In reality, outward dress and inward reverence and respect are not the same thing. Outward dress does not guarantee or even indicate true reverence and respect. God looks on the heart. Reverence and respect is not something you can buy at Wal-Mart or even the most exclusive men's or women's clothiers. It comes from the heart, if it's there at all. If it's not there, clothing will not change that. I think the proper guidance would be to encourage people to sincerely ask God to direct them in their choice of attire, and to go no further than insisting that modesty and respect for others must be included in the choices made, out of respect for others.

I never said that "outward dress and inward reverence" were the same thing. I agree with that point. I would say one thing in addition to what you wrote. That is, if a person feels that it is irreverent to either dress up or dress down, they should not go against their feelings without a well thought out reason.
