Although I do clean up nice, I have no qualms about roaming around town dressed like an escaped mental patient/college student. But it seems that, to normal people, “casual” is a lot less causal than I would like it to be.

And so, the FancyPants Scale has been born. Rather than rating how fancy the restaurants are, we will be showing how fancy YOU will have to be to blend in. No longer will you have to call your friends to see what they’re wearing. We’ve got it covered – so from now on, you will notice that all of our pieces (old ones will be updated over the next few weeks) will feature the following ratings system (which does not rate the establishment’s food):

	There’s no one here to impress. Just be yourself, even if that means you in your flannel pajamas.
	It’s a relaxed setting. Stroll in after work or in your oldest pair of jeans. It’s all good.
	Dress to impress but don’t look like you’re trying to hard. Think “accidentally” running into your ex.
	Put on something uncomfortable. Beauty hurts.
	Maybe there really is a use for the outfit you wore to your cousin’s wedding.
