Notes -
I’d like to put forward a very informal survey, as I’m curious about one aspect about the demographics here.
I’d like to know how many people who post here;
1.) Own one set of formal wear or something considered appropriate for business or formal social occasions. IE A suit, a tuxedo, dress pants combined with a Hawaiian shirt, a Guyabara / Yucatán shirt, a thawb & keffiyeh, etc.
2.) Wear it at least once a quarter, or at least four times a year.
I think I got my greatest pushback here & in the old place and it was specifically about a fashion related issue, so my sociology sense is tingling. I’d like to know how much of an outlier I am here.
Show of hands, please.
4 suits, 1 odd pair of trousers and 2 sports jackets. Planning to expand a bit, actually.
I wear the suits for conferences and night outs and of course for formal events like weddings, etc. at least once a quarter and often wear odd trouser/jacket combinations to work. I would like to wear them more but everybody around me is super casual and I don't want to stick out too much.
I quite like men's classic attire. It's very comfortable and practical. I wish people would wear it more.
