Circlotron:
There is an excellent Facebook page called Dull Men's Club (to which I subscribe, BTW) You need to go and have a look.

As the son of an engineering nerd, and now an adult engineering nerd myself, I understand the inclination to disregard stuff like what your clothes look like. But I can also say that leaving the house looking like a homeless person with your clothes falling apart has actual consequences whether you want to accept or acknowledge that yourself or not.
No one is saying you need to buy and wear whatever expensive high fashion currently has on the red carpet/runway. But for the sake of your family and any organizations you may happen to represent, just put in the minimum effort to not look like a bum. We can pretty much all accept that being the guy with poor hygiene that smells bad all the time isn't ok. (Being a working professional and still..) Walking around with holes in your worn out clothes isn't much better (insert "distressed" jeans counter argument here). Claiming you are "saving the environment" or "fighting capitalism" is not a valid justification. If you solve complicated engineering problems for a living you should also be capable of periodically finding a Target and buying a new minimum basic set of clothes.
/rant off
::edit:: I'm not sure why I need to say this, but it should be obvious I'm not here making any sort of statement about what should or shouldn't be acceptable for ACTUAL homeless people to wear, or do, or anything related to that.

Without making a stand on if those sorts of laws are good or bad.....
If you are an actual engineer, with a job, and you are at all at risk of being mistaken for an actual homeless person and therefore in danger of something like this, then you brought that on yourself :(
