The good suit.

1682

What kind of a F-ing savage throws their used tissues in a shopping cart? And is wearing shorts that cover to the mid thighs/knee too much to ask, if your not in good shape?

1683

I make the best prime rib
really. The one I cooked on Sunday was just outstanding.

1684

Yep, that’s it.

1685

I have never owned a suit. (well, in my adult life)

1686

A suit or a sportcoat? Because I could see getting by without a suit, but not without something that is at least remotely dressy. Unless you’re that guy that wears sweaters to things where everyone else has a suit or sportcoat on.

1687

I for one am thankful that society has become so casual that people are able to attend nearly any function with necessitating a suit or even just a sportcoat. Shirt, tie and pants and I’m good for damn near anything!

1688

The good suit’s the equivalent of the little black dress, really. You don’t need the little black dress, and you don’t need the suit, but it’s good to have. Even if you don’t have a job that necessitates a good suit, they’re also useful for weddings and funerals. A good suit seems to say you take something seriously/are being respectful in a way a sport coat or a shirt with a tie doesn’t.

1689

Most of the time, nobody’s going to say anything if you show up just in shirt/tie/slacks even though everybody else is in a jacket or suit, but you’re still gonna be That Guy.

If you don’t care about what people think about you based on your dress, that’s fine, but they’re still thinkin’ it.

If we have a work function that generally necessitates the wearing of a suit, and someone shows up just in shirt-and-tie, we tend to assume they’re from IT.

1691

I probably wouldn’t wear the tie, what with being a girl in IT :(

1692

Ha ha. There are no girls in IT, silly mmalloy.

1693

I have no problem with this.

1694

I’ve decided that a sport coat / blazer is just an indispensable part of a man’s wardrobe. They look great, are suitable for all sorts of weather, and can be casual or formal depending on what they’re worn with. If you’re in doubt about the level of formality, you can’t go wrong with a sport coat.

1695

The DMV is incompetent and annoying. News at eleven.

1696

When I was young, I hated the idea of suits. Having been required to wear one several times in recent years, I don’t know why I hated the idea. They’re not uncomfortable and they look nice.

1697

And how many other outfits can you accessorize with a shotgun and STILL look classy?

1698

I think it’s 'cause when you’re a kid, your clothes usually don’t fit super well because you’re growing all the time.

More formal clothing that doesn’t fit quite right is really uncomfortable. Also, who’s gonna buy a nice suit for a kid who’ll outgrow it in six months?

As an adult, you can buy nice things that fit perfectly and are therefore really comfortable.

1699

Suits are uncomfortable. Too many layers means they’re hot, and not enough stretchiness means they only really fit when you’re standing still.

That just sounds like a cheap and ill-fitting suit. A summer-weight suit won’t be too warm when it’s warm, and I’ve never had a problem with my movement being restricted in a suit.
