You Have Nothing To Lose But Your Threads

 So why do men wear suits?

Rose McGowan confronted Steve Colbert with his suit-wearing during her free-wheeling, rather wonderful sojourn on his couch and he deflected the question with an off the cuff rejoinder about Pete Townsend telling him to- but she definitely had him on the back foot.

As McGowan said, suits give men stiff little tyrannosaur arms. They're constricting.  They suppress individuality. And mostly they come in such dull colours. . 

The business suit must be the dreariest costume mankind has ever inflicted upon itself.  It's horrible.  It needs to go.

Back to my beloved 17th century styles perhaps?

Why not? Men should be peacocks.

It seems to be the Victorians that sent men into the dullfest where they've been residing ever since.

Yes, I think so.

Victorian hair- for both men and women- was pretty amazing though.
