The document discusses the author's fashion faux pas of wearing a "Canadian tuxedo", which is denim jeans paired with a denim shirt. Though the outfit is widely frowned upon, the author defends their choice, having felt comfortable in the look while living in New York City where unconventional styles are embraced. Upon wearing the denim-on-denim outfit to meet friends in Richmond, Virginia, the author's friends reacted negatively but the author remained proud of their fashion choice, advocating for others to ignore norms and wear what makes them feel confident.
