I know what you mean, school suits are horrible. I spent £190 on an Italian suit. Now I fully understand why Italians are considered the best suit makers in the world.Anchupom said:

I don't care for the suit to be honest. That said, I do dress a hair more formally than most when given no direction what to wear but even then I am dressed for comfort.
For example, for class today I wore a pair of cargo pants (can't have too many pockets), a collared button up shirt (I didn't tuck it in of course because I was not trying to be formal in the slightest. In fact, I wore this shirt because it was going to be a bit cool outside and was likely to rain), a pair of brown boots (which are, somehow, more formal than regular sneakers, but less formal than an actual dress shoe. They are, however, more comfortable than the latter and more generally useful than either) and a longish coat (beyond the hip but above the knee. I believe the style is called a car coat). Given that the average person (who was not employed by the university) was wearing jeans, a t-shirt and a hoodie (or something roughly equivalent) I was actually dressed fairly formally as I could, at a moments notice, tuck in my shirt and unroll my sleeves and be presentable for most environments.
Before the day ended, I cursed the fact that I did not bother bringing any lighter coat with me to South Texas as a coat for the purposes of warding off the rain is all well and good but if it isn't raining and it isn't really all that cold, it just leads to a lot of needless sweating.

I love wearing suits - something about being the sharpest dressed man in the office makes me feel really good about myself.Daystar Clarion said:
Okay, so I'm not on the wage to have a perfectly tailored suit from Saville Row, but I'd love to get one or two from there. In my case at the moment, I suit and boot every morning, complete with a full Windsor knot, cufflinks, tie pie - whatever I can get in there on my budget to look the part.
Now if someone would fall for that and pay me £40k per year, I'd be made.
Personally find suits amazing. My week is divided evenly between wearing jeans and shirts and wearing suits.
sorry, wearing a suit makes me feel like
1- a complete deuchebag
2- part of "the machine"
3- completely out of my character, and
4- a complete deuchebag (again)
and dont even get me started on how i look
don't get me wrong, if people like suits i hold no grudge, but you won't catch me dressed like a penguin and i'll haunt the crap out of anyone at my funeral who does!

I like it, but I only have one set of nice formal wear: my shirt, sport coat, gray slacks, tie, and black shoes. I have no tux. On the few occasions that I have worn said coat, it was pretty awesome. I clean up good, if I do say so myself.
Tell that to this guy...General_Potatoes said:Im a bit young to wear a suit but i want to though
Suits FTW! I look forward to game day at school so I can wear a shirt tie and khackis. I look like a bad ass layer with a jew fro
I don't like wearing suits.
Firstly, they arn't the most comfy things in the world. Stiff shoulder pads, stiff trousers, the tie knot pressing at your throat, the collar at the back of your neck. Suits aren't made for comfort, and i take a very pragmatic view to what i wear. Comfort, and if it will keep me cool or warm depending on the environment, are factors i consider way before style.
And as for suits themselves, businessmen wear them. I'm not a businessman, i'm myself and prefer to dress as myself and not as part of the collective. I look back on my old prom photos and i look like some sort of political clone from a Labour party conference. I don't think suits suit me, and i find them de-individualising and uncomfortable.
