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?
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.
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

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

2003, ganstas in suits?
Those aren't typical gentlemen postures or fittings for that period.
The lower looks like healthy yale grads in properly tailored suits.

It has a name: the Great Male Renunciation.

And it was caused 100% by Beau Brummell.
Which is an exaggeration, but not by much. The guy had quite the life, and is responsible for what became modern mens fashion.

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

A well cut suite is really comfortable. I think many complaints about uncomfortable suits are from people who only know cheap plastic suites.
moakley@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 197d
It's not more comfortable than my v-neck and shorts that I wear every day.
ICastFist@programming.dev · 3 pts · 197d
I mean, most people don't have the money to buy a well cut suit
Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de · 4 pts · 197d
even if i did, why on earth would i blow it on something so utterly pointless as a suit?

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

Meh, I look great in anything, or in nothing at all.

Easy access to antibiotic-laden meat has made us too huge to fit in nice clothes.
