   Well-tailored suits also make you look sharp af. The day I got the most compliments for my clothes was when I was wearing a suit for my college farewell and smoking (no, it's not a cool habit, I'm just an addict) at a tea stall.

      This is just a cultural effect.

         I'm in India, suit wearing is not really a big cultural thing anymore (and I doubt it ever was for most people). At least if you're not a bureaucrat.

            In many places being a bureaucrat is exactly the impression you will make, wearing a suit. Depends on the individual, whether they want that. As an engineer I wouldn't want that.

               yeah its almost a meme -- the real engineers rock up in sweatpants
