I completely understand those who can’t afford it. For those that can, stop being fat, lazy, and and/or insecure.

You do realize the insecure ones are the ones wearing suits, right? They are doing specifically because of what others will think of them.

The people not wearing suits are more in the "IDAF what others think of my attire, I'm going to show support."

The lack of men wearing powdered wigs at formal parties is sad!

Polos and khakis are church clothes now.

I wear a suit but I don't fault others.

I retired in April- haven't even worn anything but shorts since that day. For many years I had to wear a suit to work, so don't want to be reminded of those days. Yes, I still own a couple of suits, but unless a really important wedding or funeral, would not wear a suit. Last funeral I went to, only a select few had suits, and this was a more highly respected family.

No they aren't.

I don't wear a suit because of what other people will think of me. I wear a suit because I'm respectful of the people that asked me to be in attendance.

I think of it as the people not wearing suits are too inconsiderate to be inconvenienced by their own personal preferences.

This is the only reason I own seven suits. Those two events are the only reason I wear them.

The same goes for church. Nobody wears their "Sunday Best" to services any more...including me.

Most people should just be thankful people are attending.
