If it was a required part of my life (job, etc) I would not have a problem doing it because it would just become a routine thing and I'd be able toa fford it (assuming suit and ties job = $$).
Otherwise, it's just a friggin pain sometimes because I, personally do not have much to dress up with and if I do, it's usually the same thing and I don't like it but I dont have the $$ to purchase additional "dressy" items. My 'dressy" items are basically tailored so it costs money (I'm a big guy, can't find anything that fits.. esp my neck) I do agree with you that women like to dress up, sometimes just to do it because they can.. I don't get it but that's the thing there.. They don't get why we like guns and tools. We don't get it why they like shoes and accessories. |

Nope and I do not understand those that hate it. If you have properly fitting dress clothes they are not uncomfortable...which is the biggest complaint I hear from those that hate dress clothes.
The rest are from the "I ain't gonna wear no fuckin clothes to make me whos I am! Why is I gotta spend beer money on clothes and fake me being someone I ain't" crowd. If you think dressing nicely is simply some bullshit fake thing people do to establish their identity, chances are that you think your torn jeans and stained T-shirt establish your identity too.

I don't mind at all. But I don't even own a suit or a tie, I need them so seldom that it makes more sense to just rent them.

I really enjoy it. I doubly enjoy it if I'm dressed to the 9s with a woman on my arm who is as well. Coming up with an excuse to get dressed up is pie guarantee as well.
Course i pear a polo shirt & work pants to work every day so I don't get tired of it like I might if I had to suit up every day. |

I don't have to dress up for work.
I don't like getting dressed up at all. In fact, I don't even own a suit or tie anymore... About as dressed up as I get is Dockers, a polo shirt, and a pair of penny loafers. |

About what I was gonna say. Most of my bad experiences from dressing up were from when I was a kid and we'd do something that required it once every year or two. Since I was growing fast and wore those clothes rarely, they almost never fit right and would get uncomfortable spending a day in them. Now I'm not really growing any more, and I have dress clothes that fit, so I don't mind. IMHO, it's also about self-confidence. If yours is good, you can be comfortable in any type of clothes and any situation. If it isn't, you may find yourself getting uncomfortable easily anytime you're outside your element - your usual type of clothes, people you're usually around, etc. Also, I heartily approve of women dressing up.  |

Not all women like dressing up. If it doesn't match with my crocs, I'm not wearing it.

Its alright with me. Its only bothersome when other people don't dress to the same level. I'm not the kind that wants to be the best dressed in the room. Although it was pretty fun to dress nice at work. I once got the comment that I "dress better than the rest of us" from a co-worker.

I wear scrubs all the time at work. When I'm at home, jeans or casual stuff. So when I actually get the chance to put on dress clothes, I dig it. Maybe if I had an office job and wore a tie M-F I would be tired of it. |

I work in a law office so most of the time it is skirts and dresses for me, especially during spring and summer. I enjoy dressing nice and looking good. I also enjoy being down at the court house in the mornings.
Most of the time I prefer a guy with a dress style that is comparable to mine. |

I don't do the suit and tie thing often but I often for church and the like dress in a nice shirt and dress pants.
Also I like to get undressed out of said suit and tie as soon as I get home or whatever. |

Depends on the occasion.
There's a certain comfort in the feel of a well-tailored suit. But most of the discomfort arises from the fact that, most of the time, we're compelled by someone else (almost always a woman - Wife/GF/Mother) to appear at event we didn't want to go in the first place all dressed up (hence the discomfort at weddings or expensive cocktail parties). |

I do it so rarely, that I love it once in a while; it's like a Halloween costume. People do treat you differently, and let's face it, we all wear a uniform of one kind or another. I've been a defendant in court, and the court officer thought I was an attorney.

If someone wants me to wear a suit and tie to work, it'll cost them another $20K per year, over and above what I'd get normally.
It's a ridiculous PITA. What, I'm somehow a better person because I'm wearing a piece of material knotted around my throat and an archaic outfit? |

I wear a shirt and tie at work every day. Suits from time to time, usually for business dinners, etc. I think having pride in your appearance it paramount in the business world, especially in finance/securities. "Dress for the job you want, not the job you have".
Never mind I had to wear a uniform for six years. I spent more time starching cammies than I ever do on what I wear now. Semper Fi |

Suit for weddings, funerals, and job interviews.
My last interview, my boss criticized me for dressing up so much. I told him I had to wear it. That suit had been used for two weddings, two funerals, and needed to be used for something good for a change. Although I'd never take a job where I had to wear a suit. |

I may have a suit in a closet somewhere. Don't even recall the color. Wore a white shirt with a tie to the last funeral. Cannot understand how people wear suits. All the ones I've ever had made you pray for the end of whatever event you had to attend just to get it off. Those contrivances called 'dress shoes' should be used on prisoners in Gitmo to obtain confessions. If you like them, fine; just that I prefer not to ever wear one again in this life. |

I hate it, but all men should own a good suit for the occasion. Guys that show up to weddings/funerals in jeans or even khaki's look like assholes.
