I'm done with suits and ties. Fk em completely. I'm not dressing up in a monkey suit for
anything.
My mom's friend made me a convert to completely ignoring dress-up conventions (and I always had a loose grip on them, anyway). She wore basically a Hawaiian shirt to my mom's funeral. She said she was there to celebrate her friend. I respected the crap out of that. Shout out Lois.
My friend just died and I wore Vans to his funeral (bought them new so they looked good; not just some old dusty things from the closet). We met skateboarding in grade 6, so fk it, I'm not wearing some lame-ass dress shoes to make fashion nerds happy. I'm there for my friend and we had nothing but fun together for 35 years. Fun shoes it was.
It's really freeing to ignore this dumb stuff.
Have box seats at the dome for some stuffy thing coming up for a financial company. I know everyone will be in suits and crap because I've done this before. Not me. I don't care. I'll wear a hoodie and jeans. In fact, last time I was in a box was for Tool and most people were dressed up because it was a corporate box. Once they saw one guy (me) didn't GAF about looking like you're supposed to, off came the dress shirts to the extent possible and we all had way more fun. Weeded it down to the cool people almost instantly and we had a blast while everyone behind us was on their best behaviour.
Putting on a suit is such a cheeseball way to conform and elicit a type of behaviour that limits fun, honestly. When people dress how they want (without being disrespectful; like, you can look sharp and like you care even though you aren't in the traditional outfit expected) they just seem more fun to me. On this thing coming up I guarantee I'll gel with somebody else that will like that I'm in a hoodie (even if they aren't) and I'll turn off the people that think I cOuLd HaVe DrEsSeD uP since this isn't high school. Sweet, I don't want to talk to you, either. Go over there and talk about the weather and the terrible road construction everywhere. I'll be over here with this dude drinking and having fun.
I say all that knowing there are some people at a station in life where they don't have this option. I'm lucky I can get away with this attitude.
