You may feel that clothing is boring and something you can look past, but you are in a tiny minority. By failing to invest a bit in your appearance you are foolishly forgoing substantial advantages in life.

The undertaker at the pet cemetery only buries dead animals, why would they care what he wears? The answer is because other people exist.

We do. We don't tell you, and if we're any good we don't show it, but we notice and we draw conclusions about you.I'm comfortable at being more or less adequately dressed comparatively.
