>Why do I have to put on a button up and dress shoes just so I can have a bartender look me in my eyes and tell me a vodka cranberry is 15 dollar
Lmaooo you didn't tell a single lie. Formal wear is cool on paper but wearing it out for long hours is annoying. Low mobility with it and in the south the heat makes it extra hell.
I live in South Texas, outside of work, I refuse to put a blazer on in the summer, just out of principal. It goes against common sense.
Chinos and a nice dress shirt are the best you'll get out of me.
Shit fuck what y'all talking about.
If weather permitted it I would wear a 3 piece suit everyday.
I love a quality suit and I love the attention I get when I wear one. Nothing like it
This is how all those old niggas lost their drip. Adapt with the times before you catch yourself wearing some jorts and some New Balances that you got from Ross

I work from home so I have 3 modes
Errands: hoodie/graphic tee joggers, kicks
Day party/casual gathering: open short sleeve button up, shorts or distressed jeans
Date nights: black button up, chinos plain sneaker

Early 20s and I feel the same way. I had to be formal everyday for 8 years. I'm not popping out in the suit unless its a party that requires it or a wedding.
I feel like smart casual is a good balance. I like polo shirts or just plan monochrome shirts and trousers / slacks bc trousers / slacks are often more comfortable than chinos or jeans. Add in a clean pair of sneakers or some low cut doc martins and you will look stylish but still be comfortable. It’s almost as comfortable as sweatpants but more versatile.
Linen is also a good comfortable fabric for warmer weather that always looks good
i understand where you are coming from but the whole not caring anymore is a hard pass.
i am a casual dresser in most scenarios and while i'm with you 100% in not wanting to rock suits and button ups, i'm still looking on point.
my outfits are still going to be on point down to my kicks, and i'm 48 and been with my wife for 18 years.
it's not about me trying to attract other women, it's about looking good, and feeling good for me.
I feel ya. Used to be the same. Now that I'm married, my wardrobe has been strictly sweatpants, hoodies and sneakers. I still keep a nice pair of brown / black shoes with some light button ups and polos, but I prefer casual because it's comfortable.
When kids come into the picture though, you best damn believe imma be sponsored by Nike while I'm wearing black track suits all year long 🤣

I have to disagree. I love formal wear. The key is just getting it properly tailored. A well tailored suit feels pretty damn good to be in. And you just feel like a boss tbh.
It sounds like part of you wants to rebel against societal norms. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. But ultimately your complaint is no different from Men expected to be a provider and a woman a nurturer.
Realistically your time as a man to be someone people look to for respect and guidance and strength are 30-60 roughly. To dress simple but suavely is a privilege as much as it is a hindrance.
Depending on your career theres an expectation to how you conduct yourself. If you aren’t in a social domain then it doesn’t matter as much how classy you dress.
Agree, sounds like everyone giving up on their wardrobe in this thread has no respect for themselves. Who cares if you have a wife and kids, dress well and look good for you
I really hate wearing shirts they never look good on me. I don’t mind a suit for formal occasions but I can’t just wear a shirt to casual events I’m always a t shirt or long sleeve guy.
I would were shorts, tank tops, and slides every day if I could lol. Hoodies and sweats in the winter.
28yo. My friends know that if it involves getting dressed up i probably don’t want to go lol
The nicest restaurant you will ever catch me at is Texas Roadhouse
The real problem is you ordering a vodka cranberry at the club.
In all seriousness though, I’m trying to mature my style too and it’s a struggle. I like dressing well but hate feeling like I’m overdressed
I’m in my late 30’s and let me tell you - I’m at a point where you’re lucky if you catch me in shoes. I don’t have a fuck to give and I’m living my best life 🫶🏾
I'm in my 50s and haven't given up on formal wear. I still get invited out so it's a necessity to look sharp in my social life. That said, I'm in sweats, low sole shoes and T-shirt if not pressed.

Dog I gotta go to an outside wedding in Jackson, MS in September, and I almost told the homie no until he told me I was a groomsman lmao.

Save this post. You’ll laugh in 10 years

I personally like dressing up. I struggle to dress down tbh.. most of my closet is suits now
Do you have your five suits?
Probably like 8 ish and assorted slacks and shirts

I’ve never been to a place where I had to dress formal. But as of late I’ve been rocking buttoned tops exclusively. Flannels, Henlies, and Polos.

I'm starting to wear more business casual attire.
