Some professions have to wear suits. I do at my job every day of the week. Not a fair comparison

Exactly. I’m a professional, so I wear slacks to work, but this high-school kid keeps saying they’re immodest because of the effect that bifurcated women’s clothing has on him. It makes perfect sense if immodesty is defined solely by the subjective feelings of others.
 
It isn’t. But women’s fashion tends to be more sexual and revealing than men’s fashion
 
BTW, it’s satire. I don’t actually think male business attire is immodest. Hot, but not immodest.

Nope. Never been to a wedding, and the first funeral I ever attended was my dad’s recently. But it wasn’t really a funeral per se, but a small service. I tried to dress my best, but I didn’t have a suit.
 
I also think a man in a well tailored suit is hot. But does that mean men shouldn’t wear well tailored suits to mass because I might find it attractive, or does it mean I should be responsible for the custody of my own eyes and my own thoughts? I’m not addresssing that specifically to you, TheAmazingGrace, it’s just a general quesiton.
 
I´m sorry for that occasion, I didn´t want to scratch in wounds.
I still think every man should at least have a Blazer-trouser combo. Well fitting cothing is not found in a day when an invitation for a wedding for example arrives 😉
 
Like I said earlier in the thread, male immodesty (in terms of what they wear) is usually present in the pictures they post on social media, imo.

I agree with you, actually. The piece I posted was just playing with the modesty double standard that a lot of Christians neglect to address.

It wouldn’t hurt. Although I’m not sure how often I’d wear it. Besides, I live in Texas, so it’s pretty hot too 🙂

I am considering getting a blazer. Do you think a dark blue like this works?(Please Note: This uploaded content is no longer available.)
Or a black one?
 
Idk personally I think guys that wear blazers are tools unless they’re wearing it for work
 
I really like the cut (ok, a little suit-fanatic as I am, I worked in a Suit Boutique for a year :-D)
I think dark blue has many benefits - in job interviews, for example, black sometimes appears as “man has only one suit, never wears suits in general, so picked out his one funeral combo”.
 
Dallas, either is a classic and a good thing for a guy to own. However, please get someone to make sure your blazer fits correctly. The guy in the pic looks like his blazer would not close properly. Not that he cares, because he is going for a certain look. Not a fan of the tee shirt and blazer look myself, but, to each his own.
