I didn't read all the replies so this may be a repeat.
I think it's a matter of personal taste/preference and men are not held to the same standard that women usually are so they generally have more "wiggle room" in this regard.
For me, it's just as annoying for someone to be so "stuck" on a style that they can't move pass that. We took the kids (at the time all of them were toddlers) to a friend's house to celebrate Easter one year and the husband was wearing his usual dry cleaned slacks and cashmere long-sleeved button down. Fast forward about ten minutes...he spent the rest of the day complaining about the fact that the dry cleaner would not be able to remove food dye.
To all those who wonder about how others can dress this way or that way and then want to fit the whole discussion into looking attractive for the opposite sex: Perhaps a lot of the people you see and wonder about are already attached to a member of the opposite sex and therefore do not need to worry about "first impressions".
And some of us couldn't care less what the opposite sex thinks, because we're attached to someone of the same sex
The point is though is that if a woman looks at a guy and says hes a "bum" cause hes got on a tshirt(I didnt say with a band name on it) and shorts, she has the thought that he doesn't have money. Which means, again, to me, that she has a shallowness to her.
You wear your boat shoes and I'll wear my running shoes, call it even.
I'll add that I, on the surface, may look a little "bummy" with jeans and T-shirts, but I earn high 5 figures, have 5 figures in the bank, have 6 figures in 401k's/pensions.
I can clean up when needed, but prefer to keep it casual.
Not doing any attempt at bragging, just as another member further up the thread said, "don't judge a book by it's cover."
I'm guessing a judge looks at financial statements rather than clothing.
I agree and was not successful in getting the person/s to understand this. I know one woman that went to the IRS "dressed down" for the same purpose. They have legal access to EVERYTHING. <shrugs>
