Why don't people wear suits all the time anymore?

Also, that shit is expensive.

No. I got one from Asda for £30 for my prom.

I wear that shit whenever I can. If it wasn't so muddy and rainy where I live I'd wear it whenever I go out.

I think that there are two reasons as someone would wear a suit; they are working, or are somewhere or doing something special. Not all kinds of jobs have that kind of dress code, and not all occasions warrant a suit. The "smart casual" came around based on the idea of being slightly formal, but not too much to add a balance between the comfort and the elegance, professionalism a suit can give.

Because I wear one everyday now.

So how did you feel when they turned you into a rooster?

They? I turned myself into one. I needed a chicken to sell her soul and it worked.

I think he meant a GOOD suit

What? It looks exactly the same as any other. Just not custom made or have some kind of brand adds to jutify more money.

Because that's honestly gay as hell. Suits are for special occasions. Wearing them constantly would strip them of their importance.

They used to be worn all the time, hence the thread you apparently aren't capable of reading. That being the case, your argument holds little weight. A shift in fashion isn't a sufficient answer and why fashion has shifted. Try again.

Yeah they, they came to your office turned you into a chicken/rooster and worst of all they made you not do any of your paper work!

Who's the fool that told you this?

That was supposed to be behind closed doors.

Appearance was more important to people back then. It was also a more conservative time, and suits are about a conservative as you can possibly get.

You're the first person to give me an answer that isn't completely stupid. I thank you. It would be nice if people had that same mentality of looking the best you possibly can in regards to classy fashion.

Eugh.

Because "looking the best you possibly can" these days is the form of some maroon or tan yellow chinos with converses, whilst having a funny designed white t-shirt with a picture of a place you've never been to on the front.

I've honestly no idea. I suggest that with the invention of the teenager in the 50's, kids didn't want to grow up just to turn into their parents. Seeing as 50's parents commonly wore dresses, suits and a hat, it was "uncool" to dress like them, and so a counter-culture was developed (using teenage role models as the inspiration for fashion, e.g. Elvis) which started off alright IMO, and has since degraded to today's standard fashion.

Eurgh.

They're uncomfortable, don't allow for the same amount of movement, and are best used for the proper occasion and place.
