Diverted attention while getting dressed which can lead to incorrectly worn clothing. Causes may include television viewing, use of electronic devices, or conversing/arguing with others while dressing. May result in mismatched socks, unzipped fly, inaccurate buttoning or wardrobe malfunction, etc.
I forgot to put on my belt when getting dressed today. My pants kept falling down. It was a case of distracted dressing.

"Insanity can be cured. Personality disorders are so inextricably entwined with the heart and mind and soul that it is well-nigh impossible to excise them."
-Ann Rule, "Small Sacrifices" page 442
It is preferable to be crazy, since "crazy" can be treated; the conscience can't grow back for the sociopath (antisocial personality), the histrionic can't leave center stage, the narcissist can't leave the mirror, and the borderline personality mainly thinks in "black and white" terms.
