I really like the top green suit and hat.
That’s very nice.

That’s very nice.

Me, too, but the bottom picture with the contrasting hat and shoes really sets off the mans outfit, and of course the umbrella adds such a finishing and elegant touch.

I like the contrasting shoes but don’t care too much for the lined pattern throughout or the cuff at the bottom. The umbrella is nice though.

I've always liked the addition of a cuff on men's dress pants, because to me it adds a little something extra, but according to a European tailor we know, the cuff on a man's dress slacks should not exceed 3/4" - 1", and pants should have a break, at least to me dress slacks look nicer with a break.

All of my husbands dress slacks have cuffed bottoms falling into the 3/4" - 1" guideline (with a break).

IMO the pants fashioned in the video are all way too short length wise.

Keesha, are you or were you familiar with the term "turn-ups"?

Until I watched the video I never heard of the term.

 

[Keesha]

For the most part, I’m not a fan of cuffs. The only time I like them is on longer pants with the plead in them. They look nice with suspenders or a vest. If I see a picture of what I mean, I’ll add it.

Not really. It’s interesting though.

A hero of mine, seen here without the lady who once famously said:
"Fred may be a good dancer, but everything that he does I do too. Backwards, in heels."

Who?

I've always thought men look appealing in suits.

Well, ya he does..!!!
He'd probably look good in anything.

 

[dobielvr]

Not all men in suits look like that.

My mother could never understand why I wasn't attracted to guys in suits.......well, they never looked like that!

 

[RadishRose]

It looks like a woman...

 

[RadishRose]

I'll be darned, it's just who I thought it was!

This suit is a replica of the suit that my father was given after he was demobilised at the end of WW2

A zoot suit, note the length of the jacket, so loved by Chicago youths of the late thirties.

A favourite three piece suit, completely overshadowed by the lady and Hercules.

The year before the pandemic we went to an Hawaiian themed wedding. For the ceremony I wore this linen suit, later the collar & tie gave way for a traditional Aloha shirt.

Typical 1940's style three piece suit. I have a few more in my wardrobe, but only one modern, dark, sober looking suit. I keep it for funerals.

I've been noticing a kind of Humphrey Bogart look to you...your grin/smile perhaps. Looks good on you!

you'd be very surprised as to who this is:

Of course she'd fit into a suit like that, she's like 6 ft tall.

Sigourney Weaver!


When she wore the suit several young women followed her around thinking she was a guy. There was one particular gal who was so entranced that she continually followed until Sigourney screamed "I'm a girl!" before she finally went away.

I guessed it was early on.
