Gentlemen. Let's face it, not many guys our age (Let's say teenagers for the sake of not knowing everybody's ages) know how to dress. You've seen the guys. They wear snapbacks, they wear pants with a super low rise, and they wear just really ridiculous, baggy clothes.

It is my personal opinion that the suit is not only the cleanest, nicest looking outfit on the market (although expensive) but it is the most versatile also. This is doubly so for a three-piece suit.

First of all I want to talk about the fit. The pants should break once at the ankle. We don't want the pants to form a puddle at your foot, but we don't want it to stop before the foot. It should fall on the foot, just enough that it forms a single break. The jacket should be snug against your body, but not tight. It should look like it fits perfectly to your body. You should not be busting out of the suit because it's so small, and it should not look baggy, or boxy. The sleeve should come up to reveal just a small amount of your shirt cuff.

You can wear a three-piece in many ways. There's the classic, which is full-on. Pants, waistcoat, jacket. Buttons done up, and the tie. This is a very professional look which always looks good.

One of my personal favourites is to ditch the jacket, roll up your shirt sleeves, unbutton the top button on your shirt and keep the tie loose. This, I feel, is a clean look that says "Professional, yet playful."

Another personal favourite is to lose the waistcoat and leave your jacket undone, revealing your tie. This is another very professional look that shows that you know how to dress.


I could go on for ages about suits but I'm keeping it short and sweet. I can't stress enough that every guy should have at least one suit in his wardrobe. More would be preferable but to each their own.

Got any favourite suit styles, colours or fabrics? Go ahead and let me know. I want this thread to be a place of non-judgement. This is a friendly place where we talk about suits.

How is a suit versatile? You have very limited movement when fully dressed especially if you want to keep it from tearing.
You could do far more with a spandex onesie.

Although suits are amazing (in my opinion). Why wouldn't something like this suffice? It's fancy, not baggy, looks modern and professional. Suits are just perhaps a bit expensive and for the average person it isn't most efficient and ideal for their day to day life. I agree that people should have one, for those special occasions (even some fancier clothes should suffice). But there are better alternatives. That is just a 'majority' opinion from what I have gathered by people. At the end of the day though, it's your clothes, Your decision.

Versatile doesn't mean it's good for movement. It means you can wear one almost anywhere. Also, how often are you running around flailing your arms about? You don't really need a whole lot of movement. A good suit should not tear too easily. Just unbutton it if you need to move your arms a lot.

Is that what they call fancy in Perth? That's a pretty casual outfit. That's like what I wear at home when I'm not doing anything.

Many words could be said. So instead I say this.

Quote:adjective
versatile
1.
able to adapt or be adapted to many different functions or activities.

Versatility means it can adapt to server different purposes: If Will needed to go from shaking the presidents hand to break dancing in the street, a suit wouldn't be able to be used for this 2nd activity.
Spandex is a good example of versatile clothing, because it can be used for...

Quote:...many different functiuons or activities.

Yeah but generally in terms of suits when someone says versatile, they mean it can be worn on different occasions. Not necessarily for different activities.

You can't change the meaning of the word...

Why not? Fag used to be the name of a pile of sticks but now it's used to describe gays and cigarettes.
When people, not just me; people, use the term versatile when they're talking about suits, they typically use it to mean it can be worn on different occasions.
