Wearing a Suit Makes you More Powerful

[Mushroom]

Suits, that's a damn good looking suit, that's what I'm talking about. Day game is easy mode when you go out looking like that. No mater where you're going, it makes you standout as someone successful and important. It lowers a woman's defenses causing them to assume (rightfully so in most cases) that you're not trying to chat them up forever because you come across as having shit to do and needing to be somewhere.

And I am honored to be in your signature.

After reading this thread I might consider giving the suit style a try...
Guess I better head over to the clothing & dressing thread

I feel fucking great when dressed to the 9's and sipping on whiskey.

My man!

Indeed. A well-fitted Hugo Boss suit and your favourite drink.

Wearing a custom suit is even better, too many guys these days wearing suits that just don't fit and they end up looking like clowns. If you wear a custom suit and go out by yourself to a place where suits are acceptable but rare, you're gonna get a bunch of attention in a positive way, since you're basically conveying that you're a positive person who gives zero fucks.

I would hate to pay big bucks for a suit then gain another 15 lbs from working out and then not be able to fit in it anymore...

I have an off-the-rack suit that is okay that no longer fits me since I started lifting seriously. I'm in the market for a new suit or two now.

Don't need to bother if it's bespoke !

Went to see my tailor yesterday, had to choose between :

Not for business in any way...

Suits, that's a damn good looking suit, that's what I'm talking about.

I have a suit that is virtually identical to that one. However, the shoes and socks are very next level. I hope to reach that level one day.

I love the sneakers with suit look.. So fresh

Unfortunately, it's about the hardest look to pull off. But if you can, you can get a lot of millage with it.

I don't wear a full formal suit every day (I mean suit, pants tie, or even vest).

I do see why guys here would think that working out is more valuable than fabric. However, to me, fabric takes a higher priority and has given me way more mileage in how much respect and value I earn, including money. It's not that I don't work out. However I have a skinny frame and the lifting has given me some upper body mass that I feel is enough for now. My fashion takes care of the rest and goes a long way.

I wear some slim fit pants, a blazer, a shirt that pops and a matching pocket square. I have a distinct image. People compliment the look. I've even got into a sales contest and won to make my boss wear pocket squares for a week. He also got compliments.

I'm about the only guy rocking this look in the downtown Chicago area so I stand out. My point is that it gives me a lot of confidence and power to stand out like this beyond just a traditional suit. And, oh yeah, I hate ties.

We're very much on the same page about personal style. I rarely wear ties as well. I just wear what makes me feel great. I started wearing suits daily when I was a point in my life where I needed a confidence boost and it helped out a lot.

Although I've grown as a man to where I feel confident with or without the suit, I still love the feeling to gives me when I throw one on.

There's no substitute for walking out the door in the morning know that you look your absolute best.

I've been lazy the last two years, because I've been focused on other things instead of maintaining my wardrobe and trip to the drycleaners, so I've been mostly just wearing blazers over jeans.

However, having reached a point of stability where I can earn great money without having work as hard for it as I did in the past, I've taking my entire suit collection out of storage and am about to jump back into daily wearing.

Because I love suits.

Ditto on the slim fit pants.

Based upon my observations, I think that any good clothes make you feel more powerful and more attractive. Especially if you have a decent body.



The only thing you need to keep in mind is...what kind of women (and people in general) you want to attract?



When I was wearing my suit (I was on my way to the Uni, had a presentation to do, so I needed to look serious) with all accessories (tie, shoes, expensive Swiss watch...), I drew attention of women who obviously are looking for a walking ATM and Dildo machine. They want me...but I don't want them. Not to mention that they are older (25+, and I do not date them, unless their second name is Gates or Jobs).



On the other hand, when I wear my leather jacket (biker style) and a good pair of jeans and boots, I tend to attract younger women, which look for fun. Mostly girls who are at Uni, or even High School. I prefer that type of girls (less baggage, and better LTR prospects), so I focus on that style ( they call it "Canadian woodcutter style" here ).




What I want to say is that you can feel powerful regardless of clothing you are wearing. "Inner game" and a good psychique are the key. The only difference is with what kind of people you want to interact with (i.e girls).

This is a serious question:

Any of you suit wearers who also workout regularly run into problems with outgrowing your suits? Right now I do not own a suit that fits me, and I'm honestly hesitant to get one made if I'm still on that gain-train and will grow out of that one in the near future as well. Should I just hold off until I'm at a body size I plan to stay at for a long time, or should I get a suit made that has a little bit of room? Do they make high-quality suits that have stretchy materials?

I like this new trend of making suits more casual with sneakers. Looks dapper af.

I experienced that problem.


Two of my suits are getting tight for me in the crotch and the upper leg area, and I can barely close the suit jacket. I bought these when I was 83 kg. Now, I am 91 kg (gained mostly muscle, and a little bit of fat as well. Aiming for 110 kg). I might have to get rid of them soon. Pity...they are very nice... .



Now, if you really need a suit, get one from some second hand store, or some auction on Ebay.



What I suggest is that you avoid (if possible) buying any suits before you hit you body size goal(s). When you eventually reach your goal, then you can start building your wardrobe.


Trust me, letting a nice suit go (custom made Pal Zileri)...ain't fun

I will say that I agree with this. I live in a university town though am a bit older than uni age and have found that even though my wardrobe has improved since moving here, I do not seem to have any better success with my target audience (uni age). More casual style that is well put together seems to do a better job overall. Perhaps it is because a suit makes me look "too old". Perhaps it is because the girls just want fun and so my leather jacket/boots look just looks more fun. Whatever the reason, I think if you want uni age girls, my experiences have not shown suit game to be more effective. Just my two cents.

In my case I feel very awkward using casual wear, but I'm comfortable using suits. Also, the inner game and mindset play a huge part in regards to your image. For example: If you feel like an office drone when using a suit, you'll project that image, but if you feel like an interesting man with a nice suit, you'll project that image.

TL;DR: The suit isn't necessarily the problem, it's the mindset.

Like the colour and look except for the skinny lapels. I hate those and think it makes the wearer look childish
