Any way you can make it a game? Or a challenge somehow, "Can we do it quickly?"
Give him some options, pants first or shirt first.

My kid turns three in a few days and he's recently started fussing about everything at random. "I can't! I can't!!!" It's making my wife crazy. The last few times he gets himself wound up and then sends himself to his room. He then calms down and is his normal sweet self again. I'm hoping it's mostly because he's just finishing up a bad cold and not going to be a consistent thing.

I'm going to answer no, but then again I've never actually made mine get dressed, either. He's spent his entire life wearing a diaper or a pair of underwear and a shirt - anything else got added because he wanted to wear it or because we were leaving the house. I don't wear a lot of clothes either (tank top and underwear, most of the time) unless we're going somewhere or we have someone over.
Maybe my husband and I are freaks. :/

To each their own, I guess some people like hanging around the house in their skivvies, their deal not mine! I hate seeing kids in nothing but diapers though, gives me the impression of abject poverty.
I just gave Gabi the option between 2 shirts or 2 pants or something. Like someone else said, make it a game, that could work too.

That's what I did. She got to choose what she was going to wear and when she was dressed, she could come out of her room. Until she did so, she was stuck in there by herself, which I can't imagine was much fun.

Nic just turned 3 and she's very defiant right now, too. I see a pattern!!!
And I did the choice thing with my kids and it worked well. Don't be surprised if he wants to pick out his own clothes one day. Let him. Whatever he wants. And let him go out that way, too. My daughter came up with a few doozies, but I was proud she picked everything out herself, it was worth letting her out dressed like that. Lol!
Good luck

Same here, Varece. My daughter put some rather strange outfits together, but she went out just as she was and I was proud of her for taking the initiative to get dressed all by herself.
She never wore velcro shoes, either. She's known how to tie her shoes since before she was 2.

Aime's three and she has gone through that Jekyll and Hyde thing for a few months now. Giving her choices works and when she gets really stubborn and whiny about something seemingly insignificant, distracting her and making her laugh seems to work as well. When she first started brushing her teeth by herself with no help, she suddenly decided she didn't want to anymore. I went to the store and bought her about 3 extra toothbrushes in different colors and one that makes music for her to choose from and we haven't had a problem since.
I still have problems with her taking her shoes and socks off at daycare and in the car, though.

Maddy is the hippie girl around here. I can't keep shoes or socks on her for anything. Fuzzy zip up jammies for the win
