I Finally Wore The Suits In My Closet To Work And This Is What Happened
I have five suit sets and over twelve blazers — but I rarely wear them. I took a week to figure out why.

Hey, brilliant humans. My name is Matt. I'm 23 years old, I'm a fucking Libra, and I love suits.*
*Also the USA network series Suits. But that’s beside the point.
They only ever see the light of day during weddings or funerals, which are (thankfully, re: weddings) few and far between. But when I wear a suit on an average weekday, I'm compelled to take it off and swap outfits because:
They say to dress for the job you want, not the job you have, but America is increasingly being run in jeans and Patagonia fleece. The same goes for when you work at BuzzFeed dot com the website and all its commonwealth realms of distributed #content, where comfort — often in the form of a sensible jort — reigns supreme.
Despite that, suits are welcome, certainly! But when your CEO is deciding the fate of the company in a tasteful branded hoodie, it feels pompous and precocious for me to wear a suit as a 23-year-old in an entry-level job.
