You're purveying a false dichotomy by saying that you can either dress well (and be successful) or dress like a slob (and not be successful). That's a false dichotomy. It's possible to be successful and dress casually, much in the same way that you can dress nicely and go nowhere (Car salesmen).
I personally support merit. I think people should be judged based on their merit, and not pedigree. Pedigree is nothing short of vanity. No one is trying to 'damn the man', we're just saying that individuals should be free to be individuals, and shouldn't have to be punished for it. This is individualism. Saying that you must live up to societies standards and accept and covet what is deemed 'acceptable' according to society is collectivism.
