Suit Up

It had occurred to me that at 25, and in Ghana, I couldn’t go everywhere in shorts or even jeans but I didn’t really understand why. Don’t get me wrong, I know not every environment supports these attires (for my lack of another word, let me use attire). In my first week of school, for some strange reason, I decided to wear suits although it wasn’t compulsory to do so on my campus. I do drive a car with no AC and no seat covers to reduce heat and it seems my car just doesn’t like shade.

To beat traffic and so I can speed on the motorway, I usually speed. Cutting in with point; a policeman stopped me for over speeding and let me go because I was looking handsome. Wow. Ghana. I’ve had nice stuff but not until my days in suits, I can’t recall a stranger telling me he liked what I was wearing. I’ve had compliments from admirers who aren’t friends but to get that from a total stranger, it’s even gay to hear but at that time it didn’t sound it. I guess suits really help. Although outside class, I feel I stand out too much. And lastly, my mum stared at me for over 30 seconds without talking to me, I felt invisible, till I realised she was smiling; I made her proud. Guys, don’t miss a chance to wear a suit, it really comes with some benefits.
