Poll: Do you like to suit up?

[EvilMaggot]

i wish i had one

 

[Nouw]

If I had a suit I'd suit up all the damn time! Damn it I can't upload the suit song...

 

[The Wooster]

I had a job interview today and it's been the first time in a long while since I've had to wear a suit. There's something about wearing a suit that makes me feel 'happy', everyone seems to react to me differently, people smile at me more and I can look like the biggest tool in the world while drinking a coffee at Starbucks. I especially looked like the modern gentleman because of the glorious British weather, i.e. pissing it down with rain. So with my umbrella, and my suit, I strolled around Nottingham thinking that I only needed a monicle and a top hat and I could do this everyday.

So, you do you enjoying wearing a suit? Do you hate it? Or are you indifferent?
So fellow escapists, go upstairs, open your wardrobe/closet and...

where's the "I can't afford a suit" option?

Everyone can afford a suit, it doesn't have to be an expensive one.

It should be. Every man should own a tailored suit. I'm not looking down on people who don't. Obviously cash can be tight. But it's a great feeling to have a set of clothes you know are (relatively) unique and perfect for you. Providing of course you have a good tailor.

 

[RobfromtheGulag]

Definitely a good thing, but I find it's too often for the wrong reasons.

 

[Magnesium360]

Yes. I like suits. A lot.

 

[FortheLegion]

I can't wait till I'm growing so i can get a nice suit that will fit me for a long time. I love suits I feel so much better when wearing one.

 

[onewheeled]

I prefer to wear torn up jeans and a hoodie over wearing a suit, to be honest.

 

[Cazza]

To much effort. I'm fine with the nice shirt and pants though. Also I look weird in a suit because I'm shorter than average.

 

[thylasos]

It's nice, once in a while, for me to have an opportunity not to look like a total scruffbag, certainly.

 

[AvsJoe]

No. No I don't.

Sure, I look great in a suit (I really do), but I'd rather a golf T and some dress pants, or a t-shirt with a funny picture and sweatpants.
Comfort >= Appearance.

 

[Coop83]

As opposed to the 'jeans and t-shirt' masses? Yeah.

If you think the "jeans and t-shirt masses" all look the same i think you need your eyes testing mate.

I think there's a massive truck of generalisation here - neither the businessmen "suit-wearing" crowd nor the "jeans and t-shirt masses" actually have a huge "dress code", save fort he fact that the suits must be shirt, trousers and jacket. This leaves options for a waistcoat, tie and quite a few accessories. While the jeans & t-shirt look may have a lot more options when it comes to the look, I think you'll find that both can be cast into a stereotype.

I just pull the suit look off better than jeans & t-shirt.

 

[Daipire]

I love wearing suits.

But, being a teenaged student, there's really no reason to wear one appropriately...

 

[superstringz]

When I "suit up", I'm in a labcoat with nitrile gloves/N95 respirator/chemical goggles. Its AWSOME. Though the goggles fog up fast.

 

[superbatranger]

I'd rather be comfortable, but I don't mind suiting up from time to time. Makes me feel snazzy.

 

[The Salty Vulcan]

I Love suiting up on the go.

 

[silasbufu]

The only major problem I have with suiting up is that I hate driving with those suit shoes.
Except for that, it's pretty great. Everyone can look awesome in a suit.

I recently bought a suit for $30, and I swear I've never worn something that fitted me better right out of the box. I love op shops.

 

[aubreym]

WOW YES!
it actually makes me feel.....invincible,

Seriously, its like that one scene in the sponge bob movie, when the get the fake stashes and fall into that abyss. I am the fusion of Patrick and sponge bob wearing stashes when i myself wear a suit.

 

[Summerstorm]

It is uncomfortable (especially the damn shoes) BUT. If you doing something awesome, it will look better in a suit.

So: Normaly i hate it. I am wearing loose snuggly clothes at home (not even a jeans or something. But when i am presenting something, or going gambling or something: Suit, black leather shoes (just no tie).

 

[Wutaiflea]

I'm a bit odd on this because I hate all my suits, but I think my fabulous 80s blazer jacket is the dog's bollocks, love pencil skirts for formal occasions and have no problems with tailored trousers. The combination, however, seems to look frumpy and feel binding.

There's something about women's suits that just isn't as classy as men's suits.
