Funny you should say that because whenever I see video of British High Streets, British sports stadiums and British seaside towns the mode of male clothing is almost identical as that in USA/Canada, Polo/short sleeve button shirts, baseball caps and blue jeans,jogging/running shoes and, of course, the absolute essential in UK, a rain jacket or coat. There is also very often, with the younger set, a courier bag slung over the neck.

oh wow it must be right then cus you saw it on a video..obviously walking around seeing people up close in their day to day lives and looking at what is being sold in clothes shops gives completely the wrong impression.

He does have a point. The only people I recall getting dressed up to watch football are the club directors and the wannabee hard boys.

Just corrected some of your points, Bristol, lest you find yourself making a dapperly faux-pas.

Ahem, call me a tosser, but I only have one suit that I use for all suit wearing occasions business or otherwise (weddings etc, etc). I got it in 1996 and have no intention of buying another one in my lifetime (so I'd better not get too porky in my middle age).

A business suit in a non business location is terrible. A Kays catalogue special suit in a business situation is worse. A suit is not just a suit, you're right, you are a tosser

I guess high powered lawyers charging $300 an hour need 2 suits.

And onlY one pair of jeans, by the sound of it. I imagine your wife has no shortage of closet space for herself.

I haven't had much cause recently to wear suits but I sometimes miss puting on a nice, good quality suit in the morning with a nice, freshly laundered shirt, tie and well polished shoes. Arriving at the office feeling dressed to take on the world is the way to start of a busy, profitable day.

My morning suit was hired from Moss Bros.

Chav.

Rentals can be spotted a mile off because of the temporary alterations. I bought mine. It was cheaper than renting for two weeks.

It has long been consigned to the bin. The Black Tie is merrily rotting in the closet, along with about ten suits, many shirts and heaven knows how many ties.

I get booted & suited so rarely these days I have to think hard about how to knot a tie.

Not at all. I don't own a casual suit and don't wear one in the office if I can get away with it.

I don't own a suit at the moment, and hopefully it'll be a long time before I need to get another one.

Actually, thinking on it, I don't even have anything that could reasonably be called 'smart business casual' clothes either.

That was even funnier than yesterday's lost and found report about a prosthetic eye found in a restaurant.

Jingsamichty

Wow. Leaving a glass eye must be a difficult thing to do by mistake. Perhaps he's now walking around with a lychee in his skull.
