Having worked mostly in the menswear retail trade from generic to high end bespoke. I have much I could say, but I will try to keep it short.
For me clothing has always been important, from school uniform to my first suit for work. It is definitely a presenting face for me and in the workplace in particular it is armour for the rigours of the day.
Now as a carer it is mostly shorts and tees or jeans and polos depending on how hot the house is. It is all about comfort and functionality rather than presenting something.
I long for the opportunity to dress up now, want nothing more than to don a suit, shirt, tie and best shoes/boots to meet the world (cos its big and scary and I ain't out in it much, I still need that armour).
In Pursuit of a Better (Dressed) Me
A lot to digest in this.
