laundrymat dress code

everyone's always bumming it at the laundrymat. all the good clothes end up in the washers so what's left to wear? just the bottom of the drawer stuff you don't ever wanna wear anywhere else. the laundrymat happens to be about the only acceptable place for those sorta clothes. i did my laundry tonight, and i decided to wear a shirt i helped paint in. it's covered in paint stains. i could've thrown it out.... i suppose. but it's still comfy so i hang on to it... i rock it around the apartment when i'm straight bumming it or sometimes i'll wear it out to the laundrymat (much like i did tonight).

i wanna live in a world where everyone always dresses how they dress for the laundrymat. when it comes to laundry, people break it down to the bear necessities. is it comfortable? does it hide my boobs from the public? great. all other concerns can be filed under, "i don't give a fuck." how great would it be if everyone everywhere always dressed to be comfortable and didn't give a fuck what anyone else thought about it?

that's the bummer with fashion to me. it all feels forced. like this is what other people seem to like to wear, so i'm gonna wear it too. and the whole thing just seems ridiculous. clothes don't change the man (or the woman), we allow the clothes other people choose to wear to affect how we see them. almost everyone seems to be adhering to some sorta uniform at all times. but if it feels forced, then what's the point?

i think everyone should feel free to dress up anyway they see fit. whatever sorta clothes brings out the most enjoyment or comfort or whatever. whatever makes you happy. we shouldn't be concerned with people looking stylish. we should be concerned with people being so content that it shows at first glance no matter what they're wearing.

but for now, this sorta apparel utopia seems to only exists in the confines of a place where people go to do their laundry. we dress at our most comfortable and casual for a task most people find irritating. it's like the only time there's no shame attached to dressing like this is when we're all in a place where it's more than safe to assume no one has anything better to wear so there's absolutely no reason to judge. but i don't think there should be any reason for us to judge in the first place.
