1. "Dressed disgustingly"
Coral velvet pajama pants or cotton pants embroidered with large flowers, cotton socks that cover the trouser legs with a pair of high heels or boots that show the surface, a short down jacket over the long pajamas, and cotton shoes or cotton slippers, and all the clothes that can be worn on the body so that the jacket is a hooded sweatshirt inside, a knitted jacket inside the sweatshirt, a sweater inside the knitted jacket, a base layer inside the sweater, and a pajama pants inside the skirt on the lower body, and autumn pants under the pajama pants......
On the social platform of the holiday, young people have shown their "bloated" posture and amazing outfits.
In the comment area, someone comforted him jokingly: "Please, this is a miracle warm and high-score outfit", but the more appropriate comment is obviously this comment: "There is a feeling of wearing all the free skins in the game".
This "visual feast" that gathers dressing techniques such as mixing and matching, layering, etc., is called winter, to be precise, the winter after college students return to the village.
Different from the exquisiteness in school, after returning home during the winter vacation, college students used cotton clothes, pajamas, scarves, headscarves, high heels and other props to show amazing dressing skills - they either looked more like middle-aged and elderly people than their parents, grandparents, or basically the same as homeless people, or as if they lived in a small county town twenty years ago, and the soil was extreme.
Whether it is my mother, friends, or the aunt at the entrance of the village, as well as netizens who have never known each other, they all took a breath of cold air when they saw this, and unanimously commented: "It's disgusting to dress so well."
This "disgusting" probably stems from the contrast between the body that swells because of wearing too much clothing and the parts that are not particularly "armed", such as a pair of slender ankles under the huge body, and the confusion caused by the lack of attention to matching and aesthetics, such as wearing cotton pants under a short skirt, a bear hat with a leopard print cotton suit, and red socks with leather shoes.
It can be said that at this moment, some images that have never been imagined are displayed in front of everyone offline or online.
Of course, in addition to the college students who returned to the village, there were also migrant workers who did not admit defeat to join this trend of "dressing more disgusting than anyone else".
Judging from the current situation, although the majority of migrant workers dress equally casually, focusing on what they have at hand, the final effect is still less visual impact than that of college students: they will not go out in a full set of pajamas, at most they use a cheesy color, no version of the multi-pocket cotton clothes with gray sweatpants, and a pair of shoes that have not been brushed for a long time, and then wear a hat, Disposable masks and scarves, only showing their eyes, look like just an ordinary person who is not so fashionable, and the only ones who can show an unusual mental state are probably the hair that is curled up casually, more messy than when you just woke up, and cotton socks of various colors and patterns under the open shoes.
Of course, when it comes to wearing disgusting, I have to mention the source that makes this statement widely known: when a blogger named "AAA Pig Feed Wholesale Sister Zhu" shared her work experience in recent years in early September 2023, she mentioned that she had to wear flesh-colored velvet pants and fleece shoes to work under a red work uniform because the tea house she worked in did not turn on the heating and air conditioning in winter, so she was scolded by the boss for wearing disgusting clothes.
And netizens who used to laugh because of this stalk are now "understanding, becoming, and transcending", and they are gone on the road of "wearing disgusting".
2. "Work-related injury"
Under the video of the migrant worker posting his disgusting outfit to work, there will always be such a high-praise comment: "Before: This dress is ugly, don't wear it anymore, now: This dress is ugly, keep it for work." Echoing it is the dark cuffs of the workers, "I don't want to wash even if the iron is struck". It can be seen how much the workers don't care about the image when they go to work.
In the comments on related content, some people mentioned that they don't even bother to wash their faces at work, and after getting up, wipe their eyes with a towel or face towel, brush their teeth, and go out directly;
And this disgusting wind also blew on the interns.
The specific performance is: pilling sweater + striped wide-leg pants + old yellowed sneakers, pink sweatshirt + beige jacket + brown suit pants, high-necked black cotton jacket + skinny jeans + yellow cotton shoes and so on.
On Xiaohongshu, someone bluntly said: "The clothes that I didn't wear in school are all worn in the company, and I am grateful for the internship so that I can continue to have the opportunity to wear these disgusting clothes."
In addition to this, they also have similar "symptoms" as regular employees - gradually becoming too lazy to dress up.
"A jacket is worn for a week, it will not be rotten or changed" "The first day of the internship: comb your hair, tie your hair, apply lipstick, the second day: comb your hair, tie your hair at the elevator door, apply lipstick, the third day: comb your hair, tie your hair in the elevator, the fourth day: comb your hair, tie your hair at the workstation and eat breakfast, and the fifth day: wash your face. ”
The reason for this is probably the "root of all evil" of going to work.
