Title: Does anyone else LOVE wearing suits?
Post by: LatrellHK on December 13, 2014, 11:17:45 PM
Just curious. I've always loved suits as a kid and nowadays I find any excuse to wear one. Even when I'm bored, I'll throw on my suit and strut around in it! I love suits a lot and am extremely excited to begin buying my prom tux, white with undecided vest and tie. I've also noticed ever since i got my haircuts and wore my first suit, I look way better. I also get hit on frequently but thats another story  ;). Otherwise does anyone else love wearing suits or is it just my weird fascination  :D. Well suits and my warmups for track season!

I work in an office that dresses down 24/7, I'm the only one that wears button downs, ties and nice pants to work 3/5 days. I get complimented so much by my bosses that they told the manager to start dressing better. lol

Not so much a suit, but I do like wearing a waistcoat and tie.  I'll like it even more when I finally have top Sx and my clothes fit properly.

The avatar I have should say it all! :D

Yes, I love wearing suits and waistcoats/vests, unfortunately, I do NOT have a full on 3-pieced suit atm.  :icon_ashamed:

In the New year I hope to change that with some of the extra cash that I no longer will have to pay for my car loan!  :eusa_dance:

I love wearing suits- any type of dress clothes really. I've got a nice collection of dress clothes over the years. Haven't gotten a chance to wear anything as of late since no big events have gone on but I'm thinking about busting something out for christmas.

I've never really worn a suit, sort of because I try to avoid getting ->-bleeped-<- from my mom if I can. But I've always wished I could wear one. Really want to get myself one now..

I don't even have a suit (haven't really come across any situation that would've absolutely required it) but I'd love to have one some day. They are just damn expensive. @_@

I love men who dress well. Men who wear suits, or a nice shirt, and pants - Mmmmmm.

Go for it - please!

Yes, from that one experience when I was 14 who dressed up in my dad's collared shirt and tie.

Yeah I used to collect suit jackets at goodwill. I wear button down shirts, slacks and ties any chance I get. Usually with a sweater, cause even law school seems to think suits are a bit formal for everyday wear.

I like dress casual a whole lot, ties and dress shirts and cardigans. I'm starting to come back to my initial love of andro style and I love suits with women's cardigans/button downs since my face looks masculine.

Well I don't wear suits like 24/7, I just realized my style of clothing involves lots of button-ups, collared shirts, and reg jeans. Only a few things I have aren't buttons and collars but just normal t-shirts lol. I've been told I don't dress like normal teens sometimes.

I've only worn a men's suit once. I'm gendered female at work, and don't have any other excuses (and even if I *was* seen as a guy, none of my coworkers wears suits! Cordoroy pants and a knit tie is pretty dressy around my office).  But one of my friends was getting married and I kind of absurdly insisted on getting a three-piece suit for the occasion.  It was foolish, but awesome.  Now I just need more occasions to wear it!  Ironically, though, I'm so universally seen as female that people don't even do a double-take seeing me in men's clothes.  It's perceived as an idiosyncratic clothing choice, but nothing more.  I've got mixed feelings about that-- gives me way more freedom in how I dress, but it's quite frustrating from a gender identity perspective. 

The things that I love the most about my suit? The pockets! And the room!  I've worn quite a few women's suits in my time, and they're nowhere near as comfortable, and have nowhere near the carry space.  Everything but an ipad pocket.  (It says a lot about the sexualization vs function of men's and women's bodies and clothing.)

It's true that most teens don't wear a lot of button front shirts. They more trend towards the skinny jeans and hoodies and t-shirts etc. Good for you for being true to yourself!

I would love wears a full piece suit, but I can't afford one, and I really don't have an occasion to wear one.  I do have a male shirt and a pair of male suit pants, but I can rarely find an occasion to wear those, and they are kind of big on me....well the shirt is.

Suits are sharp, I enjoyed wearing them back in the day. It depresses me that society has declined to where wearing a suit is is some sort of class intimdation where I live.

I would LOVE suits a lot more if they looked decent on me.

Although, I'm not sure I actually like formal/standard suits as much as I just like dressing fancy. THIS. (http://www.pinterest.com/pin/535998793126092879/) Get this on my body right now!

Woah :o, buy me that suit and I'll fall in love immediately!
Male clothes do look big on me. I'm a small person :laugh: but whatever, I make it work! Besides, all I do is walmart half and Macys the other half. Like heres how my C-Ball (Christmas Ball/Dance) suit went por ejemplo:
Walmart bought red shirt, red/black/grey/white tie, socks, and pants.
Used my brothers shoes (too big for him)
Went to Jcpenny and bought a vest
The whole thing cost about $85 total, the most expensive thing being the $55 vest lol.  :laugh: Plus it all fit quite nice enough to work.

That's something else I'm looking forward to when I have Top Sx: wearing sweater vests over button-down shirts, with the knot of a tie peeping over the collar.  Or a jumper over a button-down shirt.  I could do it now, but the chesticles stretch everything out and make me uncomfortable.

I am going in the new year with two friends to get properly "outfitted", so hoping to rock out some pics for y'all then.

I know I'm not your average teenage guy when I say I love suits, I love my button up shirts, and I like snug fitting pants, but not skinny jeans oh God no. I do however like wearing T-Shirts when its hot as balls outside and I'm dying in my button ups.

I love wearing suits but find it difficult getting ones to fit me. Once I've finally had top surgery I'll have more of a chance to wear them. Can't wait to do the whole waistcoat thing on some nights out too. I know I could try just now, but my chest is just too big to pull it off

I wear a jacket and tie once a week; sometimes a suit (once every few months).  Since I was denied that privilege earlier in life, I take advantage. Esp. after being forced to wear dresses and panty hose!! ::SHUDDER::  I'd rather be choked by a tight shirt and tie.

And I've decided if I ever get married, I'm wearing a tux, just because. ;D

I want to love suits. I want to be able to afford a suit that fits. I want to wear something that looks good.
But...I hate suits. I hate how nothing off the rack is anywhere near fitting. I hate the little bunching mound on the back of the neck. I hate not being able to find a collar that doesn't cover my entire neck. I hate how the buttons are two low for my body. I hate how there's WAY too much room in the chest/armpits.

If I could get close with something off the rack, for a very affordable price, I'd love suits! But not being able to get a collared shirt that fits or any other component makes it difficult to enjoy.

Try getting a fitting or anything?

I've been to stores. The cost for alterations to make it fit in the sleeves, shoulders, back, armpits, hips, etc ends up costing more than the suit. I've been told I need to buy a custom made suit just to make it fit.

Ties. I LOVE ties.
And waistcoats, but they look horrible on me.

Suits are good looking. But I don't like wearing them, and I do not like ties. Sometimes I wear it to my job, but still I don't like it. All this is good looking, but It's it's terrible to have on. They are uncomfortable for me. But I like creative shirts.

If I had the means, I'd probably splurge and buy myself a nice suit, although I do love collecting ties. I usually wear button ups, sometimes with ties, but I haven't worn a suit yet... just haven't really had any occasion come up to permit one.
