What’s your most controversial opinion?

I would like to like most people. But they’re just so fucking stupid.

That professional attire is antiquated and stupid … what you wear / how you look doesn’t make you any more or less qualified to do the job.

I’m kinda glad that surgeons wear scrubs. YMMV

Well there’s certain jobs where PPE is required … my job included. But for like, office jobs.., why does it matter what you’re wearing if you sit at a desk ??

So 99% of the time, it doesn’t matter. Hell, being remote I’m usually in jammies or mostly naked. But occasionally, wearing nice clothes as opposed to swim trunks and flip flops matters.

But that’s more about YOUR feeling … if you enjoy that dress up, more power to you. Some people don’t … lots of people have issues with textures, clothing fits, etc … and it shouldn’t be a requirement to be taken seriously based on what you choose to cover your body with.

What about ambassadors? Tshirts and shirts next UN?

Speedos and leather teddies.

No, but it is fun to mind fuck people with fashion

The UN would be so much more fun if António Guterres showed up in a leather teddy

Why not? Is someone less intelligent the minute they don’t have a button-down tshirt?

Of course not, but the impression they present to others can be just as important.

I still don’t understand how a tshirt makes a lesser impression than a button shirt …

It’s the same with hair colours … why shouldn’t someone with purple hair be taken as seriously as someone with brunette hair.

I, for one, am smarter in a button down shirt and tie.
I’m handier in a flannel.
And I’m a better dancer in Lycra tights. (That’s a lie, I’m never a good dancer, but my legs do look pretty good in Lycra.)

I don’t know, they just don’t. Where I work they don’t like tattoos and until very recently anything over 2”x2” had to be covered. No acrylic nails, none natural colored hair, facial hair, piercings etc

I’m with you on the hair color. Or no hair. Facial hair. Tattoos. Piercings. All good.

Isn’t that ridiculous though? … like honestly

I think it depends on the clothes. Because if you just let everybody go to work in a jeans and a t-shirt I don't think it looks as polished. But at the same time. Sometimes uniforms or dressy clothes are a little too much.
I like my nurses in scrubs. I like someone trying to sell me something to look nice.
One person in jeans and t shirt could look good. But their coworkers maybe not. Ill fitting clothes can be a turn off.
