Do show people dress a certain way?
This is something that happened to me a few months ago, and I am now deciding to put it up as a discussion.
I was in school and walked into my English class, where a student not in my class was talking to the teacher. Just as she was leaving, she turned to me and asked, "Are you in drama class?" "Yes," I replied. "Oh," she said, "because you dress very theatrically."
This leads me to ask, do you think actors (or anyone in show business) dress a certain way?
I suppose it would help if I tell you about how I dress. My basic outfit would be something along the lines of khakis and a shirt, usually black or red. I do differ some times; I never wear blue jeans, but I do own two pairs of black jeans and a pair of gray jeans. I will sometimes where white and black with the gray jeans (usually a white shirt under black short sleeves, which is actually what I was wearing that day, if I recall correctly). A majority of times I will wear all black, which is something I hear a lot of people in show business do. Also, I never wear sweatpants or a sweatshirt.
I mean, I like to look nice, but I never really thought of myself as dressing theatrically.
What do you guys think?

We wear a lot of black. Don't know if that has anything to do with anything.

Yeah, it's mostly black or what's considered "artsy". There's also the "looking nice" thing, too. A lot of people in basically all my classes dress nicely, except on days we're doing physcial warm-ups or whatnot- then it's the yoga pants and tee-shirts.
People know I'm a theatre major because I wear dark wash jeans, black ballet flats, a flowy or artsy-sketchy top and a hat of some sort- usually floppy and black. -

The only woman pretty enough to go without make-up was Elizabeth Taylor and she wore a ton.

Wow, I just realized how chauvinistic that sounds, haha. It's a line from August: Osage County, for those unfamiliar with the play, that wasn't just me being mean.

Everyone knows I'm a theatre person because I always wear jeans and some shirt from a show. :) Either that or a band, but I have mostly show shirts.

I normally end up wearing all black when it gets near laundry time, so people always know i need to wash clothes when i wear blacks for like 4 days...
