    Everyone cares about aesthetics. “I don’t care about aesthetics” is itself an aesthetic.

    Your looks are part of your personality, we’re not talking about how pretty you are here ; we’re talking about what you express with you looks.

    And what a white t-shirt and jeans expresses is “I’m boring”, or more charitably “I’m normal”. People looking to date look for someone who stands out to them, without being too weird either.

      Boring looks mean “I’m normal”, as you said, which is a very comforting thought for many women. Not everyone is into something extravagant. Many people feel like going for the classics is the safer option. Someone can stand out for you without standing out in the crowd.
