Fast fashion is also very harsh on the environment. There is a lot of waste in fast fashion. Much better to buy a smaller number of well-made articles of clothing and take care of them. If you have clothing tailored to fit you well, you will look and feel like a million bucks. It doesn't hurt that you may also become more attractive to the opposite sex. It's the same with personal hygiene and good grooming: it is first and foremost an aid to better health, both physical and mental, and second, a simple way of conveying to the outside world that you are a dependable, social and happy person. However, based on my observations of men, particularly younger men, in software, I have to say they are very poor at taking good care of themselves, physically or mentally, despite a lot of talk about mental health. Most of the folks in tech, and commenting on this article are likely men in their twenties, and men in that age group do not care very much about their outfits. They also do not have good grooming habits, probably because no one thought to drill it into them at a young age. I have also noticed that if a person in engineering dresses well, he begins to stand out and attract negative attention and comments from his peers, which can discourage even tentative attempts at improving himself in this department (most men in the engineering side of this profession are somewhat shy and reserved to begin with).
