Geographic area: I live in Southern California where standards for dress are pretty eclectic, loose, and permissive. That's in a general sense, of course.
Social class/specific job dress codes: Especially the job dress codes can vary a lot and can be strict or loose.
I am 70 and prefer to dress professionally (tie) when meeting the public in an official capacity; I am old-fashioned that way. However, if I am going to the supermarket or a (non-fancy) neighborhood restaurant, I may well wear tennis shoes (running shoes) and a baseball cap. Why not? It is common in Southern California.
When I go to a Los Angeles Master Chorale concert at Disney Hall in downtown Los Angeles I wear a coat and a tie, thus conforming to the dress of the majority. (No "gym shoes and baseball cap there!)
It's always funny how everything goes back to dating and relationships. Do you get dressed everyday thinking about what random men who you've never met will think of you?
Go over to Relationships and you will see nothing but complaining.
And no, I don't think about random men, but if I dressed like a frumpy cow every day of my life and never did anything to look attractive to the opposite sex, do you think I would be in the right complaining that men never noticed me?
How a person dresses does send a message to people around them, even if that message is "I don't give a rat's a$$."

The relationships board is not the center of the universe and is at best to real world relationships what a cooking for dummies book is to a renowned gourmet chef in Italy.
The problem with this whole assumption is that every woman in the world is the same and places the exact same priority on fashion and clothing when they look for a man that you do. And nothing could be more wrong. Many times couples will look like inverse gender counter parts of each other.

I never assumed anything much less claimed it outright. I said generally women over a certain age - hardly speaking for every woman every where. Remember what they say about assumptions...

Opposites attract. Im 32, and if a woman doesn't want to talk to me because Im walking around wearing a T-shirt, Dickies shorts, and running shoes. Shes too shallow for me.

And what does she have to look like for you to notice her?
It goes both ways.
