Wearing a suit

jackA friend's girlfriend saw me in the street wearing a suit, and their comment was "It says something about you that our best guess was that you were doing office-themed LARP, rather than going to a job interview or something."
In fact, I was going to BA dinner with college daughter and college niece.
FWIW, most people I know do very much tend to jeans and black T-shirts sort of clothes. I hypothesise that we generally value time above appearance, and also have a streak of non-conformance. And I hypothesise that that makes dressing up for social events and special occasions more attractive.
In fact, due to equally proportioned blame confusion, we were going to BA dinner the *next* night, and so I joined them and Is-and-her-James (all their boyfriends are called James, it's just one of those things) for Pizza Express.
But it's quite nice wearing a suit out. It looks good and is comfortable. I would more often, except for the aforementioned lack of desire to get smart clothes cleaned and ironed regularly, and the fact that ironing shirts better might pass unnoticed (and be definitely a good thing), wearing a suit casually would produce nothing but remarks :)
I still find excuses to wear suits on dates sometimes :)
