Nowadays, "relaxation" has become a buzzword, and shopping in pajamas seems to be labeled as "fashionable". A man in Chengdu recently appeared on the street in pajamas, which sparked heated discussions among netizens. Although he is dressed up in a fancy way, it is more like he is winning attention and labeling the "sense of relaxation" as a "pseudo-girl".
At the same time, Taikoo Li's "Internet celebrities" are also engaging in some "no lower limit" outfits to attract attention. How should we think about the relationship between the pursuit of individuality and eye-catching?" Does "freedom of dress" mean doing whatever you want? A series of questions deserve our deep consideration.
When "relaxation" becomes a label, can we do whatever we want?
Recently, a video went viral of a man in purple silk pajamas and a fisherman's hat wandering leisurely through the streets of Chengdu. The man was dressed in a fancy way, with a necklace around his neck and large earrings on his ears.
He carried a paper bag with "Versace" written on it in one hand, and as he walked, he waved hello and kissed passers-by. This man sparked heated discussions among netizens, some said he was pursuing individuality, and some said he was too showy.
In recent years, "stay-at-home" and "lazy style" have become popular, and shopping in pajamas has also become a manifestation of "relaxation". I still remember that during the epidemic, many white-collar workers began to work from home and hold video conferences in pajamas. For a time, pajamas became synonymous with loungewear. But wouldn't it be too casual to go out in your pajamas?
Indeed, "relaxation" becomes a label, representing an attitude of slow life. But as a state of mind, it should not be an excuse to do whatever you want. Shopping in pajamas can certainly give people a laid-back, laid-back feel, but the occasion should be appropriate.
The state of "home" cannot be brought to the public. In public places, what we dress can have an impact on others, and being too casual can cause distress to others.
The man's attire was clearly beyond the scope of "relaxation" and more like a deliberate attempt to create a topic. Silk pajamas are mixed and matched with various sparkling accessories, and the style is not uniform. His walking posture is extremely contrived, insisting on creating a bewitching temperament.
It's not just about "relaxation", it's more about attracting attention. Pajamas are supposed to give people a sense of reassurance, but he deliberately renders a nondescript beauty. This kind of contrived "individuality" weakens the original meaning of pajamas, and also wastes the meaning of "relaxation".
A similar situation is not only with this man. Chengdu Taikoo Li is also home to a group of so-called "influencers" who wear cool and revealing costumes and perform on the streets.
The reason why these "Internet celebrities" are eye-catching is mainly because they deliberately create topics to gain traffic. Not only do they dress beyond the bottom line of freedom to dress, but they are also consuming the buzzword "relaxation".
Freedom of dress and ethical bottom line
"Freedom to dress" is everyone's right, but public ethics cannot be disregarded. The development of science and technology has accelerated the speed of information dissemination unprecedentedly, and some so-called "Internet celebrities" do not hesitate to have an ethical bottom line in order to attract attention. Their actions are tantamount to defying the law and may have a negative impact on minors.
It is true that individuality should be respected, but overly flamboyant individuality is also prone to controversy. American sociologist Michael Sartori once pointed out that the manifestation of personality needs to take into account the feelings of others, not only consider oneself, let alone deliberately touch the bottom line of public ethics. Therefore, when it comes to dressing, we need to pay attention to two aspects:
Consider the occasion. Pajamas are suitable for wearing at home, but not so well for appearing in public. Just like we don't go to the mall or restaurant in our pajamas, we also need to consider whether it will cause discomfort to others when we go out on the street.
Consider ethics. Even the pursuit of individuality needs to be built on a moral bottom line. Excessively revealing or deliberately challenging conventional attire is likely to be detrimental to the public interest and should be avoided.
Of course, "ethics" is not static. Different eras and different cultures have their own norms. But at least in the current environment, we need to be mindful of the impact of individual expression on social ethics. The so-called freedom of dress still needs to be carried out on the premise of not harming others and not breaking the law.
Run-in personality and look at the "sense of relaxation" rationally
"Relaxation" reflects people's need for a leisurely life, but it is just a mentality and a fashion label, and should not be a reason to do whatever you want. Personality expression also needs to be reasonable, not just impulsive.
Not being surprised is the real "sense of relaxation". We need to learn to calmly face all kinds of new things, and use reason and humor to look at all kinds of unconventional personality expressions.
Pajama men and Taikoo Li girls may be too ostentatious in the current environment, but we don't have to be too angry or nervous. This requires a process in which all sectors of society can gradually reach new norms and tacit understanding through discussions.
The ideal society needs to be inclusive of individuality, but individuality also needs self-discipline. Only when individuality and ethics, freedom and responsibility are balanced, can we have a true sense of "relaxation".
This requires the efforts of each of us, as well as the accumulation of time. Let's refine the connotation of the fashion word "relaxation" and make it point to a positive, optimistic and inclusive attitude towards life.
