Post subject:  Suit Up!
Hey man,

I know it's stolen from Barney Stinson(Neil Patrick Harris) off How I Met Your Mother, but honestly I think it is a good call. You get a lot of positive attention from people, and I honestly get girls to send overtures and other signals more often. I got tons of compliments from men and women. Getting a ton of compliments obviously elevates your confidence immensely. Often times you may feel over dressed but honestly how is looking better then everyone else a bad thing?

Has anyone else went out in a suit? I noticed a few weeks back after attending a formal party then heading to the bar to meet some friends that I got a lot of positive attention for the suit. So last night it being New Years I knew I could get away with it easily. Especially with the outfits women wear these days(they almost always out dress men), I got so much love from people that I think it is a good call.

It's too formal to go out to a club. Even wearing a tie and shirt it pushing it. You don't want to come off as trying to hard. That's just the gimmick of Barney's character on the show. Not saying suits look bad, they don't. But wearing a different suit everyday is beyond impractical. Unless you need to for your job.

It actually depends on where your going out and your geographic location. For example in my city lots of guys dress up when going to the few bigger clubs which would also be related to there being alot of people with italian /greek backgrounds its just how they dress. But in another city near me sometimes dressing up in a suit/ shirt will actually not get you into the club as its overdressed and dressing like a rat is popular. Culture plays a big part on how people dress.

I've even heard in New Zealand that the Maoris are the only ones that wear singlets. Not sure why think its because everyone else feels too white compared to them.

If you are older than 25, you should be doing this anyway, and not just to impress women.

I don't wear a suit. I usually wear a blazer + t-shirt, nice shirt or if it's a more classier place a open shirt, blazer and jeans.

I'm 20 though.

Guess I been under dressing for a minute then. I haven't really got into the suit concept until recently, when I was young I use to always wear dress clothes but then I reverted back to my hip hop style.


Obviously where you goes defines a lot about how you dress. If you go to a concert(depending on the show) it is likely not a good idea to sport a suit, but if you are going to the bar or even a lot of clubs(even if you over dress the club a little) why not dress up in a suit? I'm just saying try it out and let me know how it goes. I like it, gives you a feeling of confidence, and people want to know why you are in a suit, a conversation piece of it's own.

Why because it be proper age wise? I am above 25 and 90% of the time I wear t-shirt and shorts outside of work.

I think that theres nothing wrong with wearing a suit, I think that every man that thinks of himself in high-regard should at least own 1 suit. I personally used to hate wearing suits when I was younger because my mom would make me wear them for Easter (ughh) but she would also tell me that a women loves a man that knows how to dress and you know what moms was right (once again :( ). Sometimes situation's calls for you to be overdressed to show that you do have what it takes to be leader of the crowds. Dressing up def boost your confidence but you have to have the skills to match your style.

Think of it as a continuation of the lessons in nonverbal communication the community already teaches.

In addition to conveying respect for those whose company he keeps, the way a man dresses tells us a great deal about who he is, how he sees himself and what he intends to do.

A kid in a graphic tee and ripped up jeans looks like a care-free youngster who probably isn't self-aware enough to consider how he looks and would rather get drunk than go to work.

A man in a perfectly-fitting suit with french cuffs, a well-coordinated tie and pocket square, and expensive shoes looks like he knows exactly what he wants and isn't afraid to pursue it. He's not going to work because he's busy taking the company over.

See what I mean?

I'd rather dress my hip hop style and be the individual I am today, then someone who just wears a suit. The shirts I wear, the culture of my style is important to me, and it is a part what me makes me.

I like suits, the positive attention, I love dressing nice. However, I don't think you can wear suits all the time, I mean honestly who among us has 7 or 8 suits(plus a wide selection of shirts and ties). Then add the dry cleaning bill for all that. That is one expensive ass habit. Even if I could afford it I don't know if it would feel worth it. It would take away some of the individuality I love about myself. My hats, shirts, necklace, they all help convey my originality as a human.

Although the love you get for suits is awesome, you can't hit it off with that oh wow did you go to that bla bla show recently? Instant rapport when you both like a band and went to a concert or have something they like on your shirt. I love that I represent who I am with every piece of apparel and accessory from my favorite color to music to my ethnic background.

I believe can prove I am a powerful person and I know what I want with my personality, my body language, and me. I don't feel the need to allow my dress appearance to do that. I do agree that my appearance may disqualify me from some girls. I have to ask honestly do I want to talk to some girl that doesn't like my originality? My style is helping screen girls for me. It's like wearing a leather belt to avoid finding vegetarians/vegans.

I agree you can have a very high success rate with suits, but it won't always be with girls I would like to keep around and that is one of my problems with it. My worth should never and will never be based on what I wear or what I look like. Suits are great and you should wear far suits more often then never, but I don't think all the time or where ever you go, that is a bit much.

Maybe I'm off the mark but can you elaborate more?

I get what your saying and I agree with you on the nonverbal communication but this doesn't mean one needs to wear a suit. I am not saying one shouldn't care how they look as they should to a degree, the t-shirts I wear are fitted ones and not loose or baggy. But more wear clothes that reflect who you are as a person. If you are a more dressy and/or formal person wear a suit but if you are more laid back person like me then go casual. Does wearing t-shirt and shorts hurt me when it comes to girls? Maybe. But I always thought clothing is a relfection of who you are as a person among other things.

Suits are awesome. I have been adding dressier clothes to my everyday wardrobe. I even go to movies wearing a dress shirt and tie, even though no one can see me. I just feel better wearing suits and suit-related items.

I've been out once wearing a suit. The amount of attention from girls was unbelieveable, but i was in relationship back then. I could try it some day again, see what happens.

Isn't this what it is all about? No matter what you were. Just as long as you feel confident in your self. Suits make women look more? Take mysterys hat and you'll get the same result ;) We all game differently...

I've been out closing in all kind of ways both in- and without a suit. But for ME, I much rather just keep the suits in the wardrob for weddings/funerals :P
