Of course conformity is the reason for the suits, but I'd like to point out that if you're wearing suits 5 days a week it would be foolish to not buy a comfortable one. Good materials and a good fit can make for a very comfortable suit.
More comfortable, I dare say, than the casual attire I must wear when working for west coast tech companies, lest I not conform to west coast tech company expectations. T-shirts and hoodies lose their charm when they start to feel like a requirement. Nice silk suit trousers feel nicer than blue-jeans, if they fit well they feel as nice as pajamas, but the looks you get in a west coast tech offices when you wear such clothing are withering.
- sokoloff 7y agoThe (somewhat) new stretch denim (with 1-3% elastane) makes for amazingly comfortable jeans. If you haven't tried a pair, give them a shot.

- catalogia 7y agoFully agree, that's what I wear now. It's a lot more comfortable than traditional denim, but still not quite as comfortable as the silk slacks with elastic wastes that I wear to weddings and whatnot.
- WWLink 7y agoYeah, in an ideal world, I really don't give a damn what my coworkers wear. Seriously. In a less ideal world: As long as management doesn't get the idea to mandate dress clothes or GOD FORBID business casual, I'm fine. Fuck business casual. I will never ever ever ever wear a polo shirt. Polo shirts are for old hairy guys that play golf.
