There are too many dudes below the age of 25 wearing suits before they're ready...

Millennials. That's what we are. We, meaning those who grew up with the Internet; those who can half-listen to someone while checking their Blackberry; those who have exponential means of letting everyone know how they feel about something (YouTwitFace); and yes, even those who text while driving (sorry, Oprah, this fad's not going away). We're at the forefront of most things.

But, what I've still not grasped is that in this time of everything being better because of communication, no one has communicated just how dumb young guys tend to look in suits. Over the last few years, younger generations have skipped suits and stayed in jeans, except for those mighty few: The Male Banker. Why is it a requirement for these smart young men to wear matchy-matchy suits that make them look like the Freshman of Life?

For the most part women can get away with the female suit: The Power Suit. Thanks, Ann Taylor. Thanks, J.Crew. No thanks, J.C. Penny's Young Professional Section. It's something to do with the empowerment of women wearing suits, I'd say.

Men though — it's a sad, sad world out there for the young, white male. Once a dominant figure in the world's story, young white guys are just sinking lower on the totem pole. I feel bad about it — low self-esteem and the very real knowledge that most won't live up to their fathers' expectations. So they throw on these massively unfitting suits and parade around hoping that one day the grind will lead to a larger paycheck so they can afford a tailor who can fix the box-y-ness of that three piece.

Can we please give these guys a hand, and just let them wear classy slacks and a button-up that doesn't billow behind them for miles? Corporate bosses, I'm addressing you. Your young male minions need this.
