All my life, I've always been that lad who hated walking into a room and drawing the attention of everyone in that room towards myself, it always made me feel shy. So I always made it a priority to make sure I was as invincible as possible and was attracting as little attention as I could whenever I did anything.
As I got older though I began to work on this shyness and even though I saw a lot of improvements on my end in different areas of my life, there was nothing I could do about the shyness that comes with public attention so I decided that instead of trying to overcome something I didn't know how to, I was going to approach it with an old method, the method of invincibility.
I remember asking a lady friend of mine what super power she always wished she had and she had said the power of invincibility, and her reason was because she hated the way men would look at her whenever she walked down the street to go buy something. It always made her feel like they all could see through her clothes and that is why whenever she wanted to go buy something, she always ask one of us, her friends to walk with her. It made her feel safe and secure but, I digressed.
Due to my shyness and not wanting to draw attention to myself, my love for wearing something simple got to an all time high. I always made sure whenever I left home that I wasn't putting on clothes that had vibrant colours (something I call loud colors) because when I do, people always noticed me whenever I walk past them and that was the last thing I wanted.
A t-shirt, pants and some pair of shoes and probably a face cap every now and then was all I needed to look good. I couldn't even wear glasses just for fashion because even that made me feel seen and I didn't want that. And due to how simple my fashion sense was, it always made it easier for me to pick out an outfit for whatever occasion.
I recently went to the market to get a lot of shorts than usual and this is because I decided about some months back that I would only wear shorts when I'm at home and would wear trousers when I plan on going out. That decision has made my dressing up a hundred times much more easier to do because I'm always at home eighty percent of the time and even before I'm done taking my bath, I already know what short and what top I'm putting on for that day.
Do I plan on changing the way I dress now? Not in a million years. I enjoy the freedom and comfort my dressing style gives to me and I don't plan on changing that. I've always been a guy who loves doing things in a simple way and not complicate things and the way I dress says a lot about me, simple and free.
