What's the point of a suit if you are going to ruin it by not doing the tie up properly.

Arm bands!

No one wears them



I promise I wouldn't comment again on this thread; as a child growing up my father taught me about suits e.t.c.

I love men in suits. It's really sexy.

I have a couple of very retro Mad Men style dresses - the really flared ones. I'd love to wear them all the time, but in the same way as wearing suits, I know I'd get a load of weird looks. I wish I had the confidence to just wear them and not be bothered when people think I'm overdressed!

I LOVE girls dressed like that. It is just so cute and sexy.

I love wearing suits, not a fan of a suit without a tie though.

Great thread.

I *love* suits. I have a really slick new grey one which looks the shiz.

I wish I had a reason to wear it more often though.

The fit is absolutely essential. If you're slim / tall, you should take advantage of that with a suit that is snugly fitted. Three buttons are quite formal and tend to be thought of as a bit passé these days. Two buttons are the norm and one button is a bit more risky

What are your opinions on waistcoats? I think they are poxy.

Three-piece suits are my favorite.


+ Only the lucky few can pull off a hat with a suit. 9 times outta 10 it looks stupid but when it works it works!

I've often heard that wearing a suit on a night-out is 'try-hard' and I've started asking myself, what's wrong with looking like you've put in a bit of effort? Surely being comfortable enough to admit that is more 'manly' than attempting to blend in with the inevitable shoes/jeans/shirt combo? (not that every guy wearing jeans and a shirt is attempting to blend in, but some certainly are)






I know exactly where your coming from, I was trying the same thing a few years ago and you end up with that trying too hard feeling. People even asked me was I coming straight from work.

I haven't worn a suit in years thanks to changing jobs but reading this thread reminds me how much I miss them. I still have 5 hanging in the wardrobe, I'll have to start wearing them again for the sake of it.

Nice suit, but I noticed the gaff with the tie also. It's a pity, if it was done up correctly it would look excellent.

Tie bar with a three piece? Really? Kind of redundant isn't it?
