"For me, dressing is a joy. I have multiple closets stocked with clothes suits, mostly. I have some shorts, some sweats, hoodies and T-shirts, but those are for special occasions only. Like a kid's birthday or a hangover. You know what you won't find in my closet? Jeans. I hate jeans. Not even a poorly conceived Sydney Sweeney commercial could convince me I needed to buy jeans."
"If I had to choose between wearing denim and one of those barrels cartoon hobos wear, I'd choose the barrel. Far more dignified. Jeans were created for gold miners so they didn't rip their pants while sloshing in a river full of jagged rocks. I panned for gold once, on a school field trip to Sutter's Fort in fifth grade. I was not asked to go pro."
I prefer dressing in suits and keep multiple closets largely filled with tailored clothes. Casual items like shorts, sweats, hoodies, and T-shirts are reserved for rare, informal occasions. I strongly dislike jeans and find them unflattering on me, evoking old, worn imagery and physical discomfort. Denim’s origins as miner workwear reinforce that rugged aesthetic for many, but suits create a more grown-up, dignified appearance. Jeans make me feel ground down and physically limited when bending or moving. I ask others to stop reviving denim trends I consider passé and unappealing.
