If you want to dress properly, you need to plan ahead. It is tough to grab off the rack without some alterations.

Quoted: always dress to work. you go ahead and change a tire with a sport jacket and dockers on. i'll keep my carhartts and tshirts. View Quote People see me work in button ups and jackets all the time. I am not talking about mowing grass but if something needs moved or done right then, I do it. big deal they are just clothes. In fact I find a button up shirt easier to work in than a T-shirt. The problem is many aren't comfortable in these clothes so when they wear them they unwittingly look like a robot. If you wear these clothes with confidence then people just know they belong on you. It doesn't make you immobile. |

Look online at Jos. A. Bank’s website. Work from home and Zoom have killed their business. You can get suits delivered to you for $69.00. Dress shirts for $9.00. Ties 3 for $15.00. Stock up now before they go out of business.

Quoted: Never had much use for the section of "society" folk that would look down on me for not wearing a suit and tie. Most that would, in my observation, are boring social leaches. I'd rather work the kitchen. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/413035/originals_jpg-2080110.JPG View Quote Those people control almost every aspect of your life. |

I used to wear suits pretty often. I do enjoy wearing quality well fitted clothing. But my work no longer requires it so it's pretty rare now.

In all the seasons I worked in Antarctica I never saw anyone wearing a sport jacket or a suit. Never. Stupid clothes are stupid.

8 pages and nobody yet mentioned concealment on a gun forum.
I was a teacher for years, tucked in shirt, dress pants and carry in school was a felony (KY). I loathe the thought of tucking in my shirt, have not done it in about 4 years and don't intend to. Untucked shirt, cargo shorts everywhere along with a Glock 19 in the FL heat, in a "good area". Hell, even the preacher at church wears shorts or jeans with a untuckef shirt. |

Quoted: In all the seasons I worked in Antarctica I never saw anyone wearing a sport jacket or a suit. Never. Stupid clothes are stupid. View Quote Did you attend many events in Antarctica where semi-formal or formal attire would have been the standard or the correct choice to wear? I'm amazed that some of you guys have on concept of dressing for the event. I think it's great that I get to wear work pants, boots and a T shirt to work every day. I also think it's great that I can wear gym shorts and sneakers to work out, you dress for the occasion. I don't see why it's such a big deal to wear a nice set of pants and a button up shirt, maybe a jacket to an event where people will be dressing better than their day to day wear. |

I don't wear dress clothes because I don't go anywhere they're the type of clothing that's worn.
|

Hell no.
Me dressing up is wearing a button-up tactical shirt I have and a pair of kakhis. Most of the time it's shorts and t-shirts for me. Salomon shoes too. :) |

No store wants an inventory of decent dress clothes that they can't sell. Us boomers might but one item every 2 years, younguns might buy one item every5 years.

I have a style assistant, she sleeps in the same bed as me
That being said, I've always had "nice" dress clothes. A lot of men could use some fitting advice even if it isn't tailoring. if left to their own devices, I think most of the time guys buy clothes that are way too big and baggy and look like shit. Even if the clothes aren't "nice." they'll look 10x better if they fit right. That means sometimes a certain brand or style of pant or whatever will never look right on you. It doesn't matter if it's Wrangler, or Tom Ford. That being said, my everyday is a polo, jeans, and ball cap. It fits the occasion. |

Quoted: I used to wear suits pretty often. I do enjoy wearing quality well fitted clothing. But my work no longer requires it so it's pretty rare now. View Quote The majority of my daily work wear is duluth trim fit pants and trim fit long sleep button downs with a bunch of interesting polos i've collected over the years i mix in. I think i've worn my two pairs nice Allen Edmund dress shoes maybe 1-2 times in the last 3.5 years. I usually just rock one of my nicer pairs of adidas shoes that match my outfit even with a suit now. They're comfortable and add a bit of my own flair. It's 2021. There's a lot of ways to dress nice without looking like Grandpa Ezekiel from 1923. |

Married guys, that don’t wear collared shirts, suits or blazers, does your wife ever want to get dressed up and go out to a place that requires a reservation?

