Yet more ways....

to love your wife, this time courtesy of Jeff Tucker from a few years back. While I don't believe that it's necessary to wear a suit & tie all the time, I do believe, like Tucker, that certain standards of clothing benefit us all.

To wit, the waist/upper hip is a great place to hang pants and skirts, and it's also a great place to tuck in shirts and blouses. Moreover, a bit of "ease", or a slightly looser fit, makes virtually any garment more comfortable.

So choose your threads well. You'll look better, feel better, work better, and most importantly, your wife won't need to suffer with your muffin top. Love your wife; if you can't get rid of your flab, at least cover it up when you're out in public.

I think a simple way of putting that is, men should dress like men, women like women. And yes, there should be a degree of decency in our dress. One factor in how we dress concerns our vocation. If your a farmer, you wouldn't dress like a Wall Street trader. Yet, in both cases, the men can be dressed appropriate.

I'd go even more basic than that, David; I would argue that our very bodies argue against certain styles popular today. Shoulders and waists are great places to hang clothes. Hips and chests aren't so good. In other words, modesty is in the very design of people.

And certainly a mason will wear different clothes than a stockbroker or waitress. All will look their best, however, when their clothes are hanging from the right places.
