i think looks usually don't matter, but when someone is looking down in the dumps i myself really want to help them, and usually they appreciate the empathy, i only do this with good friends although. also if a shabby person i hardly know i really don't pay much attention to beccause maybe they like being that way, sometimes i used to see thse same people like that everyday and did get to know them and they knew they could dress shabby and i would't judge them. i attended a day treatment place so there were a lot of shabby people who couldn't take care of themselves. as for sharp dressers it is the same for me too.then there are just good days and bad days. fashion doesn't mean everything is ok with someone and people like to dress charistically i think.
