For those who don't know me well, I am a woman but prefer men's attire, particularly of the antique (usually edwardian perhaps through 1950's, but that's pushing it) variety. I also love dandyism. After years of searching, I think I finally found a lounge suit! It doesn't say so in the description, but when I fed the words into Perplexity and asked what sort of suit it was, it told me lounge. I am totally blind, so I cannot see the images. This is the sort of thing that would be worn daily to almost every informal occasion, from business meetings, to shopping, to luncheon with friends, to a walk around the park, to seeing a doctor or getting a haircut. It's the winter version, made with wool, though some are in lighter fabrics, such as linen, for the summer. This is a modern reproduction but sounds like it has no synthetic materials, unlike many that I keep seeing with ridiculous things such as polyester, zippers, etc. It can be worn with buttoned boots, but also with Oxfords or other lace-up shoes.

This, in contrast, is truly formal dayware, suitable for a wedding or some other serious occasion. As you can tell, this one is authentic. No, I won't be buying it, as I don't need such a suit right now. Oddly enough, it is very easy to find morning suits, tuxedos, etc. but not lounge suits..

Earlier this week, I began thinking. I had heard of running suits, but is there such a thing as a walking suit? It turns out that there is. These are quite informal and are normally used in the country or when out for city strolls, but not for everyday occasions like the lounge suits. Regardless, I can't find one anywhere. It was difficult enough finding this!
