...or at least a decent shirt, jacket and trousers. Seriously..?
It used to be common that men wore at least the above I've mentioned, if not a full suit. And yet now a guy wearing one is either a businessman or going to a wedding (or job interview). I wear a suit on a regular basis and the sheer number of whispered comments, funny looks and even insults I get isn't funny. You'd think I was wearing a banana costume or something.
So, what's happened to suits and dressing decently guys?

All suits are being replaced with baggy trowsers with your underwear sticking out, and hoodies. Chain wallets have also replaced a monocle, top hat, and pocket watch.
Also this thread is a thinly veiled attempt for you to brag about how you wear a suit everyday now, which will also bait some chump into asking you 'why you wearing a suit everyday, Fassa', to which your reply will be the second thing you'd like you brag. You're getting sly at covering them up, but your formula is always the same.  |

I hardly wear jeans anymore and usually wear trousers and a button up shirt. If its cold I'll wear a jacket. No one thinks I'm a businessman but many think I look quite dashing.
