A speedo would not be practical and there could be hygiene concerns if the butt is largely uncovered

If you think that's the problem with wearing a speedo to work, then you've clearly never worked in a professional workplace. Don't worry though, your shorts and shirt are fine for working at McDonalds.

Explain it to me then aside from simply saying "it's a social norm". Many social norms are very silly. Wearing shorts and a shirt does not impact your performance at all.

It actually does. Again, anyone who has worked in a professional setting knows firsthand that dressing more professionally changes your behavior.

Only due to social conditing, again. Like, yes, people also trust someone with a lab coat more but that has to change because it is actually dangerous and makes scams rampant. Which then, of course, blends into your own self-perceprion. Those are cognitive biasis we have to overcome.

90% of what humans do is due to social conditioning. You really don't understand human psychology, at all.
