Scots and Fashion?

To tell you the truth, I have a difficult time understanding fashion. It seems no matter how hard I try, my wife always feels as though she needs to step in and fix my entire outfit.

Matching ties to shoes and belts, and all that other jazz that has become so popular can all be researched on the internet, yet this approach does seem a little mechanical to me. Where is the personalization of it all? Can I not just wear what I want to? Apparently not, according to my wife.
