21. Are the jeans clean?
It could be argued that insisting people dress up could be a classist assumption, i.e., you have the income to buy and maintain nice clothes. Or it could be that many people just think they look better in jeans than anything else. Or perhaps they don't show their esteem for the graduates/bride and bridegroom/whatever through dress but through personal interaction.

I have a "friend" who has hurt me numerous times by saying I don't care how I look merely because I don't wear make-up or dye my hair. Make-up makes me break out and takes forever to put on, so I prefer life without it. I'd hate to make the same assumptions about people just because their lives are made easier by what they choose to wear to what *others* deem a formal event.
