      We just may see the death of the business suit in our lifetime. Religion is losing importance in the average person’s life, so they won’t be dressing g up and going to church. And covid made people realize computer-based salaried jobs can be teleworked, so people won’t have to dress up for work.
      For the most part, any traditionally formal event hosted by young people has a relaxed dress code, so even special occasions aren’t as formal as they were.

      I agree with this anon. The only time I see suits is on celebrities or people who teach you ‘how to be alpha’ on YouTube

    Literally UK professional Rugby player wearing Canterbury rugby joggers and looking dressy in white button short and necktie. Probably post-match and context counts for choice of ex. pics.

      Thats a handsome guy. Too bad most men who wear this fit are never masculine, ever. It’s becoming a signal to me that you work at meaningless job unless of course you were to tell me what you really do. Most times i see people in business attire I think of my international fortune 100 company and how many suite jobs we give out that are totally worthless. I’m just a jaded guy.

    The boomers demanded the option to dress casually in the office, and it unleashed a culture of dressing for comfort rather than first impressions.
    Now, millenials and zoomers enter the work force and dress like shit; not realizing the importance of first impressions.

    1. 90% of people have no access to a tailor. All "formal" clothes come from mass production sweatshops below upper middle class purchasing level
    2. Dignified jobs have left the market and with that dignified dress. Office jobs have realize there’s no good reason to look good being sedentary all day
    3. Clothing companies have been accelerating to cut corners for 50 years. The custom caught on and switched to more affordable items.

      Why don’t people dress formally anymore?

      It really does have to do with the breakdown of the middle class, where even middle class values have bled into the noveau rich upper class (Zuckerberg as prime example) which accompanied generational shifts. The boomers were either hippies or yuppies, then the gen xers rebelled against the office and dresswear, and then millenials idolized the casual fashion. It was a persistent decline of any value for formal wear. Zoomers are following in the millennial’s ethos for the most part, who were themselves following the gen xer’s. As for Gen Alpha? Still yet to be determined, but no real reason to believe they’ll reverse the trend after being inundated with shitty lower class casual fashion ubiquitous everywhere. You wouldn’t be surprised if they grow up not knowing what a suit is.

      which is hecking insanity because putting on a suit is like the lowest hecking effort thing you can do to look like you gave a shit, christ it takes under 2 minutes to get fully dressed; maybe its just cope but a suit was my go-to when i was a fat heck because it takes 0 effort to look good if you have a suit that actually fits

        The average person nukes all their clothes in the drier and won’t wear anything they have to iron. Half the people who wear ties can’t even be bothered to tie it every wear and instead leave it tied. People don’t know how to care for clothes and won’t wear clothes they have to care for. They want cheap and easy. You tell somebody you spent $500 on a half canvas suit and they’ll think you’re Richy Rich. They’re so far gone there’s no reasoning with them. They think you’re at the dry cleaner every week. These mouth breathers wouldn’t hang something to dry if their lives depended on it.

        Well, suits are expensive for something to wear on one occasion in a year or two, they take space, there is some effort required to get a good looking and good fitting one, nost other clothes are more comfortable, and cleaning and ironing, while not some big effort, is still more work than for other clothes.
        All in all, I think the main reason is lack of occasions that would require dressing that formally, as

        Also, I think the style, materials and other qualities have been too similar for too long, I feel like suits look good just because we’re all used to thinking that suits look good. For me, the aesthetics are not worth the hassle, I wish we had more variety, like formal wear from various sci-fi universes.

    Why would they? Suits and formalwear were basically the grown ups good boy school uniform. It was the easiest, most effortless way of looking presentable and provided a mutual base because everybody just looked the same.
    Now people are having more freedom and more choices by the day, so they will individually choose to wear something according to their personality or just to their liking.
    Reality is: suits were the equivalent of the mall-brand business casual look back then and some only use them now because we’ve been doing it for too long already.

    Suits were designed for skinny italien manlets and undernourished british working class. In a time before indoor heating was invented.

    If you weigh over 170lbs then wearing a suit all day is torture. Especially now that everything is ‘skinnyfit’ to cost costs of production.

    I wear a polo shirt to office and I am still sweating my ass off. Because every woman in the building is complaining about it being ‘too cold’ to properly show off their cleavage, so the heating is on way too high.

      This is why you work for old fashioned companies. We keep our shit like an icebox, enforce modest hemlines on skirts and dresses and forbid bare shoulders. It could be 100f and you could wear a three piece suit.

      That and they were designed to emulate military dress uniforms and are mandated in the corporate world (lol like 40 years ago maybe) specifically to break your spirit and force conformity

    Similar social mechanism to the adoption of cars over public transportation per this passage — as more people start dressing down, dressing up starts to make you look like a tryhard, and so a sort of abstract peer pressure incentivizes others to dress down as well; this forms a feedback loop which tends towards a consistent casualization of dress over time. Eventually you get to a point where someone like reviewbrah is the weird one for going out in a leisure suit, as opposed to e.g. 80 years ago when you’d be mighty eccentric to go out in a tshirt and shorts anywhere but the beach

    They never really did, formal wear was always reserved for special occasions. Formal and semiformal are white tie and black tie. Suits are considered informal wear, the suit was a casual alternative to sportswear before it became popular in the early 20th century. Basically things have been becoming more casual for the last few centuries.

    jobs don’t pay people enough to make it worth wearing suits and because of that most people getting into the workforce never got a good looking/feeling suit and prefer streetwear instead
    Suits are dying and will probably not be coming back as the new generation sees it as an oppressive white person thing
    But to be fair I’d rather not wear suits myself as I am in the group of people who never had a good tailored suit
    heck drycleaning I’d rather hecking design my own clothes at this point and the only reason I don’t is because it takes too much hecking time to learn everything from picking out fabrics to sewing it myself

    Too many remote jobs, too many high paying jobs in STEM/trades that almost never require anything more formal than a polo shirt. Really you have to be in a big city taking the safe route to an ivory tower in which case no one who’s a fashion hobbyist is going to ever see/care. Blame streamer gay culture for encouraging everyone to be a lazy shut-in. Culture reveres the most fashionable form of a loser possible and right now that’s thugs and gamers in overpriced race car chairs.
