    Welcome to the 1960s board room photo.

    Suit is a Suit Supply Napoli, 42L, in navy with black Prince of Wales pattern.

    Okay listen, my preference is to poke fun at you amap but my guy, your enthusiasm for dressing well is contagious and paying off in spades. Your mother might’ve been a hamster, etc, but you look pretty damn excellent

    Hrmph

    You’re pretty damn excellent homie

    Sure is nice to see your face... Especially when the rest of you is in a suit. Exquisite.

    Exquisite?! That's...that's somewhere in the realm of pretty. I like being called pretty. :blushing:

    It is an odd adjective... I'll give you that... But really, some of these suits look so fine they ARE beautiful in their own right. A fine tailored suit is like a work of art.

    Sadly... All I've ever had has been Walmart poster print... But damn, I sure do appreciate a Rembrandt when I see it.

    Bonobos Italian wool in athletic fit jacket, 40L. Pants are slim fit in 33 waist. One of my cheapest suits due to the lack of alterations, this one has had no tailoring at all. 🪡

    Tie is a charcoal grenadine silk, shirt is Bonobos tailored fit with charcoal and teal check. Shoes not shown are dark brown whole cut brogues.

    @5ofseven If not posting to the leg thread means that you post here instead, I'm not going to argue 🤷🏾‍♀️ Blue is a great colour on you too, btw.

    @MaltedTea

    I might someday post my legs again, but not until I've got them back somewhere near worth looking at. They are mine, so I get to make the rules around their nudity. :blushing:

    Blue is my favorite, and oddly I really like light blues. I even have a full light blue suit, not just shirts - it takes a lot for me to work up the courage to wear that suit, because it's very different to see, and frankly is hard to accessorize. It really only works in the blazing hot of summer.

    Probably so. It's an honor and a humbling thing to be asked to put on even more clothes before sharing pictures. ;)

    BTW, it's nice to see you here again.

    Just popping in to remind you that there were also requests for naked legs... so you're getting both!

    Summer suit. Vibrant light blue, no shoulder padding, butterfly lined for cool wear, patch pockets, sockless with walnut shoes. You can go tieless with this very quickly. I wear it only 2-5x a year, usually to summer weddings or outdoor concerts.

    I have 5(?) suits that qualify as summer suits. This one is colored in such a way that is really only late spring and summer appropriate, and it took awhile to figure out how to accessorize it. The usual things like dark shoes and dark ties only make the blue stand out even more, and don't look right.

    @KickassAmazon76 I'm showing ankle just for you!

    Awwww 😊you're so sweet! Thank you!

    BTW... It is an understatement to say you suit up well! Your selections and descriptions are impeccable.

    There is a very unholy association of suits with elitism and wealth. Especially since the emergence of Reddit Wall Street bets and the concept of the retail investor

    It’s like citing someone from the KGB or royalty

    Can't a girl just appreciate thoughtful tailoring and some cufflinks? 😩
    If you’re in New York it’s getting dangerous to venture out in a suit.

    One, you get attacked because you are allegedly successful when rest of America is on food stamps. Or you just get robbed because you have things.

    Firms advise employees to dress down because of the economic pitfalls associated with people in suits. This is the number one decline for the tailoring industry. Goodwill people say their inventory of used suits is skyrocketing

    If office folks don’t buy suits and suit accessories, it kills a whole line of industry. Tailors have almost closed business and are only surviving because of women’s clothes

    In fact it would be more appropriate to say suits are increasing in usage among women. That’s a whole another topic.

    Downtown NYC here ... suits, suits and more suits! They are everywhere lol my friends on Wall St think this is blasphemy. ☺️

    Always intrigued by guys who wear suits with shoes with ankle socks/no socks for the following reasons;
    1) Should not be done by the likes of me who has pasty Irish white skin as it looks hideous.
    2) Anytime I have worn shoes with ankle socks but not with a suit but more when I am on holidays, my ankles always get cut up when socks arent covering them with the shoes. Dont know how you all do it. The pain and the look of the ankles all cut up is horrible.

    This sounds like a conversation you need to have with a cobbler, a podiatrist or both. If you can't break your shoes in, then maybe bespoke dress shoes could be an option for you? Looking at orthotics could be another. Or...just keep wearing socks lol Your look is your look and if you don't feel comfortable and confident in it, it will show.

    As for you @billy1727, the suit looks great on you! Love how the tie cooperates nicely with the shoes and your suit's colours
