why is it that no body wears a suit any more? all my friends think its old out of style or ugly.... how autistic does one have to be to think this looks out of style or like trash. this man down here looks like he demands respect and gets it, not to mention all that pussy too. too me its a sign of masculinity, power and maturity. i just wish more people cared how the fuck they look more often... maybe there would be less single people

"Nobody" wears them anymore because they don't need to. Back in the day it was expected of you that you wore a suit unless you did some sort of manual labour. Back then you stood out if you didn't wear a suit, nowadays you stand out if you do.

No, back in the day a lounge suit was literally the most casual, informal clothing you could wear. I don't think suits started to be seen as formal, "businesswear", by burgers until the 1970s.

It's planned obsolescence applied to clothing. Think about it: the use of planned obsolescence in appliances closely mirrors how casual daily dress became.
They don't want poorfags to buy one suit and wear it for 20 years.
It's more profitable and safer for business to get poorfags to buy a t-shirt every month.
Suits are difficult to make so cheap that you don't mind if they fall apart in six months while actually still being something you would buy.

Did you stop buying clothes, for years, though? I doubt it. I bet you make small clothing purchases on a monthly or weekly basis. That makes you a more reliable revenue stream than if you bought one big expensive set once and then didn't have to buy anything else for many years.

It used to be that something like a fridge or a dishwasher was built to last. A lot of stuff engineered in that era is STILL working today and still rivals new shit.
But you get a dishwasher today and it's engineered to break down just after the warranty runs out.
Because if everyone buys one expensive dishwasher and they are set for life: the guy making them still goes broke after that.

>> No.13788859

suits are impractical and dress shoes are uncomfortable or at least not near the comfort level of sneakers, that's partly why most people don't wear them casually anymore unless it's necessary if you still wear suits casually, you'll look out of place in most everyday situations like these two douches i met a few days ago while grocery shopping and if it wasn't enough, one of them was wearing sunglasses indoors kek

Pretty sure the prominent success of tech companies has everyone moving towards that kind of corporate culture in some way or another, and that includes their lax dress code.

Never heard anyone say that suits aren't fashionable anymore, just that they're not comfy (and everyone wants to be coddled in sweatpants and flip flops all day for some reason). Girls are still generally attracted to guys wearing well fitted suits.

Not really. Women are attracted to successful men and a suit can reflect that, given the right context and, well, rest of the man. But if the specific criteria are not met, then a suit just signals that you are "boring" and do not know how to "market yourself". This generation, thanks to the rise of neoliberalism, is all about marketing itself like a product, don't forget.

And just how our culture industry is degenerating into a sorry state of only rehashing what has been there before, fashion is too.

I work in IT and can confirm this. I like to wear causal suit or at least suit jacket and trousers when I go out. Why? Because it looks elegant, you can wear good perfume with it, wear nice shoes. You have to practice this kind of outfit to find balance in cost/fit/materials for your body sizes. I would recommend to buy clothes that gravitate your wardrobe towards suit appearance, you won't lose with it unless you are lil' rapper or something, it will definitely make your shopping quicker and easier.

A good example and famous case are tights, companies spent a lot of money on researching tights that would break more.
