I think you mean “glory in”. Suits are cool, .and a good tie is awesome. Women love them, too.
yes, and we also think someone who speaks with a British accent is smarter.
I never try anything on. I know my sizes but if it didn’t fit to my liking I just take it back, no biggie.
If it doesn’t fit, it’s because you DON’T know your size. Bodies aren’t static. I was a lot bigger at 40 than I was at 25; even before I got sick, I was a lot smaller at 44 than I was at 40.
Hey Skald, do you think we should try shirts on before we buy them? 
It’s just that the statement “I know my sizes, so I don’t try om shirts before buy them, and if I buy something that doesn’t fit I just take it back!” strikes me as ludicrous.
It isn’t ‘dress like a 15 year old’. It is ‘dress how you do away from work’. I’m about to go out into town to meet some friends. I will be wearing pretty much what I was wearing in work last week.
I worked in a press room for 25 years. My favorite thing about leaving the printing industry was that I got to dress like a grown-up.
It’s not a question of giving them up, it’s a question of fashion and custom. Fashion changes and customs die out. See: powdered wigs.
I look good in a suit, don’t find them the least bit uncomfortable and chicks still dig 'em. Nuff said.
How are you in a suit with no necktie?
Well, the best look in a tailored suit requires the top button (of a two-button) to be fastened, and that looks incredibly stupid if you’re not wearing a tie.
And the current fashion is for suit pants to have cuffs.
So the real answer is, I wouldn’t wear a tailored suit with no tie, I’d wear a sportsjacket and pants with no cuffs instead. No fastening the jacket button in that case, either. Looks OK, but not as good as a suit and tie. Depends on the occasion, it’s definitely possible to be overdressed.
To the guys who think suits are uncomfortable, you need to start shopping at better shops. Or stop letting your wives buy it for you, women’s clothing is supposed to be uncomfortable apparently.
Oh, for the record, my suits are plenty comfortable; I merely despise neckties.
I think it’s really funny when people wear suit/tie to a sporting event. That’s mostly a southern thing. They view the game as a big social event. For students mostly frats/sororities dress up for games. It’s mostly for FB but some do it for BB too.
End of the night
Tuxedo
Bow tie, untied and draping over the unbuttoned collar.
Swoons. (Must stop watching old movies).
See, today is a dove-grey single-breasted Paul Smith mod suit with lavender pinstripes, a paler grey and white shirt, and a lilac tie, with this awesome Flash Gordon rocket silver tie clip. And it’s cold today, so I have this huge old Dunn & Co slate grey Border Tweed overcoat over it all. I look good.
A man with a couple of suits and a few ties in his closet has more options than a man whose closet contains only casual clothes.
Those who refuse formality are as narrow-minded as those who demand it.
The only choice that matters is the choice to wear what you want, or the choice to not wear what you don’t want.
I threw away all my suits and sport jackets 30 years ago and haven’t had a need to wear one since.
Except, so far – one time. A good friend died, and she specified in her last instructions that I was to be one of the pallbearers. So I had to borrow a jacket and dig up a tie for that occasion, as I didn’t want to stand out in the casket-carrying group. I still have the jacket, just in case someone else dies.
So, you’re saying you threw them all away because you never need one except for when you need one, which you own.
