Do you run a business?

  Not yet :)

  Yes. I never play fancy dress with suits. Formal for me means a nice, comfortable shirt and jeans or other clean trousers. On an average day I wear shorts and sandles because it's damn hot. I wear suits to funerals, and once to a wedding, but even most of the weddings I go to have a "smart casual" vibe them, no full suits required. I rarely meet with investors or anything like that, but when I do, not dressing up is a test. If they judge me for what I wear, beyond basic cleanliness, we're not a good fit for working together.

    Wearing suits in a desert?

      With air conditioning... It's quite a prestige thing to be able to afford the amount of cooling needed to wear a suit in a desert...

I don’t believe you’ve ever been to Dubai if you think that cooling here is in any way a luxury. Your aircon breaking in the summer is treated like a health emergency. Nobody is living without aircon in the summer.

          Yes of course. I meant as an answer to GP, it's not an issue because the whole society is run on the basis of access to air conditioning...

      That's basically what the entire article is about, yes.
