There are only two downsides… one; it looks suspiciously like a woman’s suit, and two; having to pay the remaining 90% of the cost.
It wasn’t so long ago that my biggest worry on my first day would be feeling like a rank amateur in amongst a load of professionals, but now my biggest worry is either taking my jacket off or my trouser leg riding up to reveal an ankle clad in thin black nylon. I’d replaced my own socks with numerous pairs of knee-high tights rather than proper tights. It was Aunt Katinka’s suggestion as she felt I’d probably prefer them, it being late spring/early summer. Knee highs don’t seem quite as feminine as tights but in the great scheme of things, and as far as anyone who spies my ankles is concerned, they may as well be a pair of tights… or stockings for that matter.
