Poll: Do you like to suit up?

[Holy_Handgrenade]

I love wearing suits but the one I got on my birthday has to be my favourite.

 

[Holy_Handgrenade]

My school uniform was what could be referred to as a suit. Blazer, shirt, tie, trousers. Bullcrap. The blazers were shite and the trousers were horrible.

I'm now in sixth form of that same school and I wear a PROPER blazer (worth £90), proper suit trousers, and a proper shirt. And I feel the shizz.
I'm now losing weight so I can get myself a waistcoat and feel mega-happy.

To add to the waistcoat have a pocket watch my friend and then you really look the shizz.

 

[Something Amyss]

Only if it's my Iron Man suit.

 

[Ickorus]

The fact that my regular casual attire involves a suit jacket should really point to an affirmation of my love of wearing suits.

 

[Nickolai77]

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.

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 wish I owned a suit...

I've never really had the chance to wear a suit. I've been to only a few formal events, and I've settled for a shirt and tie at those times.
Nowadays, I'm lucky if I can find a shirt that fits me. Damn tall and slender body build!

Raz, kingsizedirect.com helped me find a suit. I am 6'7 with arms damn near as long as my legs. Try that.

As for the question, I've wanted to wear a suit since I was a child. Now that I can, I usually do. I even had a woman randomly come up to me praising god for nice young men. Wonder if it is because I'm black...lol~

There's a sense of respect associated with it that I enjoy. They tend to go pretty well with the awesome hat usually adorning my head that you can see in my profile shadow.

Good question.

Why thank you my good man. I think everyone can look good in a suit, it's just a matter of finding one that suits the person wearing it.

Few things can help somebody feel Alpha Male like wearing a suit. We've been taught from a young age that person in a suit equals intelligence, prosperity, and respect.

Or you work for the mob. One or the other.

True story: a friend and I used to "meet" at a local watering hole. We would both be dressed nicely in suits and be carrying briefcases. One would arrive first, then the other would join up about ten minutes later. We would sit, chat a bit while having a glass of wine, make a show of swapping briefcases and a large manila envelope, then leave. Got to be that people were watching us and rumor got around. Long story short, the cases were full of newspaper, but it was worth a laugh. Even the cops had a sense of humor, thankfully.

Yeah, I love to suit up.

That is epic. What made you come up with that idea?

 

[Geekosaurus]

Love. It. I can't wait until I'm old enough to get away with wearing a suit every day. Right now it'd just make me look like the weirdo that likes to wear suits.

 

[Malediozone]

Does wearing a red tie everywhere count? You gotta keep class somehow.

A three piece suit. You, sir, have style and taste. I being forced to suit up, but when I get to choose whether or not I always do.

 

[Blemontea]

NO i dont like to wear suits, but ill wear them when i have to... my normal attire is all casual, and my jacket.

 

[eljawa]

nothing suits me like a suit. I feel so confident in them, and they are pretty comfy if of Ok quality (i like the feeling more than jeans and a t shirt) but the cost stops me from wearing one every day. Otherwise, I would

 

[Red Albatross]

I'd wear jeans to a funeral, if I were the type of person that even believed in funerals. I absolutely despise dressing up, I feel like an incredible fake douchenozzle anytime I'm even wearing khakis, because that's just not me.

 

[ENKC]

I hate suits... They're so uncomfortable. I prefer my worn-in jeans, a t-shirt, and a zip-up hoodie.

I would rather be 100% comfortable than look good.

That's like saying you hate cars because they're so red. Suits aren't uncomfortable, you've just tried ones that don't fit you. A properly tailored suit is like a second skin.

And I've been wearing a three piece suit for four months whilst being Office Manager of an H&R Block. I can tell you, little else makes you feel like more of a man, provided you get your whole presentation 'right'.

The closest thing to a suit in my wardrobe is a combination of black jeans and a blazer.
I don't have ties, bowties and all the "sharp dressed man" palifenaria like cuff links, pins and all the other junk.
Give me sturdy jeans, a tshirt and some decent shoes and i'll be fine.

Paraphernalia, although 'accoutrements' would be the more appropriate word.

 

[Sebenko]

Yes. Suits are bitchin' stylish.

It was pretty much all I wore in SR2, as well.

And yes, I did bring a suit to uni with me.

 

[Stu1701]

Yes, but I try to wear the most ridiculous suit possible.

 

[Bruin]

Love it.

I'm usually overdressed for most occasions. Even the average day--I find myself wearing clothing I picked out in the store for "Nice clothes I'll only wear when they're warranted".

Also, being overdressed most of the time means I'm able to wear uncomfortable clothing most of the time. Clothing that soon becomes comfortable because--well, it's something you just get used to. Like armor. The Athenians trained in over 70 lbs of hoplite gear and could still manage to march fifteen or twenty miles a day. I suppose the same applies here. It becomes a second skin, I guess.
