As recently as 20 years ago, wearing suits was quite common

Nowadays only performers such as politicians and public speakers wear suits.

I regret every suit I ever bought. Total waste of money, you wear it a few times, then it just rots in your wardrobe and reminds you of all the muscle you lost over the years

Yeah 40 years maybe more likely.


A suit can strictly aesthetically look good on a good looking guy but nevertheless it makes him look like a phaggot

I had to wear a suit for work the first few years out of college, 1995-1998, and then it went business casual.

I agree that is the present reality. it means average men 50 years ago enjoyed higher status than today.

If this trend continues, in 20 years you will be considered a bigot it not wearing a tracksuit made from 100% recycled trash

I got a signing bonus out of college and they told us to buy suits with it. Conservative company, not going business casual... 3 weeks after I bought my suits they announced they were going business casual...

these days I wear a suit when I present to investors, weddings and funerals

Boomers often tell stories lamenting how they had to wear suits for job x,y,or z back in the day. But you just know they are humble bragging and sad that nowadays they look like a shmuck

Even 10 years ago. My first office job we had to wear a suit and tie every day. I actually had to teach myself how to tie a tie on YouTube before I started and I was only making $12/hr lmao. About halfway through my time there, the company relaxed their dress code to “smart casual” and every job I’ve had since has been similar. Nobody cares anymore.

Personally I’m happy about it because nothing felt more cucked than tying that shit around my neck. It felt like a leash or a noose.

I work from home my dude, I wear basketball shorts and a tshirt to work every day. I put on a collared shirt if I have an important meeting. I wouldn't trade that for a suit.

I remember the days when it was shameful to be seen NOT wearing a tailored Valentino suit.

Suits were for mostly office workers and church. Incels have this ridiculous idea that guys just casually worse suits back in the day. FFS, watch ANY movie that took place in the 50s or 60s. Factory workers wore t-shirts. Hell, Dennis Leary's character mostly wore business casual, except in the scene where he was going on a business trip.
