At the end of the (10-hour) day,it doesn't matter how great you look if you've been itching all day.not breathing or otherwise uncomfortable since 8 a.m,and comfort isn't just about how your clothes feel, but how you feel in them. After all, if you spend most of a meeting trying to pull down your dress to ensure you are totally covered, your probably not at your optimal ...
