Saying “let anybody wear what they want” is the reason we have teenagers wearing tails and fishnet stockings. Everybody deserves to be taught that personal style and presentation matters. It’s a huge confidence booster when you put a little effort in. I don’t know what your teenage years were like, but clothes matter to me and just about every young person I know. A good sense of fashion tells people you care about your appearance and you’ve made an effort to find your style and dress accordingly. Great for you and your wife, I know a lot of people who don’t try to dress in any special way, they do just fine in life. Style is a personal choice and that’s to be respected, but I enjoy leaving the house with confidence in my conscious clothing choice. My list of “rules” aren’t even that difficult. Just simple things to half remember. I can see why you’d find the tshirt comments mean, but I stand by what I’ve said. Advertising interests which can be considered nerdy does nothing for you when you’re making an effort to dress better.
