Hall’s Rule of Social Order #107 |
You’re only as dressed up as your least formal article of clothing. More specifically, you can’t dress up sports gear. A football jersey with a sports coat and tie underneath is still a football jersey. A sweater vest with warm up pants is still warm up pants. You’re basically a walking contradiction. That, or you’re just too clueless to commit to one or the other.

Good question…I’m going to say yes, only visible. The question then becomes “how visible?” I’m a fan of wearing a certain pair of “dress” socks with alien head stitched all over them. It gives my outfit character, I think…but perhaps it is negating my formal-ness…

Does this apply to only clothes that are visible? Like, say, if I was wearing an Armani tux but clown boxers? Please discuss.
