Is it normal to be ashamed of taking care of my appearance?

Sometimes, I feel bad about taking care of my appearance beyond the basics (things like hygiene and whatnot), because I feel like it would make me vain if I actually put effort into my appearance. I also don't feel like I should take care of my appearance too much, because I feel like that would be akin to putting diamonds on doodoo.

    It doesen't have to be vain. Your appearance can be a way to express yourself. A supermodel and a punk both put a lot of thought into how they look and it tells you a story about them.
    When I started wearing the clothes I liked, gettin a haircut I thought looked cool (As a man, sadly that's all we get to do about our appearance) it gave me a lot more confidence. Not because I'm any prettier than before, but because I actually like my style. And if others don't like it - Who cares.
    Your canvas is yours alone. You paint whatever you want to show the world. And if that is minimalist, that's okay too.
