Speak for yourself. Casual clothes killed most ironing but ain't nobody showing up in a wrinkled suit.
I don't even own a suit haha
I wish they were more affordable in the US. I love wearing a suit, makes me feel like a mobster. lol Cosplay for the unstable.
Hopefully no weddings or funerals coming up. Then again, if you're American, I've seen people show up to a wedding in shorts and a baseball cap. No ironing required.
The most recent funeral I attended, only the deceased's brother wore a suit, the rest of the family wore basically everyday clothes, as did 99% of the attendants. I left my suit jacket in the car because I felt overdressed.
Was this in the US?
It was, yes.
The deceased wasn't the type that would want anyone to put on their Sunday best just for him, so it made sense. But when I mentioned it to my father, he commented that no one really wears suits to funerals anymore, or even weddings.
Just across (south) of the bay from you judging by your name: I was at a funeral recently, not many people wore suits. Of course, nobody wore shorts or anything, but not too many formal suits.
Here black suit is usually the way to go
That's how we did my grandfather's memorial. Grandma didn't want it to feel formal and we weren't about to force that.
I didn't for a long time either. Then I needed one.
Unless you're upper management or going to a wedding/funeral/formal event, why would you even wear a suit? In the last decade I've worn my suit 3 or 4 times in the last decade, and they were all weddings or funerals.
Give it a try. Hit up a thrift store and get some great tacky suits from the 70s and 80s, if you can find em. It's a bit of fun to wear them when it's not necessary or expected. I probably wouldn't wear a really nice wedding/funeral suit in such cases because I spill fucking everything and would become destitute from the dry cleaning bills.
Now, if it were a social expectation/requirement, it would suck and not be fun. But, as a choice that one can make, it's great sometimes.
I have a tailored suit in my closet, but there's no way in fuck I'm showing up to work in that suit or any other suit.
For one, I work from home and I want to actually be comfortable. For two, if I was going into the office, I would ruin it at some point crawling under desks and behind racks and shit.
Absolutely there with you. Hence my suggestion of thrift store.
And for wearing one to the office? I also work from home so, would only likely do so to confuse my wife.
Where I work the staff still wear full suits for the most part. I think it's a more traditional workplace though.
Yeah I should have put an edit in. I didn't know this was going to blow up like this. I don't wear a suit or formal clothes more than about once a year, for the events of friends and families. I'm not trying to say it's an every day thing.
How often do you wear a suit? Dry clean as necessary, hang it up between uses. I've never ironed a suit.
That doesn't proof it from wrinkles, especially if you need to travel to the event.
Clothing steamers are less damaging though.
I've never had one actually work though. Irons, used properly, are safe and they work.
Mine does.
Bully for you?
?
I'm glad it works for you.
On the rare occasion I have to wear a dress shirt for work, I'm making sure it's as wrinkled as possible. I wouldn't want to be mistaken for one of the execs, it gives the impression that you don't work hard. I think it'll continue bubbling up in the same way not wearing a tie and not having curtails did.
