Men turn to formal wear when they want a new job or when they think their current one is in danger. They try to present themselves as powerful and successful.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There has been a change in men's attitudes toward their clothes. Men are more aware of fashion; they're not afraid of it.
I think men look best when they're dressed in something that makes them feel comfortable.
There was a time when formal clothes were one of life's great pleasures, as well as a way of describing instantly a man's status wealth. Toffs wore the most, the proles the least. Fast forward to 2008 and clothes are still an unrivalled pleasure but some men - and this includes many of our betters - have confused status with fake informality.
Men's fashion has a certain heaviness in the fabrics and construction. But also there is a heaviness in the mentality.
When a man's suit fits, when the construction is beautiful, when the sewing and fabrics are there... in the end, you'll look the best in it.
I am going to get political on you. Because I am the most shallow person in the world, my mission is to see men's formal wear change a little bit. It is too rigid! Everybody looks like a penguin!
In general, fashion is decorative, it's protective, it acknowledges that the world does involve conflict, and you might be attacked by assumptions, presumptions, and attitudes.
The customs and fashions of men change like leaves on the bough, some of which go and others come.
Men with style are great because they have a sense of self.
Even in early adulthood, men can't be told what to wear; they can only be subtly moved by example, encouragement, and a generally sophisticated atmosphere.
