I see you, @Ineedahugortwo.
So glad you’re here.
🐵
If one was to show up in a suit I’d think they need to freshen up.
Nope, It makes no difference. Im a very neutral person and I provide the same attention and care for all my snuggle buggles:3
The only time you should be wearing a suit is like when you’re doing a job interview, otherwise you should be in casual clothes for a cuddle sesh.
When I show up in a suit I have been told “I expect you to cuddle Mr. Bond.”
I still remember, way back when, finishing up in school. We were preparing for interviews, so I tried on my suit, looked in the mirror, and said to myself, "Damn it. I look good in a suit."
It didn't give me a confidence boost, though. Being that formal makes me feel a little out of place.
To me, if you arrive to a cuddle dressed in a suit, that means that you might ask your cuddler if you can take off the suit and just cuddle in your underwear. Nice try but NO!
I myself just dress as I normally would anyway (t-shirt and shorts/jeans depending on temperature) and bring a change of clothes to cuddle in. I will say that if I planned to cuddle days in advance the only sort of way it would influence my clothing is possibly what's on the shirt. I don't want to give any false negative impressions based on the fact that I may be wearing a metal band shirt or a sarcastic shirt, so when cuddling I'll usually wear something more neutral or nicer like a snoopy shirt, linux shirt, Mega Man X shirt, Mr. Rogers shirt, or something "non-scary/sarcastic". I don't know if anyone would appreciate me wearing the one shirt I have that says "I got out of bed for this?" 😂 when I'm going to cuddle someone. I don't think I'd wear the shirt I have on right now to cuddle (Leprosy by the band Death with "interesting" lyric quotes on the back of it) unless it's someone who I knew for a while. That being said there have been a few times where a cuddle wasn't planned out in advance and I happened to be wearing a metal shirt. The one that sticks in my mind was when I came wearing an Iron Maiden shirt and I was hoping they wouldn't look at me funny. The reaction I got was not what I expected. I was asked if I actually listen to them or if I'm just wearing it because it looks trendy or something (The 'ol "Name three songs!" type of vibe), so I explained that they're one of my top 6 favorite bands and I listen to metal regularly. That actually made the cuddle more comfortable since I found something somewhat in common. But a suit nah I can't see why that would give nicer treatment and I hate wearing suits and do so only when it's absolutely required for something. I usually pack a pair of pajama shorts and new t-shirt with me but once I can't believe I forgot to bring shorts so thankfully that pro had an extra pair of clean men's sweatpants for me to use and all was good.
@CSnMUS87 You can probably guess how I'd react if you were wearing an Iron Maiden shirt.
Side note, last time I talked to someone about the band shirt they were wearing, I assumed they were a fan. Turned out, they just liked the shirt.
@IronicMaiden Well I'd purposely find one of my Iron Maiden shirts in your case 😁.
I guess I don't understand that since I only buy band shirts of bands I like.
@CSnMUS87 I would be delighted if you showed up in a sarcastic shirt. And the "I got out of bed for this?" one is perfect for cuddling! 😁 I wish I had the confidence to wear that one.

@ShaneSchrute thank you!
@MonkeyNeedsAHug Hi there!!! 👋 Trying to catch up (I’m seriously so behind 😆). Glad to be back and glad to see you here too!
@SunsetSnuggles I'm so glad that we get to dress so casually at work. I've actually worn that one a few times, but since my office is in hidden the back (just the way I like it) it's not like most clients will see that anyway. I honestly have so many t-shirts that I could go over a month or two without washing any and not run out. I try to go through wearing each one before I repeat wearing them, unless it's a special one like "Bowling Ball Z" sometimes when I go bowling, or the one for my uncle's store when I help him with his booth at conventions.
I remember having to wear a suit on Mondays when I had a remote job. I just wore pajama pants with that though and kept the camera above my waist at all times. Now that's a time when I was required to dress to impress. For cuddling, no need.
