This comm is always reminding me of Behind the Bastards. The whole suit and tie thing had to come from somewhere didn’t it?

Great Male Renunciation. A reaction to the French revolution. How style for men was displayed no longer through expense of colors or keeping up with changing trends. Instead that wealth was shown by knowing the right materials to look like any common man but to those in the know be showing your class.

2003 vs. 2017. Maybe we’re headed back in the right direction.

I forget peak baggy pants made it into suits as well lol. It was an ok look for jeans (at an earlier point in the spectrum before it got ridiculous baggy, which is of course subjective) But the suits are always too funny. Like how many times can you wear those pants before they are ruined?

I forgot that “wearing my dad’s suit to prom” was the fashionable look for a while

Wait, do you mean we’re going to get NBA All-Stars, Codpiece Edition!?!

Those old jackets were awful but the new pants are way too slim, look at how they wrinkle!

So, a bit more color variety and more form fitting? Though skinny pants are awful, it’s hard to even sit

I said headed in the right direction, not immediate renaissance apparel.

I prefer either of these for parties over the casual men outfits today.

but have you considered

comfortable

Show threadwebghost0101Feb 21
Yes and as an autist i consider that the most important metric, no one should feel pressured to wear something uncomfortable, that said dressing in personally liked style itself can be a comfort of itself

A well cut suite is really comfortable. I think many complaints about uncomfortable suits are from people who only know cheap plastic suites.
Show threadI Cast FistFeb 21
I mean, most people don’t have the money to buy a well cut suit
Show threadSwedneckFeb 21

even if i did, why on earth would i blow it on something so utterly pointless as a suit?

Return to medieval peasant’s clothing: cheap simple fabrics dyed with flowers and stuff.

It’s like 15€ to get your trouser adjusted by a tailor

It’s not more comfortable than my v-neck and shorts that I wear every day.

That 1948 looks pretty damn good too though.
