I know that some people feel better when they think they look better, but clothes never used to make me feel like I look better. I still don’t really think I look much different in a suit than in jeans, but some people have said I do, so maybe I do. I don’t know.
In any case, wearing nice clothes usually has the opposite effect on my mood. They are so uncomfortable and so hard to keep in place that I often feel like I look ridiculous. I think I look best in jeans. Maybe that’s because some woman told me I had a cute butt. Don’t worry. I didn’t believe her for a second, but it was nice to hear. It’s made me partial to jeans ever since. Hah! Lie! I’ve always been partial to jeans. Maybe a little more so now.
Anyway, the uniform gives people a status and others expect different things from you depending on your status. Hence, your uniform generates these expectations.
A suit is worn by powerful people. So if you wear one, people are more likely to treat you that way, and you are more likely to feel powerful.
It’s like where I work now. Everyone holds doors for me, now. I do believe it is because of the amount of silver in my hair. ;-)
