there's a guy who rides my bus (and train) in the morning. he looks like he's got some redneck in his blood. most days he'd dressed appropriately for whatever business-y job he has, albeit a little sloppily. usually khaki or black pleated (gross) pants, a button-up shirt, and a sweater vest. all wrinkly. needs a haircut. his work shoes are old-looking black sneakers. but whatever, he can wear what he wants and if his company is okay with it, whatever.
however. twice now he has been wearing - wait for it - a tuxedo. as if it were a suit. he wears it with the same ol' wrinkly shirt and black sneakers and i just want to ask him how on earth he or anyone else could mistake a tux for a regular black suit. i mean, really - long jacket, shiny non-suit shaped lapels, shiny stripe down the sides of the pant legs, and a freaking pocket square. seriously! i almost think he could maybe pull it off without the pocket square.
i'm a judger. i know this. but i'm just baffled. does the guy not have any friends who are nice enough to tell him he looks ridiculous? if any guy i know tried to go to his office job wearing a toxedo i'd laugh at him and tell him to go change. that's all i'm saying.
