No. Only people that do it have dad bods/guts they need to cover up (or they are a twink and need to make their chest appear bigger)



Lift weights and you will always look better in a fitten dress shirt


100% right on hiding the gut, but if I’m leaving the office with phone, wallet, keys, then no vest means my pants are stuffed.

Now you could go no keys, use mobile entry for the office, then you only carry phone wallet. Wallet back pocket when it needs to be in pocket.

I have a golf vest I wear in the summer down south, but I’m rarely outside as it’s 90°+. We had some bankers come down last summer joking about ordering an Uber to walk across the parking lot bc it was so humid
