It's all subjective for sure. What I find interesting is that some cultures show a preference for clothes that are (imho) somewhat objectively less comfortable.

It's all subjective for sure. What I find interesting is that some cultures show a preference for clothes that are (imho) somewhat objectively less comfortable. Pants in humid climates. Suits at all. The history behind why things became the norm is interesting. This article shows how America is changing. This isn't a bad or good thing - it's just an interesting thing.
- viraptor 9y agoSome counters to the comfortable / looking good tradeoff - it's not that simple: - higher quality, tailored suits are much more comfortable than simple ones, (or even jeans really) and look slightly better - good kilts look great and are more comfortable to wear than any trousers - humid climates are usually sunny - it's sometimes easier to wear a really light long sleeve / trousers to keep the sun away from skin - very humid climates, like Singapore are so warm people just try to stay inside and almost every place has AC set to ~19°C, so either you're well dressed, or you're cold - look at some pictures of people in Melbourne - casual style there can look way better than suits
