There is a difference between wanting to look good for others and just liking how you look and wanting to fit it in somehow into your life. Being a blue collar worker, the only times he can wear what he likes (formal suits) is when he has time off, so he does that. Had your opinion been the case, he would've instead found a way to show off at work too, since those are the eyes that are most frequently on him, or even just done anything besides having a meal.It almost feels a bit melancholy, dressing up in a power suit just to go out to eat. Like he's trying to raise his esteem in the judging eyes of the public.
Makes perfect sense.I feel like this is her way of saying she's now into maid uniforms AND men’s suits lol (fify)
