What’s your honest opinion...

[BillieBlack]

If you saw a young adolescent male with long hair (past shoulders), rose gold glasses, and a pink coat what would think? Honestly.

Erm, nothing? Probably wouldn’t even notice unless I liked the coat?

Not a lot. I rarely think much about others appearance, too busy concentrating on my own issues and what people think of me!

I like the sound of rose gold glasses; I quite want some myself

Nothing really. What are we meant to think?

The only reason I'd think it was odd would be if someone I knew suddenly changed to that style. If it was a stranger I don't think I'd have an opinion (past 'I want your coat' anyway).

I might wonder how warm the coat was

I work in a Uni and I'd probably assume he was one of my students :)

Nice coat? I don't really notice peoples clothes or hair unless I particularly like the style.

That's a lewk

I'd think 'There's a young adolescent male with long hair (past shoulders), rose gold glasses, and a pink coat.'

What would you think, OP?

Probably think he looked quite cool tbh. Or I wouldn’t think anything, because I don’t really spend any time assessing strangers’ appearance

Well, I was hoping no one would care as my son wants a pink coat (although I’m struggling to find one his size as he also wants it to be fluffy inside). But there is resistance from family members who think it would make people think he was a girl/trans. There is also the worry he would be a target for bullies (he’s already bullied). Yes, his glasses are lovely!

I wouldn't really think about it much, honestly.

I would think 'look at that guy, he must be really brave and confident'

I think the type of people who would care will definitely notice and care, unfortunately. But most people won't, most people are.fairly nice and fairly.polite imo.

what age is he ?

I would think he was arty or a musician.

i'm asking because i'm surprised you are buying his clothes for him.
even as a xmas present, wouldn't it be safer to give him money to buy his own clothes, so he can't complain about choice, size.

My son likes pink and I buy him pink clothes - pjs, fleece, t-shirts etc. But he's only 8 so easier to find stuff and probably people are less judgemental. He's got a pink jacket, from Mountain Warehouse but it's not fluffy, haven't seen anything that meets that description.

Nothing really, it'd be his choice. The people who would judge him don't matter.

i think it's totally irrelevant what other people may think.

Super cool he knows his own style and can rock it! But I really like pink as a colour anyway to be fair!

I wouldn't think much of it but other kids/teenagers might but they'll be assholes anyway, I imagine your son will rock it :)

If I noticed and cared at all, I would likely covet the coat. If it’s what he wants to wear he should

I would steer my sons away if I had them less they caught 'the gay'. Then I would put down my banjo, clasp my 14 fingers and pray for him to be shown the error of his individuality, and beseech the Lord to bless him with more manly taste.

Is that a valuable opinion? Because most people won't even notice, and if anyone does care are their thoughts something worth considering?
