-Man walks in with Motorcycle helmet

• I see this man walk in and set his helmet down at an available spot at a table. He is dressed in very warm clothes including a sweater, North Face vest, and a thick windbreaker shell. He has warm pants and black boots on, as well. He puts on reading glasses and goes to order a coffee.
  • I think that this man might really appreciate a ride on his motorcycle because although it is sunny, it is very cold outside. Just an hour ago the temperature was in the thirties. He must relish the days without rain because they allow him to ride on his bike without getting wet. He must not mind the cold weather and dresses to prevent it from affecting his ride on his motorcycle.
  • Soon, this man takes off his many layers and sits in a plain gray sweatshirt before retrieving his computer from his bag and beginning to work.
    • Based on his attire, I can be lead to believe that this man dresses for necessity, instead of based on fashionable trends. He wore layers to protect himself from the cold outside, and now that he is in the warm coffee house and has shed those layers, his gray sweatshirt leads me to believe that he is not there to impress anybody, but to get work done and to be productive. The style of this man’s attire does not give me any more information. He looks clean which leads me to believe that he is in a good emotional state because unhappy people generally care less about their outer appearance.  Otherwise, I think this man looks like he values comfort when doing work, but doesn’t want to look unkempt or sloppy.

-A woman walks into the coffee house wearing a blue coat that looks very warm. When she takes off her coat, she is wearing a bright gold sweater underneath. She has black, high-waist jeans on and short black boots/booties. Her hair is tied up and she is wearing natural-looking makeup. This woman is dressed fashionably and in a way that flatters her. She looks like she put effort into her outfit this morning.

• From this information, I assume that this woman cares about what other people think of her appearance. I think she must want people to respect her and see that she holds herself confidently. Her hair being tied up in a ponytail make me think that she was also aware that she would be doing work today and didn’t want to put too much effort into her hair when it would be tucked behind her ears or something while she types on her computer.  In addition, she is dressed similarly to many people I see in Eugene. Because of this, I think that she must value fitting in and not standing out too much from the crowd.

– A man walks into the coffee house with blue jeans, a brown corduroy jacket, and a red beanie on. He has a simple t-shirt on underneath the brown jacket and has black Converse All-Stars. His hair is long under his beanie.

• From the way this man looks,  he appears to value his appearance in a way that doesn’t look like he’s trying too hard. His jeans look new and fresh. His jacket looks clean and cared for. His t-shirt has no wrinkles and his shoes are not scuffed. But other than these details, his outfit does not look like it took him too much effort to put together. It is an easy, comfortable look. I wonder if the man wore his beanie because it’s cold out or because he always wears them and it is part of his main wardrobe in the summer as well. I believe this man cares about what people think of him due to the cleanliness of his clothes, but I also think he may not want to look too “overdone” because he doesn’t want to appear to spend too much time on his looks. His long hair underneath his beanie gives the only hint of an “unkempt” look although it does look clean and cared for. I think this man wants to fit into the usual Eugene style as well, not wanting to stand out from the crowd.
