> Clothing is not only functional, it can also help your appearance. Looking good does wonders for your mood. Sex appeal and all that.
I would bet good money this was written by a straight man, but have you ever considered there's also butch lesbians working in blue collar jobs that have wardrobes which are primarily composed of functional, rugged clothing, often in dark colors that don't meet your requirement of getting dates and having sex appeal?
not just one segment of society (straight cis male HN reading six figure job guys who don't put effort into dressing themselves) wears something other than what your societal expecations think they should to not be "shitty" and "cheap".
your comment itself is peak HN...
