    “ Even if I feel physically more comfortable in suits, and they are functionally better, I won’t use them when it’s not needed. The only reason is that it’d be socially awkward.”

    If you’re an Ashkenazi orthodox Jew, it’s the opposite. Wearing suits every day is the norm. Along with a hat in some denominations.

    (In 1930s it was also the norm for many men to do both.)

      Does it have to be any hat or that particular hat that I'm seeing in my head now?
