Today is the day I realized Hacker News has jumped the shark. Plus, I realized just how many more readers it has that are either women or are homosexual men. :)

Seriously, this whole thread reads like Cosmo magazine. (Oh, do dish! You go girl, tell it! I only wear Gabana. Yellow goes bad with red. Hoodies are to die for. Anyone that matches a Denillo with a Gucci something-or-rather is a fashion disaster! I'm going to tell all you people how to dress because I have mastered it -- did I mention I'm only 20? OMGBBQ!!!)
- csytan 17y agoI disagree. I think this is a perfect topic for HN; Dressing well is important in improving self confidence, and it is vital in making good first impressions (useful for VC funding ;). If this doesn't make sense to you, think of how you perceive a website on your first visit. Would you use a service with a design that had been slapped together in a few hours? It's the same with people. Being sloppily dressed conveys an image of laziness and carelessness. One thing I enjoy on HN is discussions which may not be related to programming or start-ups. It's interesting to hear how hackers approach problems in other areas of their life. That being said, I'll gladly listen to fashion advice from those who have the experience to offer it, even if they are women or homosexual men.
