I’m her younger sister. We dress like polar opposites and I find it weird to be around when I’m with her in public. She’s one of the nicest people ever but she has very much the look. She’s dressed head to toe in North Face, wears Nike tns, cross body bag and North Face cap. Sometimes she uses slang like keep it lemon and she’s been dressing like this since she was a teen and hanged out with roadmen. I’m worried people could get the wrong impression and I did tell her when I’m out with you it’s kinda embarassing it looks like you’re about to film a Drill video plus she’s too old to be a roadman. She said, it’s what I’m comfortable with and used to. I asked her if she identifies as a roadman and she shrugged and said, I guess so. She doesn’t mind being seen as one. She’s white and she also walks with a bit of a swagger too. Am I the asshole for saying I feel a bit embarrassed by all this?

YTA for not accepting her as she is.

let your sister dress however she wants. I’m in my 50s, and I’m still dressed like how I dressed when I’m in college. and you know what? so many ppl are surprised whenever I said my age because they thought I’m much younger.
If your sister is not acting her age, childish, throwing tantrums, etc, etc THEN I can understand if you’re embarrassed.
just because someone is in their 30s it doesn’t mean they can’t express themselves in they choices of clothes.
you need to get your mindset out of the shell.
YTA. Frankly you sound snobby. I am proud of your sister for being comfortable in her own skin.
YTA, let her dress how she pleases.
YTA. She can dress however the hell she wants if it makes her happy. if it makes you uncomfortable that’s a YOU problem, not a reason to give her shit.
YTA. Why can’t you accept this adult for who she is?
YTA
I don’t know what a roadman is, but I do know what a snobby AH is.
YTA. Are you still a teen? I can’t imagine caring so much about the way another adult dresses. She’s not hurting anyone.
YTA I just googled wtf a roadman is and that’s just normal everyday clothes? I can’t turn around in my office without hitting an executive with a north face vest on. You’re just looking for an excuse to be “embarrassed” it sounds like.
If how she dresses bothers you, it’s more your problem than it is hers. I really doubt people around care about your sister’s clothes as much as you. You should ask yourself why it bothers/embarrasses you so much since it obviously sits on something, if it didn’t you wouldn’t have cared.
To answer your question, yes YTA.
YTA she is allowed to like what she likes and express herself with whatever dress choices and vocabulary she chooses.

I had to look up what this is. It’s streetwear. You’re more embarrassing by being so insecure and immature about what other people wear, especially when it’s just normal clothing.
Girl, your sister sounds like a legend. YTA. Let her be; she’s happy and paid.
I’ll be honest I have no idea what most of the slang you used in this meant. And I’m not going to look it up. What I do know is your sister dresses like somebody who’s outdoorsy and comfortable in their own skin. I also know what snob looks like. That one I am familiar with and I have a feeling you are too
