I disagree with this kind of thinking. There are a lot of things that you can do because you think they look good and people will accept the fact that you are confident about it, but there are a lot of things that look really really bad and although you can overcome that will good skill, you are starting way further back in the race than if you took other people's opinions into account.
Say he thinks wearing a clown costume is the coolest shit ever and so he tries to go to the bar wearing one. Well first off, if he could get in (which I highly highly doubt any real establishment would let him in), then he may have the shock appeal, but people are still going to think he's a weirdo and he's gonna have to work 10x harder in order to convince them that he's really just a fun loving guy. Wearing a really dressy outfit to a dive bar is just as bad an idea; I took a student to a rock bar and he wore a nice pinstripe suit and jacket, which resulted in girls I talked to telling me that he looked like he was creepy because of it. I've got a rainbow tuque that I love, but because of society's prejudices it does cause negative effects, so there's exceedingly few instances where I can wear it.
Just cause you are happy with a look, doesn't mean you shouldn't take other's into account, that's just willful ignorance and stubborness. Maybe you're cool walking down the street with your junk hanging out of your zipper, but just cause you're confident and happy with it, doesn't mean that you should take other peoples' reactions, cause if you don't, then you're gonna be called a freak, a pervert and then arrested. Just cause having a bad sense of style isn't illegal, doesn't change the fact that it colours how people feel about you.
