I do have a tailored suit. I rather kick a rock and break my foot then wear it.
They fucking suck absolutely and people who enjoy them are fucked in the head.
Comment on Why don’t tech bros wear suits?

Granted, but that’s not my problem with them.
For one, I’m the weirdo wearing shorts in winter. Dunno if if call it a sensory issue, but I hate the feeling of long pants on my lower legs. I only tolerate it if I’m going to be outside more than a few minutes at a time.
Secondly, I have almost a religious level of intolerance for ties of any kind. This one I’m more apt to call a sensory issue. I HATE feeling anything on my throat, and buttoning that top button will result in me complaining about it. And the tie itself reinforces that strangling feeling, and I just absolutely hate how they look on top of it. Ties of all kinds are one of the things on the top of my personal list of instant red button issues. (And by that I mean the list of things that will send me from chilling straight into actual rage mode)
Also the cuffs give me a smaller dose of that same problem.
No judgement for others wearing em, but if you expect me to then your on my shit list immediately.
Thirdly, they feel more delicate than “normal” clothes, so I feel like I have to be hypervigilant at all times about damaging them or them getting dirty. And the material is so thin I can’t stand it.
Everything else I wear is boring and all goes in the same laundry loads (no sorting lights and darks- even saying that feels racist). But it means paying attention how it’s washed and shit. I don’t got time to learn or care about that.
All the ones I’ve written had white shirts, and that annoys tf outta me, but wouldn’t be a problem if they were more regular attire.
I hate the jacket as well. The squareness of the shoulders really skeeves me out. The only jackets I ever wear are hoodies. If it’s cold enough to wear pants I might upgrade to a heavier one, but it’s so rare that I can’t remember the last time I had to do that. I also hate the look of dress pants and dress shirt without the jacket, so it’s just bad no matter what. But my jack needs to be kinda amorphous. (Not sure that’s the right word, but you get the idea I hope)
The last 3 of 4 times I had to dress up were so rentals, so the shoes were a problem for me too. The socks were annoying, but just a small part. But given the shoes not being mine, they’re never broken in to my feet, so there’s that.
I also almost always wear sandals, so having socks or any does on is less than optimal.
Sure, maybe I dress like a slob, but I’m comfortable and until you can find a reason to give af, I’ll stay like that. I live in absolute terror of having a job with a uniform.
So it’s not the lack of tailoring that’s the problem. That might make it 3% better.
