    I know this isn’t the point, but IMO a suit really is a clown nose.

    Like, you’re tying a little bit of colourful fabric around your neck and letting it dangle down? That’s supposed to look serious? This is the clothing associated with a serious man?

    And you’re wearing a coat that doesn’t close properly? It only has buttons at the bottom, then has the male equivalent of a “boob window” for you to show off your shirt and tie?

    And don’t get me started on how the suit technically has pockets, but you’re not actually supposed to use them because they ruin the look… except for the breast pocket where you’re supposed to put a fully decorative hanky.

    Look at me! I’m conforming! I don’t have independent thoughts! I wear a suit!
