to get a job

dressing and acting in certain ways are the way that we express a sense of culture and civility

job/contracts/clients

the same as we want to build things a certain way

How is that not exactly to impress the herd

it's a way of presenting ourselves

I don't mind if it does impress the herd

that means we have a good herd

wait

because I am also impressed by it, and if they too are, then they have my respect

at least in that regard

"suits are good because they impress good people, I can tell they are good because they are impressed by suits"

that is circular reasoning

suits are good because they are good

I didn't say this, I'm sure the herd has bad taste in many things, and good taste in other things

so suits impress you because of their history of association with things you like and are impressed by

haha, no

so what if a guy is muscular, intelligent and heroic, he has a body like Arnold in his prime and he has six billion dollars and owns basically everything, and he wears only togas

what then

should he wear a suit to be more respectable?

they are simply a part of being civilized. We dress well, because we want represent ourselves well

why are suits automatically dressing "well"

for the same reason we build nice architecture

you still have not explained where your value statement comes from

why are suits better than jeans and a hoodie

we care about the way things look

so why is a suit better than a ripped body in a toga

that looks objectively better

not merely their functionality

suits usually hide flabby bodies

ripped body in a ripped toga is best

The suit is one of the most hideous forms of formal dress ever devised by a civilization

a good suit appears, at least to me to be better than casual wear

so you favor suits based on subjective aesthetic preference

I don't disagree with your sentiment of most modern attire

so why is a suit better than a kimono

I prefer khaki's for the most part

why is this http://scene7.josbank.com/is/image/JosBank/20949_001_main?iv=B9vbT3&wid=1370&hei=1750&fit=fit,1

automatically better than this http://brewminate.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Kimono10.jpg

ik, that looks horrible
