Workout clothes for class Forum

[Poldy]

I'm not sure how you think my argument is about what people where in law school classes. I'm arguing about what people should wear all the time. It isn't just about job prospects and that hasn't been what I've been talking about at all.

Well, people probably assumed, since the thread is actually about what to wear to class and all...

What you should wear all the time covers class as well. It's in my posts, I don't know why someone would try to argue with me without reading what I've said...

People are reading what you wrote. They just disagree.

And this doesn't really matter too much outside of formal settings. Sure, some people including you value a more formal presentation than whatever clothes are the most comfortable. That's cool but the standard you hold is a minority view. I've worn running clothes in every non-formal setting since junior high and it hasn't harmed my network, job opportunities, academic opportunities, or anything else really. Beyond whatever impact my attire has had on my first impression, my actual conduct has always mattered much more.

You can wish it was different all you want but the bottom line is that the way you dress is important. This thread is full of people who have obviously never been professionals before. It's time to grow up. You don't have to wear a suit and tie every day but you shouldn't be wearing gym clothes either.

The fact that people are disagreeing ITT shows that there will be people in your class who will have different views about whether gym clothes are appropriate. And OP wouldn't have asked this question is he/she didn't care what other people thought. So basically: some people will care, others won't. Make up your own mind as to whether you give a shit what they think. I say this as someone who dressed slightly more casually than most of my classmates.

Just lol@ judging classmates for how they dress, how they handle cold calls, or their grades.

I actually sleep in a tux in case I ever need to impress burglars or firefighters.

If you're attractive you'll still be attractive wearing shorts and a tee

Thanks bro, now I'm blushing

[UnicornHunter]

Just don't look like a slob.

Workout clothes are fine, as long as they fit well, are clean, and leave plenty to the imagination. There's a dude in my class who wears gym clothes to class and I get embarrased for him- you can see every role of body fat on his ample body through his skin tight white t-shirts with logos like "reps for jesus" on them.

also it's incredibly ironic that you've never been in law school before, yet you're calling out people for having "obviously never been professionals before"

PSA: " Ironic" =/= "stupid"

0Ls asserting crap without foundation is pretty much the norm here. So not ironic.

I see you have difficulties with recognizing experience can come from outside law school as well. You calling someone stupid here is actually a pretty good example of irony for your PSA.

if you wear workout clothes to class, just don't give a shit if someone thinks it's slobby

if you have idiotic opinions about how everyone else should dress, just don't give a shit when we call you out on being idiotic

also is this actually in the on-topics? i don't believe you

I almost edited my original post from ironic to hypocritical but didn't care enough.

(No it isn't). Also if you have no experience with law school classes then you can't comment on them as well as people who have been in them. ESPECIALLY when what is really being asked is 'what's the norm?'

So many people look up to you Diqueless. Can't lead the poor lambs astray.

I think Bopeep ended this thread quite nicely

We are done here guys, let's go argue about what happens if you don't wear Park Aves or panty hose or something

I'm good with this.

I think a lot of us judge classmates on how they handle cold-calls. I care a lot more about who a person is than how articulate they are but, like many of my classmates, I can tell when people aren't prepared and are trying to BS. I'm not going to like them any less as a person but if they are consistently unprepared in class, I might not be willing to stick my neck out for that person like I would for a person I know works their ass off.

But that's just my opinion on the matter. As far as grades go, I tend to keep that to myself unless someone directly asks. I think most people do. Law school grades don't measure intelligence and I don't get a kick out of bragging about my grades. I don't know if other law schools are the same but at mine, if you tell a few people something, word will get around. It's a lot like high school...a lot of gossiping.

Wear whatever the fuck you want. Jesus - this thread is great for finding out who the douchebags are on here.

Stick your neck out? What are you even talking about?

No one ITT matters, we are insignificant ants. Cogs in a machine. Nobody cares about our necks.

It's neither here no there but I respect someone who blows off reading way more than the 5 highlighter briefing gunners who rock cold calls.

This thread delivered more than its potential.

As in recommending them for a job.

Why do you respect that person more? If they're not doing their work in law school, how can you feel confident they'll work hard in the real world?

I see the people who have blown off the reading in order to do more important things as exactly the people I want to work with. Especially if they're still kicking ass grades-wise and such. I'd rather you be good enough to do the minimum to get where you want to be in life and spend the rest of your time also maximizing that goal. In my case, for example, I do very little reading or briefing and spend a ton of time networking with sports execs and front office personnel because that's where I want to go in life.

Well, I wish you luck on that. I think that would be a great and fulfilling career.

That all said, I want the people that can do both. I don't want people that choose not to do work because they have more important priorities. Yes, prioritizing work is important...especially in law. But blowing work off is a different story.

Some will say that it's law school so it doesn't matter. And they're right to a degree. But until I know that person will work their butt off in the real world, I am going to have my doubts about them if they don't work hard in law school.
