I have been “over dressing” for work for decades. There is no need for me to wear a dress shirt and tie, but I do. In February, I went to Men’s Warehouse and bought 6 new shirts, a suit, nice shoes, and some ties.

I have not worn any of what I bought. We shut down about a week after I made the purchases. I work from home now. No videoconferencing. I may never get back into the office. I have clearly spent my last penny at Men’s Warehouse. Nothing against them, but times are different now and their core business seems to be mostly gone.

I have a few bespoke suits (Brooks Bros.) that just sit in the closet except for rare occasions such as weddings, funerals, museum fundraisers - and a tux for night at the opera or tonier museum fundraisers/openings. (all coronacancelled)

Church is a blue blazer and no tie and that's overdressed compared to the rest of the parishoners. (also coronacancelled)

Business is me in athleticwear talking via facetime to my financial advisor and or lawyer, or doing contract work via skype.

The only people I see in suits are lawyers and politicians.
