10 Responses to the question: “Why are you so dressed up?”

#1. I was hoping I’d run into you.

#2. My Girlfriend/Boyfriend/Wife/Husband likes it.

#3. I like the way this looks.

#4. It’s laundry day. (completely legitimate. no clean pants? dress down a favorite suit)

#5. I’m headed to a tailor later, so I needed to wear a suit/blazer/dress shirt for the fitting.

#6. What am I, a farmer? (bonus points if you are, in fact, a farmer)

#7. I’m off to see your Mom. (a fine way to get your face caved in. use sparingly.)

#8. Honestly, I felt like I needed a mental boost. Fake it till you make it, no?

#9. Didn’t you hear about the new dress code?

#10. Thank you! (this doesn’t answer the question. and that’s on purpose.)
