The Suits
Mark Cuban’s take on suits is the best post I’ve read in weeks.
Wearing a suit in Portugal is almost a religion, workers wear them every day, even if their jobs don’t imply contacting with clients in person. People believe that a suit really gives them status, make them look better and more confident, but really, where’s your confidence when you get home and sleep on the ground (like Mark did, and I bet lots of Portuguese workers do the same)?
A suit gives you confidence when you need it, makes you part of the “tribe” when you’re among peers, but in the end it it’s just a “mask”, a gimmick to be accepted. Suits should be used in celebrations, events, and not as working uniforms. Go casual, go real, break the distance between you and the others by letting the suit go.
