Boot cut jeans (man):

Skinny jeans (woman):

Skinny jeans (man):

Tattoos:

My impression with most of what others wear is who cares.
It isn't me nor my child nor my business.

My impression is usually not always consistent with the items.
It depends on how they carry themselves.

A man can wear power suit but act with no manner then I will think the power suit is probably something he wears to portray certain image, aka wannabe. (Yes a little bit judgmental on that but I have to admit we all do have that in ourselves! Also that's all this thread all about no? Being judgmental on what one's wear)
For the same token, some girls can wear pajamas to grocery store and I would just think "Oh, how cute! They must have girls night-out. They decide to haul last minute ice cream for movie night"...
