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
