What on earth is professional about a suit when sooo impractical?

Question

Why is a suit considered professional?


its not water or rain proof.

Does not keep you cool in summer or warm in winter


Can't be easily cleaned in a washing machine.

the jacket only gets in the way with long buly sleeves which make you uncomfortable..

It does not breath well.

If to hot you aint productive

Easily damaged or dirtied (remebr no washing machine)

No personality injection or creativity

The trousers lack extra leg pockets down the sides like combats
Especailly for bigger items so your pockets don't bulge

They are not as loose and flexible as combats.


The shoes are a toal health hazard, no grip, not ankle support, way to stiff.


The tie was designed to land in your food, machinery or get in the way


Long sleeves uncomfotable,


Its restricting movement.



So how on earth if that unpractical is it in anyway profession or a sign you are profession when any idiot can where one anyway?

Answer 1

You wear them because you look professional.

Trustworthy some might say.

Answer 2

You've hit the nail on the head - because its not the easy option, it shows that you've made the effort to look smart, rather than worn something easier to wear and/or care for.
