New honours come upon him,
Like our strange garments, cleave not to their mould
But with the aid of use.
– William Shakespeare
Macbeth, Act 1, Scene 3. Banquo says this of Macbeth who appears lost in thought after being declared Thane of Cawdor. Banquo uses a clothing simile to liken Macbeth’s preoccupation with his role to wearing new clothes that he is unused to.
