re: The lack of men wearing suits at weddings and funerals is sad.

Must be a narcissistic metrosexual thing. Like little girlies playing dress up. Suits have become unnecessary attire (except for a immediate family funeral or you are a lawyer)
This cracks me up - they're either unnecessary or they're not. If they're necessary for some things, then you agree the way you dress matters.

a wedding this weekend that is very formal, I've actually been asked to wear my uniform
Is that a thing?
It's a teensy but rude to not let all guests wear costumes IMHO FWIW

sort of is in my community, btw, whenever a guy kicks it it's pretty common for the widow to request everyone to wear their uniform

Ohhhh a military uniform, then? I thought you meant your regular uniform.
I made the costume joke about your daily duds FTR

It is sad.
My grandfather did not leave the house without a coat and tie. He worked in his field in coveralls, but if he had to go anywhere but the feed store he took a shower, shined his shoes, and put on a coat and tie.

I don't think I've been to a wedding in 10 years. All of my friends and family are already married or divorced. The next round will probably be nieces and nephews.

my Dad bought this old house on about 5-7 acres behind our house to use as his office, his therapy was his garden, always had a huge garden, he would walk to and from work, after work he would stop in the garden and work for a bit, still in his suit and tie, I have a pic of him riding on his tractor prepping the garden in his suit, we used to call him "Mr. Douglas" (from Green Acres)

Sounds like a lot of time wasted.

different era baw, sounds like ole baw probably used his time wisely, just because you're not on a computer or iPhone doesn't mean you're not bust, in fact I think it's just the opposite

Sorry I'm not wearing a suit to the wedding of some people I hardly know when it's 95 outside

Was just having conversation with some folks in a meeting at the plant last week. Almost every older plant facility has locker rooms and showers(if they haven't been repurposed) that go 95% unused. The reason is your professional folks like engineers and managers dressed in shirt and tie and maybe coat until the 80s.
When they'd go out into field they'd change into a coveralls or 'field clothes' and when done they'd shower and dress back up to go into the buildings.
Now professionals in plants wear jeans or khakis, dri-fit polos or fishing shirts, and business casual 'sport' looking shoes. And they usually bring an extra shirt to keep in office if they get dirty/sweaty.
The trend is clearly gone but some evidence of it remains.
I think dressing up for work is fricking retarded. Save it for weddings, funerals, and events.

Perhaps a lot of poors where the OP lives. Weddings and funerals that I attend are all suits, and if you're not rolling in a custom suit you are kinda trashy.

Summer weddings in Wisconsin might see a high of 82-85.

I'm probably showing up to the funeral in my work clothes (khakis and polo) since I'd be coming from work and going back to work after the services.
Are you implying you can’t wear a suit to work and the funeral? Seems like you could wear a suit to both.

We should all aspire to dress like this fine man, each and every day.
