Not the guy you were answering to, however, I happen to work in publishing (clinical trials, medical journals, etc.) in Italy and, although it's an extremely relaxed working environment and the girls are a tad more casual, everyone at my office dresses like an Ivy professor. Suits, blazers and proper shirts are a common sight and ties seem to be a must among the higher ups (I don't wear them as often, I tend to try to defuse the formality a tad with turtlenecks, foulards, scarves and ascots instead).

This carries over to my social life as well, although elegance is context sensitive so I have to bring the formality even further down when I'm going out with friends - since the vast majority of them will be wearing athleisure/streetwear - mixing in different fabrics (hence the denim trousers) and workwear/americana/gorpcore with the occasional streetwear piece (think of ALD and Drake's lookbooks).

Bottom line is, classic menswear is VERY current, influential and feasible, mileage may vary however depending on your circles/social class and I'm under the impression that a lot of the people posting on here live in the middle of nowhere in the countryside of some flyover state and never leave their house.

You should appreciate that people from different walks of life come here to post, giving you some perspective.

Pic related is likely how (YOU) look on a good day btw.

You probably look like this.

This.

You just know this overcompensating hideous insecure manlet has no business wearing a suit, so when he does he looks like he's either larping or a tryhard and the outfit goes from potentially cool to cringe af.

OP is probably him anyway, he's fully aware of this and it shows.

man, I'm into classic menswear and I own a dozen bespoke/MTM suits but I realize I really don't give a fuck about any of that, who fucking cares about how people were dressed 100 years ago.

It's all about what women perceive as attractive and "high status" anyway, anything else and you're just appealing to faggots and their circlejerk.

why the fuck would you use rayon over linen anyway? The only garments made of rayon in my wardrobe are a bunch of aloha shirts.

Shetland and Harris Tweed are super itchy, that's why they're lined.

Rayon is very comfy desu, same as Lyocell. Try japan sourced HQ rayon sometimes.

Elegance and style are context sensitive.

Showing up in a 3 piece suit and tie at a social gathering where the level of formality is 5 tiers below is akin to screaming "I''m autistic, look at me" on top of your lungs.
