It demonstrates a sense of independence and of control, two things that are almost always welcomed (to me, at least).

Of course, if you don't have the right attitude, it doesn't really matter what you wear. You'll simply be however you feel.

 

This reminds me, I did wear my footy PJs with the skulls on them to a local Tavern once, but it's by an art college, so they just thought it was funny. But they fit well, and were not baggy! Still, I just like to be comfortable. It was late, we lived close, and it felt somehow liberating. If people here don't think I'm weird by now, they never will!

 

I would imagine it depends very on much on each person. Never heard it called the Netflix look either but I understood what you meant.

I wouldn't walk around in what amounts to pjs, but that's me. I'm not bothered by others who do it, such as my sister but hey she wears capes sometimes as well....

 

I don't know if it's more genuine, because that implies the "put-together," makeup-and-smart-clothes look is fake.

It's worth noting that we live in France... and when I was in high school, yeah, I saw some girls with this "Netflix look," but now I only see it when lounging on the couch with my roommates. Most girls are make-up, nice skirt or jeans, heels, etc, whenever they need to set one foot out the door.
I never wear make-up. On weekends, I'm most comfortable barefoot, with loose hair or in a (non-messy) bun, in sweatpants and a t-shirt that's not too tight. Because sweatpants are comfy. My girlfriend is the same way -- I think she'd live in sweatpants if she could get away with it.

So don't get me wrong -- I like the look. I love the look. But I don't think there's a point to arguing what is more "genuine." You should dress the way you feel most comfortable.


Also, I don't have Netflix.

 

I think it's fine, unless it becomes the "dragged backwards through a hedge" look.

If I'm unkempt, then I feel gross and I can't stand it. I usually look presentable, even if I'm just going to the shop at 4 am, when the place is almost empty. Hell, I was raised to believe that I'd get flesh eating bugs, if I didn't shower often enough.

 

When I'm around my friends the morning after a party or a night out, and everyone is in dressing gowns with messed up hair and practically dead it can altogether feel pretty genuine, when compared to how the night started with everyone in their nice clothes and hair fixed up etc.
As for people wearing PJs and the likes in public, I really don't see why that should bother anyone unless they're being unhygienic in some way..
