Summary
Ever had friends who can’t stop critiquing your outfit—even when you’re just casually dressed? One couple, always stylish but never flashy, gets roasted by hosts for their looks at a “casual” dinner… then again at a fancy restaurant. Miss Manners reveals these comments aren’t about fashion—they’re passive-aggressive put-downs disguised as compliments. She offers a clever comeback: “This IS my informal look. I was afraid my formal look would dazzle you.” It’s a reminder that people’s reactions often say more about them than your style.
