There is a blurry line that delimitates there "intolerent stiff society" from "chaos".
Social norms are also there to keep some coherence in the society. Some should (not can, should) be challenged but how and which is not ready to define.
Ties? Sure. What you wear? Sure. Whether you wear anything? Suu..euuh..re? Whether you wash yourself? We can challenge a bit yeah, but not too much, etc.
I like eccentric people (being a bit one myself) but I also acknowledge that some irrational social norms are needed for cohesion. I cannot quantitively say which ones, though.
