bring this into your vocabulary.

main entry: therwear
pronunciation: \ther-wer\
function: noun
date: 2009

: garments worn by therapists.

therapists CANNOT wear flashy. they have to be semi-boring. most fit into the mold of therwear. ya know, it's the looser fitting, earth tones that aren't revealing in any way, shape or form. floral patterned floor length dresses work well, too.

if you wear h&m it's distracting. if you wear a suit you're over dressed. if you have cleavage you're creating transference. it's best to wear a monotone top, pants, and very little jewelry. it's even better if you're a man and you can grow a beard.

pretty much: being a therapist equals dressing boring.
look out world, here i come.
