I never knew you lived in Japan! How long were you there for?
I love wearing a suit. As I often tell my colleagues in jest, “When you don’t have substance, you must at least have style.” I think it sends out a powerful statement that I am taking myself (and my work) seriously.
So, a Japanese professor visited my school n I was tasked to have a chat with her. I wore my black suit - as an aside, two of my suits are perpetually placed in school, ready to be worn at any time - and was better dressed than anyone else, including the school leaders. I felt good about it!
I zeroed in on your picture but can’t find any hint of a pot belly. Or if you do have love handles, that outfit hides it well haha. Of course you have a future! Consider the point that maybe that shirt didn’t particularly inspire you. Just keep shopping around until you find a shirt that makes you want to wear it!
Happy to see you, fellow superhero! 🦸

The belly is gone. I went from wearing M-L to S. Waist 34 to 28.
You look good in a suit. That's a good idea to just keep them at your workplace.
Sorry, I left the important part out, question is:
Did you manage to get comfortable wearing a suit? I find it amazing to see people wearing a suit in sweltering heat, but at some point I think people who get used to it feel the same as those who don't.
I go to Japan often (sometimes a few times per year) and learned Japanese when I was a teenager. I was supposed to go for Phd there but luckily didn't.

Yes, I did. If I wore a suit in Japan, it would be for an occasion - and all other attendees would be wearing suits. So, I barely noticed my discomfort. Anyway, I would be distracted by the prospect of taking photos for remembrance.
If I wear a suit in humid Singapore, I would feel uncomfortable. Though the attention I garner would be enough for me to act chill and refrain from making big movements so that I don’t sweat. Impression management - do or die!