I haven't bought nice clothes since college, for job interviews. Since I only use it rarely, it still looks good. When I was in a clinic, polo and Vertx pants, thankfully not in that job anymore.
I've never owned a sports coat. Never understood the point. Looks dumb with jeans, looks bad when mismatched to your pants. Just wear a dang suit. At work, scrubs. At home, shorts or jeans. I have, maybe, 5 polo shirts and probably 5 dress shirts, all gathering dust. |

Cargo pants (or shorts) tee shirt and beanie for all the things

COVID accelerating the work from home culture change certainly has something to do with it.
But that’s also kind of an excuse. When I wore suits to work they were strictly for work. At a nice dinner with my wife I’d do some sort of jacket/nice shirt thing but not a work suit. |

Maybe most men have bigger fish to fry and more important things to do than tarting themselves up like dandies?

i once had to wear a tie every day....they are now so old they are back in fashion(if you wear ties)
for the last 30+ years mostly selling higher end RE in my home town ,I wore cargo shorts or carhartt/airiet gray workpants ,solomons (or some sort of boot, Blundstones often) t shirt or flannel, carhartt hoody or something like that and a baseball hat...my last office had a dress code....I negotiated a deal that let me wear whatever I wanted. Basically I shopped at the local Farm Store. when I got married 11 years ago, I got a nice suit or whatever you call it......as people and close friends came to the wedding they asked were I was....no one recognized me in a suit....got to admit I did look pretty sharp Id like to have a nice again suit someday, seem to be going to more funerals every year. I have been getting in shape over the last year, and kinda told myself myself when I loose the rest of my love handles....I will get a suit(or something nice) |

I think I have two long sleeve button up shirts, and two ties. They’re for job interviews, so I don’t recall seeing either one in more than 8 years. And with any luck I won’t need them ever again. Whether that’s because I stay til retirement, or sink a lot of money into investments and retire regardless of age, or this society finally finishes fucking itself in the ass and collapses to cry in the corner, remains to be seen.
A wedding is a funeral for a man’s soul. The guys I’m close enough to to ever go to some kind of event know better than to get married. I wouldn’t go anyway. I don’t do funerals. Dress clothes are uncomfortable shit that represent money that could have been spent much more wisely. |

Quoted: We’re all just walking around in 5.11s and Salomons now. Classless fuckers. View Quote I'm über classless then. And happy about it. It's about practicality not, not look at me. Never should have been in the first place. Vanity gets a lot of people in trouble. I see a lot more women wearing more practical clothing now as well and that is a good thing. |

Quoted:knowing when to dress up and having the capacity to do so is an integral part of being a man. View Quote No it's not. Depending on where you live and what you do, or even just not caring about it for any or no reason, "dressing up" has no bearing on "being a man". If that's your opinion for yourself only, then fine. I think it makes you look like a ridiculous peacock, but then that's just MY opinion. Just know when you start telling people that they have to be good at playing dress up like you to be a man that makes you an effete, elitist, snob and that you're completely full of shit. |

GD loves to wax nostalgic for the old days and how men used to be men. Those men might have worked all day long and gotten filthy to provide for their families, but most all put on their nicest clothes for church every Sunday or if they were attending a special event. It's just part of being well rounded. Not everyone needs an entire closet full of "nice clothes", but having a few items is no different than having appropriate clothing for all types of activities. I don't even own a dirtbike or quad anymore, but I still have my riding boots and pants should the situation pop up, same with my rodeo garb for when I have to work at one, or my gym clothes for when I work out or end up playing some sort of organized game. My suit and shirts live in my closet almost all the time, but they are there for when the situation warrants them. |

View Quote I get that dress clothes are considered by most of society to be the "appropriate" thing in some situations. I own a suit and wear it to weddings and funerals (and that's it). However, if somebody shows up to the funeral/wedding in jeans and a t-shirt, I don't look down on them, or think any less of them. At least they showed up. "Society" also currently thinks that all white people are racists and you should be forced to take a vaccine of dubious worth at the point of a gun, so just keep in mind that just because society thinks a thing does not make it true. The problem I have is this idea that you must be good at dress-up to be "complete", "well rounded", or some other bullshit like that. Judging people's manliness based on how they adorn themselves makes you sound like a peacock or some other fucking animal that shows it's pretty feathers and dances around. If that's you, again, that's fine, but it gives you zero high ground on which to stand to look down on somebody who chooses not to do that. If it's something you choose to do, fine. It's doesn't make you any "better", or "more". If it's something you choose not to give any kind of shit about, also equally fine. It doesn't make you "less" or in some way "incomplete". Period. |

Quoted: Because its frowned upon to be high brow, to be sophisticated. Appearing to be well off is disgusting. Means you don't get dirty. Of course this is coming from people who don't know what it feels like to dress nicely and the confidence it can bring, View Quote It’s a sign of the continuing coarsening of culture and society. Pretty typical of end stage empires throughout history. Along with the hedonism, do what feel is good, lack of accountability, and the mocking of traditional values and marriage.
