I personally haven't met anybody who, given the choice, prefers looking like a disheveled slob.

I prefer wearing gym shorts to slacks. If that preference qualifies as "wanting to look like a disheveled slob," then a large fraction of the population wants to look like a disheveled slob.

More generally, I prefer not to worry about things like brands of clothing.

It's fine that others do. I'd agree you didn't say anything controversial or offensive. But, fashion isn't for everyone.

I don't think there's any argument about that.

Any man, over 20-22, that wears "gym shorts" casually looks like a disheveled slob.

Well fitting clothes are comfortable too. You don't need to get brand name items either. There's nothing wrong with not caring about fashion - indeed, people shouldn't be judging others negatively just because of fashion. However, why not also look good? It can benefit the social aspect of your life a lot, by giving you some added confidence. So if you're looking to improve that part of your life, dressing well is a good place to start.
