RexTalionis: If suits are not to your liking, might I suggest:

But only AFTER 6 PM, of course, we're not Philistines.

I'm a huge fan of the "mullet" approach to business casual. Nice, unworn/untorn/unfaded pair of jeans, dress shirt, tie, decent shoes (not dress or sneakers). Business up top, casual on the bottom.

Anyone ever stop to consider what a suicidal garment the cape is? Look at it. It attaches AROUND YOUR NECK and the rest of it billows out behind you trying to get snagged on/in anything possible for that "Clothesline" effect.

I think they're supposed to settle around your shoulders, but I've never figured out how to make that work. I'd ask my LARP friends, but they're all "fark capes, acquire tabards". Weirdos. :)

bluehubcap: Mr_Ectomy: Subby is living in the past, golf shirts and khakis are the new uniform. Now THAT is f*cking boring

Ugh. I thought we were over those and were back to suits.

Half of my office looks like either Bruno Mars or the guys from Mad Men. It's made me wear skirts a bit more often, let me tell you.

So a win-win all around?

(((sigh)))

This thread is a major fashion let down...

...oh yea, I just remembered I'm on Fark.

Wore a suit for a few years and hated it.

I vote jorts.

And love the kilt pics and the period drama vidya! Yum!

Nabb1: xanadian: KingoftheCheese: Suits are awesome, subby. If I could afford it, I'd have a suit for every day of the week.

Look-wise, I'd say "same here," but I hate wearing neck ties. But, yes, a nice suit is super-sharp.

Try buying dress shirts In a larger neck size. If you find a tie uncomfortable, most likely the shirt is the culprit.

Totally this. Get sized. Buy custom.

For all around dress-casual office environments



For more formal dress occasions, like when entertaining the IPO financial partners



For visiting those under-performing field offices that have to be dragged and kicking into the company's strategic plan ...



And for when you just have to knuckle down and get it done yourself ..

Fenga papits

Being Native, I'll just stick to our usual suit....






Just not at work!!!

You can't fault Ferengi for their sense of business fashion.

Is she checking to see if he "catches"?

I'd be happy to wear a suit and tie, but not today's version. Wide ties, awful-looking cuts on jackets. Blech. I prefer the thin ties and thin lapels of the early 60's. THIS is how a man should look in public:



THIS IS WHAT COOL IS.

I wear a suit a few times a year I got a couple for weddings, funerals, court, work functions. But nobody at my job wears a suit hell today the president is in a polo and khakis. When I was at another work site my dikfur boss told me I would get farther in the company if I dressed better. I pointed out how my work speaks for itself and when Im not there it is felt and if he wanted me to dress better he should pay better and get me a job where I would have a better than 90% chance of not having some crap spilled on me.

bluehubcap: That aside, there is nothing that will make me lust after a man more than a great suit, a clean shave and a splash of personality and style in the tie (or even fun socks).

Soooo I should wear a suit to the Toronto Fark Party?

Mr. Cool forgot his hat. Sartorial fail.

You know, for what it's worth - if you claim to be a 'green' company by have to crank the AC because everyone is wearing suits during the summer, don't expect anyone to take you seriously.

LOL I read Armageddon-2419 A.D. by Philip Francis Nowlan, the ORIGINAL Buck Rogers novel, first published 1928.

In it, he described the clothing of the future as a very light, stretchy, form-fitting fabric. Basically, he STARTED the trend in Spandex for sci-fi. Never mind that Spandex wasn't even invented until 1959. Thus the black-and-white Buster Crabbe Buck Rogers (and Flash Gordon, Buster played both, which was confusing, that's like casting Mark Hamill as captain of the Enterprise) serials didn't have Spandex yet either, even though it was in the book. They tried to make these tight-fitting shirts out of regular fabric but the cut just comes out awkward.

Of course, in 1928, he could not have predicted how many people would be far too fat to be wearing Spandex by the 21st century.

Why is Josh Cribbs in a kilt?

Subby you are dreamer.

How long have you been unemployed?

azazyel: I can't imagine having to wear a suit to work. Especially in the Summer.

Suits are sharp, but, in the summer, they really suck. Especially if you're wearing one under the desert sun...

...a dreamer

Anyone for chain mail?

The short term sting of firing you is far less painful than the long term damage of hubris.

//still doesn't mind them once in a while.
///hasn't worn one in years

That boss got fired long ago for his hubris. I come to work do my work to the best of my ability and my clients recognize that. My primary job right now is a loading dock manager, nothing special but the people I work with make it harder than it is. My secondary job is to make sure the building I work in works. It is a little bit harder but not by much. So I spend a lot of time in places that would be unfriendly to suits. So I dont wear one.

NO CAPES!
