The formals

(i know mostly women browse this section so i'll direct my question at you)
What type of suits do you find attractive/hot? ie pinstripe, straight, all black, ...etc

And what about labels? (Boss, CEO, etc...)

Cheers

just as long as the jacket isnt done up, suits are hot.
all black.
with a coloured tie.
or a brightly coloured shirt, no tie.
and depending on the style of the suit, and length of the shirt, it can look hot with the shirt NOT tucked in.

The colour of the suit depends on the setting, occasion and what your date is wearing, white generally makes you look like a tool.

Black is conservative but safe, a dark shimmery grey looks so good if you can pull it off.
I don't think many girls give a shit what brand your suit is so long as it looks good on you. So make sure it's the right fit for you.

If you really must express your personality and be "different" (i'm looking at you, mr brightside!), do it with your tie.

Labels are overrated. They draw more attention to your wallet than how good you look in it.

Belts act as a divider between top and pants.

Guy 1 is wearing a baby blue shirt but due to the lack of photography ability by whoever is holding the camera, the shot is overexposed making the shirt white. Even then he is stupid to have the same colour shirt and tie.

Oh and faint white striped pants.

she speaks truth :)
look for something...old...different..unique...
I dug my tie out of a trunk of my dad's old clothes.
I found (and now love) a black skinny tie with small red dots on it.
It's a 'punters choice (haha) by Cadis London'

Labels? forget it! my suit was 100 bucks from lowes :)

I'm not even technically wearing a suit..
Black pinstripe flairs, floor length trenchcoat and a formal shirt with some combrat boots.

Formal enough to get away with it but not enough to not look like i have all year.

Essentially its every day me with a spitshine.
