<p>StanfordCS depends on the kind of plaid. </p>
<p>Anyways I agree with phanta in that there are many fashions for guys. Depending on the day, I may look like an athlete, a tank-top bro, a polo bro, a hipster, a hippie, a normal guy, a country boy, a flamboyant gay guy, a 90s wannabe, and a stoner (plus some occasionally more outrageous stuff). Of those, one or two (at most) might stick out. And none in a bad way imo. </p>
<p>I can’t vouch for a suit and tie though. People will wear them, but there is almost always an occasion. Which makes me think you’d be looked at differently if you wore a suit and tie every day.</p>
