I cycle through Holborn pretty frequently and I’ve noticed that LSE students are often dressed like gimps.
Who are you trying to impress?
Well, have a heart. Somebody probably though they were giving them good advice, to act the part or indeed “fake it til you make it”. 
“Dress smart, think smart!”
“Dress for the job you want, not the job you have” is the entire premise of why I lounge on an Italian beach in the summer in a linen shirt

“Nothing suits me like a suit”
1 Like
I prefer wearing suits to work daily even on the weekends. Dressing for the environment leaves you feeling fantastic for meetings and co-workers started giving me compliments.
I’m always wondering why so many people are bothered with others wearing suits? Something that was a regular, everyday attire is now a subject of questions. My question is: why are you not wearing one?
The suit is a garment of corporate submission. Why wear one when they’re hot, need dry cleaning, cost a fortune, and look the same except to the eye trained to notice small signifiers of expense? It’s a uniform that signals to others who like wearing uniforms too
As much as I appreciate the beauty of a uniform, the suit is - as Stick says - a signal of submission. It is a symbol of subservience. It is a symbol of accepted limitation.
If you are an employee, then by all means, you are part of a unit - act like it.
To do it as a student, to mark your highest aspiration in life as submission, then knock yourself out. And get made fun of for it. lol
