Fancy Suit Obsession

[RomulusBC]

Does anyone else have an obsession with really fancy tuxedos/suits? Because I freaking love them! I can't wait to complete my transition years from now and start wearing suits and look fabulous! 


Like Gatsby.

I have an unhealthy obsession with a lavender tuxedo cosplay based on King Endymion's tuxedo in Sailor Moon.  Here's a picture of it.









One of the things I'm doing after I get my top surgery done is getting a customized cosplay tuxedo like this.  I will be cosplaying in that tuxedo.  Not only that, I will go to church in that tuxedo and I will be getting married in that tuxedo.  I will lounge around at home in this tuxedo.

Yes!  I love vests, ties, suits, etc.  Actually, I got lucky and found a nice vest recently, and then had cause to wear it!  Awesome!  Here's a picture.  (This picture has not been altered.  This is exactly what my face looks like when I wear a nice vest.)

I can't wait to complete my transition years from now and start wearing suits and look fabulous! 

Me too! 

[wolfduality]

Yes! I've told my wife I'm going to wear vests/ties/collared-button on shirts/suits all the damn time. I love them though I don't consider myself preppy.

I seem to have a thing for the business casual style so I love things like this:



My girlfriend always talks about the ties she wants to get me and she's already planning on buying me a suit after I've transitioned. 

[Mr.X]

Yes! I love suits. Always wanted to have one. Just a black, fancy one.
Whenever I was invited to a fancy dress party, I was jealous on the guys being allowed to wear suits, while the women had to wear stupid dresses. So I never went.

But soon now. Sooooonnnn.

I love suits with a passion. That is one thing that I will love forever because looking nice is something I always want to do. I have a couple old school style zoot suits

The only suit I've ever had the chance to wear was a purple one I got from the thrift store for a cosplay, haha. I'd love to wear a proper suit and tie one time, though! After I walked into my bedroom to find my boyfriend wearing my senior prom dress (and after I got over the initial surprise, haha), he casually suggested that one Mardi Gras the two of us go to the parades with him wearing a prom dress and me wearing a tuxedo. Haha, I'd still very much like to do that one time, but I think it probably won't end up happening. In any case, I'll still find an opportunity to wear a nice suit by myself one time!

LOL @ Farm Boy

I was never that big into suits, but I did start liking them more after reading After School Nightmare.

He just looks so fancy in them. <3

I think what I worry about more than anything is that'd I'd have trouble finding something in my size. I bought a woman's vest before (I think just a medium), and it was about two sizes too big for me. For that reason, I feel like finding men's clothes would be even harder (although I can't really say I've tried). Maybe one say I'll find a nice dress shirt and alter the vest I have and see how it looks. If I like it, I might try for the fancy look more often.

I do have a good obsession with casual ties, though. Most of the bfs I've had in the past can't put a tie on, but I can do it perfectly in ten seconds, haha. I even have a few fancy ties that I wore with casual outfits sometimes, although I haven't found any casual men's clothes yet to wear them with (I always wore them as a girl). So maybe once I find a good fancy suit or outfit, I can start wearing them again.

Gotta love a nice suit and the confidence they put into your walk.  I wish it was a little easier to lift your arms in them though.

I got myself a suit really cheap at H&M, not amazing, but a pretty nice suit for the price.

I have dreamed of wearing a tuxedo since prom, looks like that wont happen till I convince my babe to get married haha

Funny you mention prom! I wore a suit to mine! I hated the jacket though, it made me look so fat and it was ungodly hot to wear. So I just rocked the vest and pants, and I looked damn good I think

I like wearing clothes that fit, and when I "dress up" I really want to dress up. Sadly, it's really hard to find fitted clothing. I'm not going to buy anything too fitted and fancy until my body has settled in shape.

[aleon515]

Wouldn't say I have an obsession either. But I really like how I look in a tie. I think it sort of allows me to be more masculine. So it is kind of a cool thing. I never really liked the way I looked as a girl/woman. I agree re: properly fitting clothes but it is so hard now.

I love suits, especially the vest look that others have posted pictures of above. Unfortunately, I can't find any men's suits that fit and actually look good on me since I am short and with shoulders that are smaller than the average cismen.

I think I am going to start going for a more andro look at work since I currently wear female suits there.

I have that problem too.  My best answer has been the kids' section.  I'm 5' 7" so most stuff is too short, but sometimes I get lucky.  The vest I'm wearing in the picture is actually a size 12 in children's.  I figure if I ever get a suit, I'll have to pay to get it tailored because I doubt I'll ever find one that fits.

$300 will get you a completely custom made suit.
Seen here
There's also this:

for $129 which isn't that bad.

I am rather fond of dress shirts and ties on myself. I find suits to be uncomfortable and warm. One day, I aspire to hold a job that requires a dress shirt/tie attire, and then I will own 50 of each.

[Edge]

I have a fondness for anachronistic apparel and long coats.

[RomulusBC]

The tux I wore to prom, I hated the jacket so I just left it off the entire night. I absolutely loved the shirt and vest combo!

[PHXGiRL]

OMG men who dress professional in suits and dress slacks are way HOT. My favorite.
