Casual clothes killed most ironing but ain't nobody showing up in a wrinkled suit. permalink fedilink source hideshow 10 child comments replies: [–] coaxil@lemm.ee 47 points 2 years ago (3 children) I don't even own a suit haha permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de 17 points 2 years ago I wish they were more affordable in the US. I love wearing a suit, makes me feel like a mobster. lol Cosplay for the unstable. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 9 points 2 years ago (1 child) Hopefully no weddings or funerals coming up. Then again, if you're American, I've seen people show up to a wedding in shorts and a baseball cap. No ironing required. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] BlitzoTheOisSilent@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago (1 child) The most recent funeral I attended, only the deceased's brother wore a suit, the rest of the family wore basically everyday clothes, as did 99% of the attendants. I left my suit jacket in the car because I felt overdressed. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago (3 children) Was this in the US? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] BlitzoTheOisSilent@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago It was, yes. The deceased wasn't the type that would want anyone to put on their Sunday best just for him, so it made sense. But when I mentioned it to my father, he commented that no one really wears suits to funerals anymore, or even weddings. permalink fedilink source parent [–] boonhet@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Just across (south) of the bay from you judging by your name: I was at a funeral recently, not many people wore suits. Of course, nobody wore shorts or anything, but not too many formal suits. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 1 point 2 years ago Here black suit is usually the way to go permalink fedilink source parent [–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago That's how we did my grandfather's memorial. Grandma didn't want it to feel formal and we weren't about to force that. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago I didn't for a long time either. Then I needed one. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago (3 children) Casual clothes killed most ironing but ain't nobody showing up in a wrinkled suit. Unless you're upper management or going to a wedding/funeral/formal event, why would you even wear a suit? In the last decade I've worn my suit 3 or 4 times in the last decade, and they were all weddings or funerals. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [+] Abnorc@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 1 year ago) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago Yeah I should have put an edit in. I didn't know this was going to blow up like this. I don't wear a suit or formal clothes more than about once a year, for the events of friends and families. I'm not trying to say it's an every day thing. permalink fedilink source parent [–] nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Give it a try. Hit up a thrift store and get some great tacky suits from the 70s and 80s, if you can find em. It's a bit of fun to wear them when it's not necessary or expected. I probably wouldn't wear a really nice wedding/funeral suit in such cases because I spill fucking everything and would become destitute from the dry cleaning bills. Now, if it were a social expectation/requirement, it would suck and not be fun. But, as a choice that one can make, it's great sometimes. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) I have a tailored suit in my closet, but there's no way in fuck I'm showing up to work in that suit or any other suit. For one, I work from home and I want to actually be comfortable. For two, if I was going into the office, I would ruin it at some point crawling under desks and behind racks and shit. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org 1 point 2 years ago Absolutely there with you. Hence my suggestion of thrift store. And for wearing one to the office? I also work from home so, would only likely do so to confuse my wife. permalink fedilink source parent [–] OldWoodFrame@lemm.ee 14 points 2 years ago (1 child) How often do you wear a suit?
