Woman Asks Reddit Users If She Is TA For Wearing The Same Dress As The Bridesmaids At A Wedding

We have seen it all in the movies and heard some jokes about it, but we never thought it would happen in real life. If you haven't guessed it by now, we're talking about girls disliking each other for wearing the same dress.

Men are supposed to dress similarly. It wasn't always like this, but it has been for the past century or so.

Women now have the freedom, as well as the obligation, to dress differently. They have more colors, fabrics, styles, and even types of clothing to choose from than men, who must wear pants and cannot select from various dresses, skirts, pants, leggings, and other items in varying lengths and degrees of tightness.

There are so many alternatives that two women wearing the same clothing would be unusual. People would ask about their dress coordination if they planned it and wore the same thing.

It would be more noticeable if they were attending the same event where they were expected to dress more flamboyantly and expensively, such as a formal dance, but it would draw the same unwanted attention as two guys wearing the same T-shirt.

It's just that men would not make it such a big deal; on the contrary, it is mostly the women wearing the same dress who would, hence it would be more noticeable and remembered. Women's exaggerated behavior stems from the fact that they are often more insecure and feel that if someone wears the same outfit, one might overshadow the other.

We should learn to overcome our insecurities, especially regarding outward beauty and our clothes. Don't get angry if you see someone wearing the same thing as you; instead, be happy that your choice was good enough that others are wearing it too.
