I’m all for dressing unconventionally. We have free will, and not enough of us use it. Unless you’re at an event or a job that requires a specific dress code, I say go all out. It expresses our individuality and sense of self. As someone who was made to wear a uniform for much of my childhood, I can definitely appreciate the chance to dress however I please. It can help you feel good about yourself as you go about your day. 

You know this if you’ve ever left the house in an ensemble you didn’t like. It can really mess with your self-image, messes with your mood, and might make you miserable. Clothes aren’t just clothes, they’re the way we telegraph to the world what type of person we are, and when someone else tries to step in and control that, it can feel like a slap in the face to our identities.
