I 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.
