What??? I got shoes, I got socks, I got a shirt. I got pants, I got a hat. You think Mildred down the block is gonna lure me into her parlor and have her way with me?
I can only think of one occasion when a woman I was with dissed my outfit. We were going to a tacky party and it wasn’t tacky enough. Stopped at Goodwill and got a Hawaiian shirt.
My wife would call that my “tacky tourist” outfit. I just suggest it is “mildly” eccentric… and I am “ok” with that… I have earned enough grey hairs to be able to be a bit eccentric if I want. :)
I remember one of the few trips I took to the beach with my parents. We had this old Jeepster, and Dad, who always had a full head of dark hair, complained of his hair blowing into his eyes as he drove. He borrowed one of my ‘hippy dippy’ silk scarves, and tied it over his hair, pirate style. My sister and I were mortified. Mom’s response was – ‘People will just think we are rich enough to be eccentric.’ Not rich, but old enough- certainly.

It’s like he went through Jon Arbuckle’s rummage sale.

Ugly Christmas sweaters are acceptable. Clothing that clashes not so much.

By today’s standards of hoodies, ponytails, and PJ pants, he’s practically Beau Brummel.

Everyone is entitled to his/her personal sense of style – even if it looks like they got dressed at Goodwill in the dark.

Why not? Neighborhood could use a good laugh.