As we all know, even if you go to work for a day, you will be contaminated with the "smell of class", which is a substance that can make people lose their enthusiasm for life and love for the world, which cannot be seen or touched, but it has invisibly affected countless people.
The main symptom of "class smell" is fatigue, because going to work consumes too much energy for people.
In the second half of 2023, the discussion about "going to work exhausts the 'cultural physical strength' of migrant workers, so that they can only see all kinds of 'cultural garbage'" has aroused the attention and sympathy of many people.
The best interpretation of the weakening of cultural physical strength at work is the male protagonist of the Japanese movie "Bouquet of Love". He was originally a literary young man who loved literature, comics, and movies, so he was with the heroine who had the same hobbies, but after graduating from college, out of the pressure of survival and the ideas of both parents, he had to give up his dream of painting and find a job. The intensity of this job is very high, he has no time to watch movies with his girlfriend, and he can't read books, so he can only play mobile games. In the end, the two drifted apart, and his love with his girlfriend came to an end.
Many people see themselves in him - "I used to read literary masterpieces, but now I only watch Tik Tok", "I could read a lot of books when I was in school, but now I can't, and I don't even have patience for long videos"......
"No one can maintain rational thinking under long-term mechanical labor", so mobile games, cool texts, bloody TV series, and short videos have replaced online games, serious literature, and in-depth TV dramas and movies that require concentration and thinking, and have become after-work pastimes.
Disgusting outfits, I was also dumped by young people to go to work. Not only the cultural physical strength, but also the various physical strengths of other aspects of the workers are declining, and they can only cope with other things other than work.
This is a "work-related injury".
3. Comfort zone
is also a disgusting outfit, and the temperament of a migrant worker in the city is completely different from that of a college student who returns to his hometown.
If the body of the migrant worker exudes the atmosphere of lovelessness, the latter wears this style with confidence and style.
Unlike migrant workers who simply face the camera and use subtitles to introduce outfits, they will pose in various poses and show every detail and intention with great interest.
They also deliberately matched different styles of disgusting outfits for different scenes and requirements: when sitting and chatting, lying on the bed and brushing Tik Tok, wearing floral cotton jackets, big cotton pants, and red socks, casual and warm; when doing housework, they put on aprons and cotton vests, and rubber gloves, focusing on a practical one; when they work outside, they need to wear hats and gloves, and match a dark cotton jacket and cotton pants, which are light and dirt-resistant and wear-resistant; and if you need to go out to buy things, it is very necessary to dress up like your parents or even grandmothers- Guarantee that you won't be slaughtered, and even negotiate the lowest price, which usually requires props such as middle-aged and elderly knitted hats, red gloves, brightly colored cotton clothes, and embroidered cotton pants.
This wild and uninhibited outfit makes parents and grandparents become much younger and more fashionable in comparison.
Of course, this is also in exchange for the result that parents are reluctant to go out to meet people with them because they dislike or are afraid of embarrassment, just like the situation ridiculed by netizens: "Neighbor's aunt: This is your daughter? Aunt Neighbor: My daughter still has a watch? Your mother: Besides, it's yours." But in the face of these discussions and doubts about their own outfits, they firmly believed: "You don't understand."
In the cold winter, the familiar hometown, a set of warm and simple outfits is their comfort zone.
While you can always see stories on the internet of people fleeing their families of origin, for many people, home is a place to relax. When you get home, even if you can help with things, eating ready-made meals, sleeping until you wake up naturally, rarely going out, and lying in bed and scrolling on your phone are still the daily routine of most people, so when it comes to clothing, just keep it comfortable.
And hometown also means a familiar environment and familiar people. So even if you go out, you don't have to dress up brightly: on the one hand, everyone knows each other's personalities and experiences better, and rarely judges others based on their appearance, even if they dress disgustingly, they don't have to worry about their image plummeting;
For example, the "provincial uniforms" of various provinces: red aprons in Sichuan and Chongqing, short-sleeved shorts flip-flops in Guangdong, and military coats in Shandong......
The most famous of these provincial uniforms is the Hunan provincial uniform, which is a thick cotton loungewear and sometimes a pair of sleeves. The reason why it is so well known on the Internet is that the level of "popularity" is so high - every winter, the streets and alleys of most parts of Hunan are filled with people wearing this outfit. Whether it's at home or going out, this outfit is the first choice of the people of Hunan, who said: "Wearing this outfit can enter any place you can go."
If the provincial uniforms of each province are formed in response to the various needs of the locals in winter, then the disgusting outfit is the result of a more personalized creation of young people on the basis of meeting the needs of comfort and warmth, and they can enjoy life without fear of other people's eyes.
How is it not a comfort zone?
