My husband won’t stop wearing band tees with holes in them. He’s a tech executive. I keep telling him showing up on zoom like that isn’t doing him any favors. Man doesn’t care. Can’t help but respect his convictions.

As a programmer, I’d trust a tech exec with a scruffy beard and/or wearing dilapidated band shirts over some guy with nice clothes and an impeccable shave any day of the week. You’re right that it probably doesn’t help him with other execs or finance guys though
I am a chief engineer in a national governement agency where I live. I am pretty specialized with 20 years experience.
Every day in a hoodie is a win.
But there is something in the fact that if you show up in a shirt, suit/ suit trousers and a sweather you show respect for the people you are meeting.
Meeting someone and they did not even care enough about the meeting to wear something “decent”
The problem with real ripped jeans, at least with all of mine, is that they usually come apart at the knees and the hole tends to expand downward every time you put them on and your big toe snags into the hole, which makes them impractical and bad looking in the long run, compared to “designed” holes that may also be reinforced so you don’t accidentally make them larger when putting the pants on.
I’m still wearing clothes with holes in them. It’s not fair, if someone buys brand new ripped jeans that’s “fashion,” but if I do it I’m a “slob.”

Why not sew the holes? When washing the laundry I check all clothes, pile them alone and do quick stiching.
If working in a professional career while wearing a band tshirt is wrong, then I don’t want to be right.
Depends on the Bands really…

holes are only fashionable if you paids 100s or 1000s for them. not if you created them yourself
Gotta learn the art of tastefully slobbish. The secret is
Spoiler
Money
Also, be hot
Be rich.
Your fucked up clothes go much further if you see extra stitching and fabric. The way it drapes.
Cheap plastic clothes look like shit new or fucked up.
No the secret is not caring enough to
