When I tell people that only lawyers wear suits in Hawaii they don't believe me. Don't know if still going on but the legislature was pushing the courts to discourage the use of suits as well.
On top of all your reasons, it's just too hot and humid year round in Hawaii to wear a suit regularly. Must be pure misery for the people who have to.

- TheGRS 8y agoI grew up in Hawaii and my Dad was a federal agent, he previously worked in DC and Philly before we moved there, he still wore aloha shirts to work because it was just the normal thing to do there. Can't help but agree with it either, its always nice. Why tie yourself down with a suit? (pun intended)

- Semirhage 8y agoI don’t know, New York in August makes it pretty unpleasant to wear a suit. Actually it’s unpleasant just to try and breathe... it’s like huffing hummus. Of course Florida in August is downright fatal. I think fashion just doesn’t care.
- inferiorhuman 8y agoTake a look at the pictures from the Trump-Kim summit in Singapore. I was amazed both Trump and Kim survived being outdoors in that humidity while in a suit. I figured someone of their girth would be sweating bullets seconds after stepping out of doors.
- Turing_Machine 8y ago> New York in August makes it pretty unpleasant to wear a suit. As Neal Stephenson has observed, the three-piece wool suit makes perfect sense if you're in a place where the year-round temperature is a constant 50 degrees F, indoors and out. Basically, the British Isles before modern central heating, and nowhere else.
- TheGRS 8y agoIts also hard to deny that a well-fitted suit just looks good though.
- blanderman 8y agoI think they look antiquated. I'd prefer never to wear clothing that needs to be treated with harsh chemicals.
