A nice pressed blue suit is really off putting to me.

I think it's similar to why come people are put off by clowns? Like they're wearing a mask and are hiding something.

Paranoid, huh!

    even the new corpo-style of polos and outdoor vests kinda gives me the creeps

    anyone that wants to signal class like that, even if they are just trying to fit in at work, just comes off as sus to me

    unless there's an explicit dress code that is required, it just seems to me to be very similar to boot-licking

    utilitarian uniforms and such are fine since they are signaling working class vibes, but these PMC uniforms are dreadful

      Oh yeah, this reminds me of a paper I read about the ikeamen that parade themselves in their factories in Mexico. I think it was about a Volvo factory and the tall white Swedish polo shirt wearing, equality exhuming men who go there to exploit workers.

        I hate polo shirts with a burning passion. When I’m supreme leader of earth they will be banned and the people who pushed them will be persecuted.

        Do you want to wear something incredibly ugly and unflattering that also makes you look like a corporate tool? No? What if it was also uncomfortable?

          That is better than I could have ever put it. At least dress shirts, if they fit right, are generally comfortable and flattering.
