Dblock Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 *Random content* I don't get to wear a suit very often. Its usually a special occasion when I do. I do like wearing one though I feel like a real business man or high flyer. A good suit makes a man look sharp and sophisticated . A good suit can make a fat man look thinner or a skinny man wider. People treat you differently when wearing a nice suit. They speak to you differently, treat you like your important. Which is good. I'm sure the whole point of a suit is to make you look smart and presentable so if your doing a deal you look professional, suave and like a go getter. So why do people wear grey suits? When I look at someone wearing a grey suit I think loser, meaningless person and that they have given up not only on their job but their life. A grey suit is horrible. It impress no one. It makes you look scruffy. It makes you look unimportant. It shows you dont care and your not going anywhere. It shows your most likely bad at your job and you think your more important than you are. Any suit I mean ANY suit looks better in jet black or blue or anything darker than grey. I really hate them grey shiney material suits too If I did wear a suit everyday for work I'd have nice suits. I went with my friend to buy a suit once. Burtons where only £30 cheaper than Slaters. Slaters suits are awesome and customer service is spot on aswell, They can even taylor it for you. My dad says Italy is great for suits as its fairly cheap for the quality of work and your getting a custom fitted suit. You see some people with horrible fitting suits and they say I hate wearing this its so uncomfortable but a well cut suit is quite nice to wear. So does anyone agree or disagree? Yes random I know.

Vik54 Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 Shiney grey definately a no-no. However charcoal is another matter Quote
bronzee Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 It has more to do with the cut of the suit, the fabric than the colour. I've seen many stunning suits in shades of grey. Anything well cut, say, Ermenegildo Zegna suit or the like. Superb. But you are talking a reasonable wad of dosh for one. Quote
cmck13 Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 Grey suits remind me of John Major..... Just the word grey reminds me of John Major and then I see a picture in my mind of Edwina Curry, what a nightmare on Downing Street!! Quote
Sarnie Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 I have a few grey suits and I love them to be fair. I do however feel that they are slightly less formal so I wear mine to seminar's and conferences etc where it's business dress but you don't need to look ultra professional. Quote
LRF4N Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 Blue suits look better than grey? What u been smoking? blue suits are 1990s I think they look tacky Grey can look very classy and modern. I wore a grey suit on my wedding with a gold cravat and waistcoat. I didn't see anyone with a black or blue suit out dressing me Quote
Stew Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 I have a charcoal suit. Nothing else grey. I always get mine tailored, ok I'm fat but it DOES make all the difference. Quote

That John major comment is spot on. Some people wear grey pinstripe suits Who has to wear a suit for work? Quote
Neilp Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 I have a couple of suits, Just recently bought a charcoal 3 piece and really like. Different people look better in different colours. Personally my favourite wear is a dark black pinstripe Armani suit. Any suit bought has to be tailored to me due to my bizarre body shape Quote
evilscorp Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 Shiney grey definately a no-no. However charcoal is another matter Im wearing a charcoal suit right now at a wedding. Quote

smudgedon Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 Depends what type of grey I can't stand black suits and most of mine are a dark grey/charcoal colour Light grey looks very old fashioned "Wet suits" (the shiney ones) just make me laugh Quote
manphibian Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 I wear charcoal. I think everybody needs to put a pic up of them in their suits I'm not going first though Quote

I have a grey suit with a shadow pinstripe which is my fab at the moment. Quote
LRF4N Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 Blue is back in? it's all down to personal taste- il never like blue suits no matter how fashionable they are. Dak grey- but still grey- is much neater Quote

Sacrilege - you're at a wedding you should have a kilt on I normaly do but I bought new suit so thought i wuld try it out (gf friends wedding,saves on hire/desiding Quote
rtbiscuit Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 i only own 1 suit and its for weddings funerals interviews etc. its my favourite so far that i've ever owned. its a charcoal grey ted baker suit with an awesome purple lining. and the cut on it; is as if it was tailor made for me. my last suit my wife picked for me and it was a blacky brown colour, she said and many others did that it suited me, but i hated it. never felt comfortable in it. if i was to have another suit i would have a black suit just for funerals as i do wish when i was at them that i had something more somber for the occasion. as for me in a suit i'm feeling brave some are my own others are morning wear for weddings. My new favourite suit brothers wedding, morning dress horrible brown suit My wedding morning dress so i've been brave who else is feeling daring Quote
Dblock Posted July 1, 2012 Author Posted July 1, 2012 ok f*ck it, Peter Werth charcoal suit WOW where do I start. But seriously if your going to wear a suit SHAVE!!!!!! Also dont do both buttons up unless your a geek. Only do the top one up . Quote
Builder49 Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 Moss Bros hire suit....... (4 weeks ago, £99 to hire) Poxy tie/cravat thing was a nightmare to tie up on my own! The two suits I own are both Black, not sure I'd actually fit then though as I'm now only a 32" waist and the suits were 34". Am I correct in thinking though that certain styles and cuts of suit should always be reasonably in fashion? As a builder there isn't much general call for a suit so I've always paid a bit more for a better quality one!!! Quote
