Strong personal preference: I just don't like suits

I was thinking about how in The Rookie, Tim said "we accept Wesley because we fear Angela" 😂 

I like Wesley's character. But it is true in real life how reluctant I am towards people/professionals wearing a suit, particularly very basic, modern western corporate one.* And even if I don't make that a final judgment, I am immediately suspicious.

The first words that came to my mind when I thought of a suit: 

Hypocrisy 

Fraud 

Dishonesty 

Insurance 

Ah yes, the four horsemen of modern western suits. Hypocrisy, fraud, dishonesty, and insurance. 

*Footnote: Not that my aesthetic preferences are the center of the world, or anything. But in my personal taste I feel this way is especially when an extremely basic modern one by default. Tweed, period looks, almost burlaplike fabric and cotton floral pieces, tasteful patterns, different colors, traditional Nigerian prints, Asian stand collar suits, etc. are different.
