Do you have to be old to look good in a suit? Young guys in suits always look like massive gaylords.

It's really not that simple. The major issue you'll run into is appropriateness.

Or to put it bluntly, a good suit versus a bad suit are very obvious.
>Fits around the chest, for some reason men always buy too long pants that drag under their goddamn shoes, shoulders that are too big or small, etc.
>Glued pieces of garbage that look stiff and unpleasant; thick doorman outfits.
>Fabric weirdness - having a felt tier suit, or a super fine meme thread count suit

I can go on, but even if you have a very well fitted, well made suit, it will still look bad if it is not appropriate. In the US, there are very few occasions that call for business formal, or dress formal even. So, wearing a suit when you A. Don't work in a suit. B. Don't have an occasion for wearing a suit is inherently bad looking. It's akin to wearing sneakers to a wedding, or a parka in summer, etc.

Young guys in suits look good when the suit is good when the situation makes sense. E.g., wearing a suit to a wedding, or a to a work that needs a suit.

>> No.14949165

Generally speaking, there is two rules:

a) be handsome (i.e. good facial bone structure, hairline, beard growth, etc.)
b) be in shape (so your shoulders will fill out that jacket nicely)

And most guys don't get their suit fitted, so, no wonder it looks like shit

>> No.14949185

>>14949165
Not really, no. Even if you are handsome, if you are not appropriate to the location it's weird.

>BUT WHAT IF YOU'RE REALLY HANDSOME?
Then someone equally handsome will look at you weird.

>What if you're really rich and handsome and want to wear a suit all day?
It's in bad taste.

>> No.14949189

The people saying you can't wear a suit are just as douchey as the people in the past that would judge a person for not wearing a suit to the office. If you want to wear a suit wear one. This is a good article about casual suits:

You wont though. Most off the rack clothing just fits, but it doesn't fit great. If you had some casual item tailor fit you'd see the difference. Some suits are fine off the rack but as they are formal they should have that fit, being the right arm length, shoulder length, chest size and so on. That's why most off the rack wont do it.

Really people should learn basic tailoring, that's what I did. You will be able to take jackets in and do slight size alternations and it's pretty simple.

I also loved how the suits and clothes evolved with the years. On most show it would feel kinda forced and inaccurate but because these are ads people, you basically expect them to dress in perfect accordance to the year's fashion trends and whatnot.

Except for Don who is stuck in the early 60's

Suits are about the tailoring to fit. Even an off the shelf suit can look good once it gets touched up to the person that is going to wear it. A lot of young guys just don't know and think it will look good off the rack.

Suits are high maintenance compared to casual wear. Dry cleaning bills add up after a while.
