That I've noticed, most grown-ups have a fairly decent sense of what social messages their clothing might send, and how others will likely react.
I was having this talk the other day: I hate "high end" logo clothes and don't want to compete with people that showcase their logo clothes. The average clothing store is decent enough for me. I would buy clothes with no distinctive marks if I could find them. Just plain material and colors.
Frankly, it’s vulgar.
Any kind of self-promotion is unpleasant, except to other self-promoters. For them its competitive. And yes, this includes the virtue emojis on Twitter and GitHub.
I live in South Florida, a little bit above Miami, and work out of this little co-working space.

This is an extremely ironic comment

Find a local tailor. Pick the fabrics you want from a catalog. Get your clothes made for your body while supporting someone's small business and artistic craft.
