Poor George Will doesn't like so many people wearing jeans for almost all occasions. See "Demon Denim", George Will, Washington Post, 2009-04-16
He called it an "obnoxious misuse of freedom" and other diatribes. He doesn't like the undifferentiated look. Now look in the back page of a company annual report. If it weren't for the women on the board, everybody would look a lot a like. The suits of the men look undifferentiated all dark gray or blue, maybe with different colors of ties.
Will confesses to having a single pair of jeans. I confess to having one suit (pin-striped), a tweed jacket, a camel jacket, and several pairs of slacks. I will wear them if I feel I must, but I avoid wearing them. I much prefer my blue jeans for almost all occasions. They are comfortable and not baggy; if I get them dirty they are easily washable. And if I tear them, they become strictly work clothes.
I guess George Will wants us to go back to the undifferentiated time when all men wore suits and wore fedora hats. That time was an obnoxious misuse of conformity.
