Eccentric dress style

Do many of you have an eccentric dress style?

People they see me in my corduroy trousers, button-up shirt, camel coat and fedora hat and give me dirty looks, stare and make aggressive body movements. I in turn become nervous sometimes and start pacing or looking all around, then have to leave an area and go somewhere else. I could dress as casually as most people but wouldn't feel right.

I find most conversations and interactions with people too informal for my taste so dressing more formally is my way of signalling to people I don't do modern casual informal conversations well.

  • Hello,

    yes, I do dress differently to others and I get the same treatment as you which is not nice. It is chilly here today and so I wrap up well with a base layer and a few layers to keep me warm and top off with a trapers hat which always gains comments but I prefer to keep warm. What gives others the right to dictate what you should wear? We are all individuals so please be your self and do not give in to such bad treatment.
