Disagree. I've been into Men's Fashion for about a year now and most menswear stores dress men like shit.

It's really hard to figure out your style, fit, and the items that compliment it but a man that has done that work communicates a lot IMHO. It's a holistic picture.

If it's clear you've put thought into something whether it's your body, your written or spoken words, your "costume", your app design, or your code design; that communicates far more than just selecting for anyone not wearing something casual.

I used to use a similar process for finding employees: cast my net for Haskell / Scala / Erlang and I'll find the best programmers. While that bias held true to a degree it also excludes a large swath of people that might actually be a better fit, my failing there is not developing a multi-dimensional and rigorous process for finding and vetting.
