- swombat 16y agoSeems to me the sweatsuit is pushing it a bit far. Appearance makes a difference to all sorts of things in life, from communication effectiveness to general well-being. Try making yourself look good - you'll feel better on the inside too. However, it's definitely possible to go a fair bit cheaper than all this branded trash. Then again, the clothing industry has done a good job of making it hard to buy good-looking clothes for cheap. PS: Also worth pointing out that the sense of style of the poster is somewhat dubious.
- spydez 16y agoI feel worse on the inside when situations call for a suit. The best I've felt "on the inside" was back in college, when my wardrobe was a t-shirt, shorts, and flip-flops. I do not feel better inside now that my dress code has been forced up to business casual.

- martythemaniak 16y agoOP's option. If you're like the subject in the story, you'll likely see far more benefit from a new, proper wardrobe than from even more gadgetry.
