Look at it this way…As you form an image of who you are and where you are going, your parents have long since done this. As adults it is easy for us to get set in our opinions, and try to shape others as we go. Your clothes, you feelings about them, and the image that you are trying to present must be alarming or frightening to them, therefore they are putting their foot down. Instant reaction. Try, as others have suggested, to meet them halfway on this, let them warm up to it (if they can) or at least let them see that you are who they think you are…not what your clothes are expressing; dark, black, and other ideas associated with types of clothing. WE all know that the book is not known by its cover, but it is your job to lead them into that book/image, so they know and understand where you are coming from. It is a pretty noticeable form of dress, and many people have reactions to it. Just let them warm up to it and get their feet on the ground with where you are going and who you are. Think about what and why they might be reacting.
