   I’d say it’s more necessity than anything else. At most jobs, for example, you can’t wear just any old thing to work, you need to “dress appropriately.”

   But that’s from fear, the big brother of embarrassment. People wear what they think they need to wear to be taken seriously, as professionals, as people of some moment. Failing to do so threatens one’s career, and thus poses a graver threat to one’s livelihood than some idle wish to be comfortable. An awful lot of human professional behavior is not that far removed from gratuitous displays of tooth and claw, and protecting oneself from the same.
