I have never owned a suit. I wouldn't know where to buy one. I wouldn't know how to ask for one. Does that make me less prestigious than someone well-versed in that sort of thing?

I realize that isn't what this thread is focused on. I understand dressing up to go to a nice restaurant is considered a good thing, but I don't understand the logic behind it. Why is a suit considered proper attire to go sit and watch a fat lady sing in a language I don't understand? History. Past water doesn't turn the mill.

I grew up in Montana. Not much for fancy anything there.
