One thing I like about being an old married business owner is that I can pretty much wear what ever I want without worrying if I'm being judged by shallow fucks. I could wear a fucking cellphone holster and not worry about the social approbation of the thing, if I fancied a fucking fanny pack I'd go for it with no fucking hesitation.

Advancement in love and business bullshit is one thing but being your own man is fucking priceless, so go spend a few grand and impress some shallow fucks for petty lucre and pussy if that's what pleases you.

When I sell my business I really look forward to being a ditch digger or some other lowly job for a few years so I can also say what ever I want with no fear of consequence.

thenewgreen get in on this bro, it's up your ally.

If you don’t own a coffee shop and are trying to climb the corporate latter, it would be wise to dress well. But you’d probably look pretty silly in a suit at work. If you think of clothing as a tool, you wouldn’t use a hammer to eat your cereal. You wouldn’t wear shorts to a corporate dinner.

mk is fond of saying “nobody trusts a scientist in a suit.” I think he’s right.

I like to dress for the part. I enjoy clothing.

When I sell my business, I’m traveling a ton. I’m buying the most comfortable clothing for air travel :)

I could wear whatever I wanted now. I want to wear the appropriate thing within my aesthetic. 80% of the time that involves a hoodie.
