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!

    As someone who masks as this man for work sometimes you definitely should be. I often quite literally feel like a sheep in wolfs clothing around these kinds of dudes. I say this as today I literally dropped the collared shirt and put on a tie dye to go to a queer polyamory group in my area. Those dudes are absolutely not to be trusted and if capitalism didn't force me to pretend to like them I absolutely would smash their faces in

      Maybe they’re all masking, saying the same thing to their friends right now, including the face-smashing part. Which suit will win? Find out next week.

    If a man under 25 wears a collar when he isn't forced to, kill him with hammers

    People who overdress (highly situation dependent) are trying to differentiate themselves from the lower socioeconomic class. You are right to be afraid.

    I interned at a bank and met the guys aspiring to be men in suits. This is a good call.

    One thing I'm very proud of is that I project a kind of Slovenliness Field around myself wherever I go that lowers standards and makes people care less about their job. I destroy workplace discipline. It even affects electronics.

    Suits can be pretty cool but there are different types of suits and each end of the Suit Vibes Scale

    Clean blue/nacy pressed suit: evil, rancid vibes

    Suit jacket and shirt with jeans: stop that, ew

    Plain black suit: pretty cool

    Saul Goodman ass suits with ten different colours: beautiful

    I would feel different about someone wearing an old-timey suit lenin-laugh, though a greater proportion of people wore suits then

    Then again that person might be a g-g-g-ghost and scare me a different way scared
