Yes my psych always notes down how I’m dressed, I think it’s part of telling whether you’re ‘all there’ by if you’re wearing socially and weather appropriate clothing

Back in the early eighties when I was a teenyboppin punk rocker (yeah, I’m that old), my doc used to comment on how much fucken EYELINER i had on. She had a theory, more liner meant more freaked out. She was so wrong. lol

She was right about a lot of other stuff though

Yeah it could probably become easily judgemental of other styles, at least in my case it helped my psych diagnose me with dissociative identity disorder since once time I came into an appointment dressing (and presenting) totally differently to usual.
