I saw it and it sounds like a load of crap to me. Tell me, just what is it about "nice" clothes in particular that offend your enhanced tactile sensitivity? Acceptable attire for virtually any occasion can generally be found in a variety of styles and materials......if one cares to make the effort to look for them.

Dressing up becomes a psychological problem with some, epecially those who believe in moral relativism -- no right or wrong, no beautiful or ugly (would disagree that Cindy Crawford is prettier than Helen Thomas).

As for those who say nice clothes are "uncomfortable" they most likely have brought the wrong size or a bad fit. All my dressy outfits are comfortable.

Anyone in your family have an Autistic Spectrum Disorder? If not, please don't tell someone who has an ASD that what he says is a "load of crap". Thanks.

Only because you haven't lived it.

Hell if I know -- I'm a chemist, not a neurologist. Ask a neurologist.

BTW, it's not the fact that they're "nice" that makes them unbearable, it's the perverse fact that, in our culture, for some totally sick reason, the higher up the fashion ladder one goes, the more uncomfortable the clothes get (with a few rare, very hard to find, and often expensive exceptions)

Since such cultural definitions are utterly arbitrary, however, jeans and tagless t-shirts could just have easily been designated as "formal" -- in which case the Pharisees of our day would constantly be condemning us for being "hoity-toity", as (in their perception) we'd be arrogantly dressing up when the social occasion didn't require it!!
