Looks like someone skipped Suits 101

This is why I don't suit suits.

[Helgoland]

Not really.

I didn't notice at first, but I kinda agree - which is a shame, because suits apparently look good on you, Baug.

I'm jealous of your hair, Spessh. Mine just generally looks fairly shitty and I don't really know what to do with it. vOv

[Spehss _]

I don't really know what to do with mine either. Don't like styling or gel or anything, don't like shorter hair. It just sorta does its own thing. Wash it once every one or two days with anti-dandruff shampoo, dry it with a hairdryer, done. When I was younger I had a haircut pretty much just like yours though.

I've been considering trying to grow white guy dreads sometime. No idea how that would look. Or how my hair might handle it. Or how I'd care for said hairstyle. Would be funny to try though.

Nice suit brah.

Not really. Unbutton the lowest button, shorten trousers, put on a lightly coloured shirt.

I will never do any of those things. They are all madness. Except the trousers thing, yes. It's hard to find ones that fit me around these parts. But why even have buttons if they aren't going to be buttoned? And if I'm forced to wear a tie in the first place, I'm going to keep it from being glaring and obnoxious, so dark shirt with dark tie (or, if I'm wearing a light suit and light tie for some reason, then a light shirt I guess).

You can't have three buttons buttoned D:

That's like wearing your pants inside-out.

Nobody's telling you to go out and buy a MLP tie. White shirt, wine-red tie? Or a beige one, if you must. Or you could just not wear a tie and go open collar - but get a white shirt. Black looks like wannabe tough guy, at least to me. Not on you in particular, but generally.
(Might have to do with the fact that wannabe tough guys appear to often go for black shirts )

The last button thing is a necessity though - buttoning a suit all the way makes one look like a sausage. The fabric needs some room, yo!
Plus I believe your undies are sticking out, or what's that white bit above your crotch?

You can always go for a dark tie on a white or a light blue shirt - the look is widely recognised as a classic. As for the pants - have them tailored, it's quick and cheap.

Red shirt, black tie.

Is he Russian? Because otherwise that's a rather weird sentiment...

Man, the only time I'm wearing a suit will be my funeral (which I'm certain I will get despite requesting to not have one.) Even then, I won't put it on voluntarily.

Any tie that contrasts the shirt (or shirt which contrasts the coat) enough to serve as an eyecatching arrow directly toward my crotch is one too obnoxious. And, in retrospect, I don't think I can pull off a white suit. So I'll be sticking with the black shirts, advice be damned. I know what I prefer >________>

You may be right about the sausage thing, though. Could use a coat that fits less tightly, or a gut less wide - I maintain that if the third button were not meant to be buttoned, it would not be on the coat.

As for the white bit, an inconvenient reflection off a belt buckle. My undies that day were also black

EDIT: I do appreciate the helpful advice, however, even if I am ignoring the bulk of it due to being an asshole.

Meh, I wouldn't let douchebags ruin clothes for me myself. Not particularly a fan of black shirts, but they look nice if you color-invert - i.e. black shirt, white vest, white dress pants. Or black shirt, red tie, black suit. I like black, red and white in all combinations, really. Nice contrast/accent pairings. Black on dark blue on black makes you look like you're trying to hide in the shadows like a particularly classy ninja.

The third button is there for a) decorative purposes, because it simply looks different with two, and b) because if there were only two, people would leave the lower one open, going against the entire point.

Man, the whole discussion reminds me how I wish I had a proper, nice suit instead of that sleeved plastic bag that dares to call itself one. But monies ;_;

E: The entire point of a tie is to provide a bit of interest. Otherwise, you could pull a Foucault and wear a turtleneck under a suit jacket and call it a day. 's nice too.
