Poll: Do you like to suit up?

[Shock and Awe]

Hell yeah! I love wearing suits.

 

[[Gavo]]

If I don't have to wear a tie...I would wear a suit a lot more.

Although I've gotten used to ties more now.

 

[A velociraptor]

I love to get snappy.

But I think Fred Astaire put it best...

I hate suiting up. If someone is wearing a suit, I refuse to believe a word he's saying because it's coming either from a corporate manual or a political platform. The suit is the uniform of the sleazeball.

 

[Spinozaad]

Yeah, totally!

Although the suits must be stylish and casual. I hate most 'corporate' suits for their bleak, blandy blandness.

 

[ffxfriek]

i love wearing a suit. i feel professional and i honestly look best wearing them.

 

[Ghostkai]

For those saying a suit is uncomfortable, you're either not wearing a fitted suit, or wearing a pile of shit suit.

I love wearing a suit, I wear one for work.

 

[DontHassleTheHoff]

Haha, I have to every day for my school (it's quite a pretentious school, say no more), and it's actually really cool. I wouldn't mind not having to, but it's quite nice for everyone to look rather suave. Plus, I like wearing unnecessary bow ties.

 

[SL33TBL1ND]

I love suits, especially with a waistcoat.

 

[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...

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.

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.
