Day 291: Not Fit For Business

The sun is shining down brilliantly on Chancery Lane, which is full of people dressed to do BUSINESS.  The current fashion if you are a (young) man is to be on the point of dangerously exploding out of your shirt and trousers.  This does not mean you are fat.  Far from it - this is a style for the properly 'hench'.  The shirt and trouser (deliberate tailor-style use of the singular here) should look one size too small.  To me it looks uncomfortable and sweaty. 

For women (young and would-be-young), business demands stripper heels and a unforgivingly tight tailored dress.  To me it looks even more uncomfortable and sweaty than the male version.  At least the men can wear flat shoes (albeit ridiculously pointy). 

I wonder how many people enjoy dressing like this?  Perhaps many do, because they feel fashionable. 

And the arbiters of fashion?  Skinny stick men made from ketosis and bitchery (see Karl Lagerfeld). 

No thanks.  (And with this I justify my old and battered work shoes, still not replaced - see Day 88, back in February...)
