He doesn't need to buy off the rack.

I've never worked anywhere that allowed shorts and a hoodie. Actually, that combo particularly irritates me. I mean, are you hot or cold? WTF?

I am probably old school but I think what you wear shows how seriously you take what you are doing. On the beach, wear flip flops. Directing the future of a country? I'd like someone who looks a little more serious.

But then, I said I am old school. But he can afford to look the part so that particular argument doesn't cut it with me.
