There was once a conversation on Hubski which at one point turned to wearing suits. I said that I don't like wearing suits: they always made me feel trapped. Someone replied: "You just never wore a good suit".

Little did I know back then that I'd love wearing a smart casual suit so much I'll do it every day.

Now, I just can't stand the idea of not wearing the combo. Granted, it's not aggressively official as suits often act: it's a very-dark-blue pants plus white slim-fit shirt plus thin black tie combo - but damned I be if I don't look good in it. So many compliments I haven't received... ever! Hell, even men compliment my looks - this ought to be saying something, isn't it?

I'm a student in a uni that doesn't belong to the Ivy League, so the semi-suit is not a requirement, but I love wearing it. It makes me feel stronger, more powerful as a person, and I think that people treat me differently now. I don't want to go back to the t-shirts now.

Still need some shoes to match. Any advice? Sneakers are only good as far as I don't have a worthy replacement.
