Angela ,
It's not as easy as that , I was a self employed professional photographer for thirty years in a small town , everyone knew me , my clothes were like a uniform . I always wore a suit with collar and tie to cover my weddings ans always had a shirt and tie on in my studio for portrait sittings and meeting customers . I knew on commercial industrial jobs I may have to meet the MD/CEO first , first impressions mattered , I knew it would affecrt my income .
I'm so glad it's all changed and I can put myself out there , it's easier for me but others do have problems and not all of their own making .
Tracii,
Of couse it's true , male flambouyant clothes give a totally different message to most people than colourful female clothes . It's funny how men can be called more effeminate by wearing way out clothes in male mode and yet it's not a problem when wearing female ones . Which way are you more likely to be picked up ?
