<i>Who the hell wants to get gussied up in non-functional, expensive, uncomfortable clothes, if it is not necessary?</i><p>No one.  But lots of people like getting &quot;gussied&quot; up in non-functional, expensive, _comfortable_ clothes, even if it is not necessary?  It may be stupid and superficial and is no doubt a serious character flaw on my part, but looking good makes me feel good, and feeling good makes me happy and productive.
