accies1874 Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 I don't mind wearing smart trousers but a full suit isn't for me. My posture is fucked which makes my tie sit in a weird position and often untucks my shirt at the back. Tbh if I could wear jammy bottoms, a shite t-shirt and my dressing gown everywhere then I'd be happy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Surely you dress to the standard of where you are going and what you are doing?Someone tipping up at TGIs dressed to the nines would look ridiculous 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll bet the folk casting doubts about how other men dress cut about like they're going for a round of golf every single day. Smart polo shirt (tucked in) and some chinos/trousers. NAP. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Tourette Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Surely you dress to the standard of where you are going and what you are doing?Absolutely agree with this, although I once met a French guy half way up one of the Cuillins in October who was wearing shorts, t-shirt and tennis shoes and holding a women’s umbrella as it had started raining 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Thought I used to look a bit like James Bond in a suit, now I look more like David Brent. Only wear one for funerals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 I'm assuming any young lad and beautiful young woman dining in TGI Fridays are about 16/17? In which case wear what you want. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bob Mahelp Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 The very first job I had, I had to wear a suit and tie. At first I hated it, but after a few months I really liked it. Fortunately I've always been good looking, slim and modest, so I quickly realised that a suit and tie was bit of a pull. That's how I met the missus. She loved the suit and was devastated when I turned up for oor first date in jeans and ski jacket (it was January). Then I worked abroad where the dress code was much more casual, and I bounced between smart/casual and jeans and trainers depending on the day. I still miss wearing a suit though. In fact, when I remember back, I used to have 2 suits for work, and a going out suit for the weekend. LOL. Sounds like Victorian dad, but as someone pointed out there was a time when you couldn't get into a club or even a city centre boozer dressed in jeans and trainers. How time moves on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanius Mullarkey Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Pre-lockdown I was a smart breeks, shirt and tie to work kind of a guy. Now I come in to the office wearing what the f**k I want and nobody gives a shit. Not that they gave a shit anyway but is quite liberating. I doubt I'll ever wear a tie again in my life. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoa, they let you in to clubs with trainers on now? That was the only reason I switched to leather shoes in the first place! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 After my grandstanding on this thread I realised not long ago that I’ve been wearing trainers splattered with vomit all day. Karma no doubt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shotgun Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 2 hours ago, The Moonster said: The Dude had it right. Apparently, most of the clothes Mr. Bridges wore in the film were his own; including the jelly sandals. Not a look I could pull off but both The Dude and Jeff Bridges are cool as. And I also hate the fuckin' Eagles, man. I wore a suit and tie for work every day through the 80's and always resented having to change into different dress clothes for a night out at some crappy, small town nightclub. One of the pubs, after an unnecessary and disappointing refurbishment jacked up their prices and put a bouncer on the door. They expected you to wear a tie to get into a plastic poseurs' palace of a pub. That lasted about a month until they noticed hardly anyone was going in. These days, I rarely have occasion to dress up. Jobby catchers and a t-shirt/sweatshirt when slobbing at home or walking the dog, smart-ish jeans and a collared shirt when I go out, dress trousers and a jacket if it's real fancy but on those occasions, I'm usually over-dressed to the point where people comment. Too bad because when I wear my (one) suit, I look razor sharp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
