And it could be in how we define the word "comfortable". To me that means... feels good... and I suit and tie doesn't feel good to me... slacks and dress shoes do not feel good to me, but i understand that there are times that doing what is appropriate is much more important than comfort or feeling good.

The inference for me when I hear "comfortable" is no self control, whatever feels good, lack of professionalism, doing whatever I want, making my flesh feel good....etc. Giving control over to our senses and them making final decision.

This may not be what you mean when you say comfortable, so this could be a matter of not being on the same page.

I agree with you in part, however, I am often comfortable being dressed up.


I think that you and I would have different meanings as to the word comfort or comfortable. Comfortable would be at ease* in a situation, which means that I am enjoying the clothes, the surrounding (as much as might be possible) and the conversation.



*at ease not being understood as laziness

However, maybe they will open a store here closer to where I am some day.
