Yea I don’t believe this is true at all.
I'm a man and I do this. I'm actually eating lunch rn with a shirt with holes in them. I don't mind. And if somebody does mind, I see it kinda as their problem, not mine :)
As someone married to someone like you, sometimes it's inappropriate, but that is absolutely my problem and not his.
Tell that to my dad with his bin of t-shirt cut cleaning rags
I have dress shirts that can buy cigarettes, but they don't make them like this anymore. Well stitched, natural fabric is so soft after years of use. The logo is worn off, but the designer turned out to be a racist so that works for me.
It's so painfully true that it feels incredibly awkward to read.
I'm literally wearing one of my favorite old T shirts that has so many holes the neck and shoulder seams are the only things really holding it together and my most destroyed pair of old jeans right now because we're doing some painting and home repairs. And they both used to be "home clothes" until my gf started shaming me for wearing them.
I was lowkey happy to get an excuse to wear them in public on the unavoidable last-minute supply run to the home improvement store.
Edit : I also got pissed at my mom for throwing away another old t-shirt because it was slightly too small, mildly discolored and only had one (admittedly pretty big) hole. It was still a perfectly fine "home t-shirt" ! She didn't even make a rag out of it because they already have more than enough from my dad's old clothes.
