> One day you’ll find yourself wearing shorts. Fair enough, it’s probably hot out. One day you’ll also find yourself wearing a t-shirt. Again, fair enough. Unless you’re playing a sport, however, you will not be wearing the two together because you’re also no longer a ten-year-old boy.

Yikes, OK boomer

Appearances matter, are you rejecting the notion of style and fashion completely or just disagreeing with this specific advice?
Style and fashion are 80% personality, 20% clothing. You can be well dressed, but if you have the personality of a cardboard cutout, no one is going to remember you, or that you were dressed fashionably when they met you.

Also, just because you aren't wearing a t-shirt doesn't mean that what you are wearing is stylish. This 'tip' is just phrased in an annoyingly paternalistic way.

I don't agree with that number split but even if it were true you realize 1/5th is a lot right? 20% is the difference between an A and a C grade
Why do you use that insult? It's likely they're just from NYC or something.
It's the internetz' eye-roll, shorts are perfectly fine in nyc.
I've gotten stare downs for wearing a sweater at the wrong season there. Shorts are fine anywhere in the right crowd but east cost well to do people are very snobbish and strict about that stuff. They only wear shorts at the hamptons or florida lol. My point was don't assume it's an age thing.
