Do you wear suits to work?

Oh ok

I'm sorry, sir, but this is CVS.

I hate wearing them myself, but I love when a hot coworker is well dressed.

Same as you OP. Before pandemic yes, now just business casual.

Suits were going away even before the pandemic, right?

I had to for one statistician job, a government position where I didn't even have to meet the public.

It annoyed the living shit outta me.

I lasted there about a year -- but the actual research and statistics were a lot of fun. And I learned a lot about government programs for children.

[quote]Suits and ties are so fucking uncomfortable.

And just look at some of the cunts who wear them.

Only when I had to interview for the job, thankfully!

I got one when I had my first job during school years at a department store, working Thursday night and Saturday mornings and full days on holidays. My mother and I practically came to blows when she took me to buy it as I hated the one she chose. But I got used to it. Never wore one EVER after that in my years of working.

I wear a dress shirt and tie (by choice). I just like the way I look.

I never wear full suits. Just too damn hot and uncomfortable. Plus the dry cleaning bills.

classical musician. so wear sloppy rags to rehearsals. fancy suits to performances

rehearsal

performance

I don’t even own a suit. And never will. Suits and ties are the most uncomfortable things to wear.

What do you wear to funerals, r14? Oh, and are you male?

I’m male, and why do you need to wear a suit to a funeral? I don’t see a lot of men wearing suits to funerals anymore. Dress pants, sweater. It’s all I need.

Thanks, r16. I'm old, and I have neither been to a funeral nor had a suit that fits in decades. Things have changed, apparently for the better. I have always hated suits, and have a drawerful of ties I haven't worn in at least 25 years. Again, thanks.

I only wore a suit to work from 1995 until 2002. I worked at a Wall Street law firm. During the summer there we were allowed to dress down a little on Fridays.

Then I left and went to work at a commercial bank. They established permanent business casual in 2002. I retired last year.

I assume Trump has ended them all

A good looking man in a stylish well fitting suit is a wonderful thing to see.

As long as it’s not one of those Thom Browne deals.

What really sucks is the air conditioning in offices is still set to make a man in a suit feel comfortable.

Yet no one is in a suit and there are many women in the office. It’s fucking freezing

How have you gotten through life without owning a suit? Do you rent a suit for special occasions?

Somehow, I don't think the suit that OP would wear to work is, umm, [italic]suitable[/italic] for special occasions.

I work from home. They’re lucky I wear pants.

I'm long retired but I wore a suit every day at work for 33 years at the same company. We had such a strict dress code that we provided a clothing allowance for lower level employees so they could meet the guidelines. I donated a few suits over the years to various charities and had some of them reworked by a tailor when their style went out of fashion. Over all my years working I ended up with a large number of expensive suits, dress shirts & ties. When I retired I eventually tired of looking at all those suits just hanging in closets and decided to donate many of them to Goodwill. I selected 12 suits and 15 white dress shirts and a slew of expensive ties. I called Goodwill and told them what I had to donate and asked them if they had anyone who could come and get them as the haul was just too much for me to deal with. They did send a man over and he couldn't believe what he was picking up. Most of the garments came from Brooks Brothers and were not cheap. Goodwill got a treasure trove of high end suits and I ended up with a nice tax write off.

Now I've got 3 very nice suits that I rarely need to wear. I try to stick with sports coats and nice slacks. I don't think I've put any of the suits on in the last few years other than for funerals.

I own 4 suits, but never want to wear them again. Even for the last funeral I attended, I wore dark slacks and a sweater. My niece is getting married soon so I’ll likely have to pull out a suit from the closet

This was typical during a New York summer in the early 20th century

An article about it:

An easy way to cool off...

I want a boss like this

^^NSFW

I've spent most of my working life in academia, so no. Now I work from home, so Hell No.

I like wearing one

With the right body, the right cut, the right materials and colors, a suit can look so great in a guy.

I absolutely hate wearing them, insanely uncomfortable, from the collar and tie down to the footwear. Last one was at my sisters wedding two decades ago

Work? What's that?

Not for long
