Stereotypes - Topic of the day 7/30/24

Previous boss hit me with the "oh it's because you're from New England" (half-true) when we got into a conversation about why I dress "nice." This was pre-mfad for me, and I was mostly wearing J. Crew-lite fits with lots of oxfords and cardigans. So that's the most directly I've been stereotyped, besides being called gay in high school (which in hindsight was more of a compliment than I realized)

Besides the jacket sleeves being too long, looking for thoughts on the rest of this outfit.

Also worth noting off rip that you should only button the top button of 2-button jackets

If you’re able to just prop a phone up waist-high or so and set it on a timer that usually is the best way

It usually helps folks tell how the suit fits if you can take a photo that lets us see what’s in that drawing ^

Navigating Dress Codes - Topic of the day 7/14/24

I've been to a few big-city (Seattle, Boston, NY) symphony performances and it's definitely very lax. People still will go in a tux or a suit, but there are also plenty of people there in jeans and a t-shirt.

Having Trouble at the Tailor

All that said, maybe you'd be able to ask for "stretch" or "technical" wool? I don't know what your tailor has access to. In any case, I think it's better to just have a suit tailored properly in a natural fiber like wool, but if you're after a stretchy techy suit, by all means seek that out. Not sure what you'd call it beyond stretch or technical wool.

Having Trouble at the Tailor

To be honest, you shouldn't need the material to "stretch" unless you want something skintight – which isn't a good look for a suit in my opinion. A well-fitting suit should drape well and let you move your body comfortably rather than feel restricting. It's possible to accomplish that with 100% wool, whether you prefer worsted, tropical, tweed, etc. I also wouldn't call the right side of those images "flowly" really. There's very prominent pulling and a strong "x" at the buttoning point of the jacket – suggesting it's at least a size (or two) too small.

white loafers with summer wear

I think white loafers can look great but I just don't have the swag to pull it off. It probably would work best if your pants aren't an identical shade to the loafers. Like slightly beige or cream or ecru pants with white loafers might be better.
