To all the posters on this thread saying zero or something low on the scale, are you those old guys I see walking around with bermuda shorts and colored knee-socks?
Good one.

The whole "paying attention to your clothing is gay" thing went out of style either in the early 90s or in middle school, I'm not sure which (I was in middle school in the early 90s).
If you don't take pride in your appearance, that's your own shortcoming. Don't project onto others just because you're a slob.
For a man?How he looks should matter when he wants it to and not matter when he doesn't, just like everything else.
7 for everyday walk around.
10 for racing.
I would say 10 but it really isn't that hard. Just go to bonobos or j crew (maybe one really high end place like Thomas pink)- buy one good pair of work pants, one good pair of khakis and one pair of dark jeans. Then buy a solid light blue, solid white and gingham or stripped shirt. Buy a decent pair of loafers. just make sure the stuff fits
YOU CAN WEAR THIS STUFF ANY TIME IN ANY CITY AND IT ISNT THAT EXPENSIVE. follow gq or bonobos on Instagram for tips. You can buy shirts as cheap as $50 that are stylish. If you are over the age of 25 you just look like a bum if you don't. Also the people that say it doesn't matter are probably not that successful so they have nothing to dress up for.

This should be sufficient to make the case dress matters. Don't be dishonest about it, but work on looking good.

Anyone who thinks a Kardashian is the epitome of style does not deserve an answer.
Rich and/or famous? 0.0
Otherwise a sliding scale depending on looks and desperation.
If you make over $80k per year you should prob care

I'll let her know when I need a jacket and tie or whatever.
We've gotten to the point where when I travel she packs my bag and I just grab it and go.
I've never asked her to do this, it's just what she likes to do. Plus I'm basically a slob and she wants me to be presentable.
Oh my god this is the dream.
That would be a nightmare to me. To give up control regarding how you look and dress would not be something I would want or could even understand.
To each there own.
Fashionable rarely means stylish.

The whole "paying attention to your clothing" thing is, was, and always will be the domain of those whose words, stature and actions carry no weight. Traditionally this has been where one found primarily women and gay men. In the last few decades more and more "men" have been unable to make a mark as actual men - lacking in gravitas, intelligence and achievement - and so have turned to the role historically played by women.
This is easily confirmed by simply looking at the women of action throughout history. Though few and far between they shared one characteristic with each other (and with real men) - they did not give a rat's ass about "style".
If you have no achievements or capabilities to speak of, that's your own shortcoming. Don't project onto others just because you are a woman (and an unimpressive one at that) underneath it all.
The answer is n - 2.
n=how much your SO cares about style/fashion on a scale of 1-10.
If your SO is a 7, you should be a 5. If she is a 10, you better be an 8- no more, no less.

Well said.
Fellow runners I sincerely apologise for this in advance. Unfortunately I am on nodding terms with this guy. He is an 11.

My own thoughts are that a guy should be above some threshold that is fairly low, maybe a 4-6, and after that his time and money is better spent on other things (gym, running, learning, working, gaining a skill, travel, etc). What say you?
Its depends how you frame this issue. Is the question more about how concerned you are with the latest fashion fads or is it more how important is it to you to look good. Both would get different responses.
Went to a wedding in Noo Hampshuh, guy there wore old Carhartts, flannel shirt, and he was a big hit with the college girls from Boston. He had a lot wilder night than the groom.
Clothes make the man?
Just a different fashion. Some hic town us still following a fashion
