Well-tailored suits also make you look sharp af.
The day I got the most compliments for my clothes was when I was wearing a suit for my college farewell and smoking (no, it's not a cool habit, I'm just an addict) at a tea stall.
I don't ever get compliments if I'm not wearing a suit. Not a single one.
Do you ever "dress up" in anything but a suit? Color coordination and properly matching all the pieces of clothing, shoes, and accessories are the most basic of basics but very few people do them.
This is just a cultural effect.
I'm in India, suit wearing is not really a big cultural thing anymore (and I doubt it ever was for most people). At least if you're not a bureaucrat.
In many places being a bureaucrat is exactly the impression you will make, wearing a suit. Depends on the individual, whether they want that. As an engineer I wouldn't want that.
yeah its almost a meme -- the real engineers rock up in sweatpants
No, what I mean is people finding other people in suits attractive is a cultural thing across the world. I am also from India.
Fair enough. Though there must be some sort of universality in what people find attractive in men. Some lingering evolutionary behaviour (not necessarily suits), no?
