If you could dictate how men should dress in this day in age, what would your suggestion be? since i don't know alot of the fashion terms and trends, i will refer to periods during the last century.

I made that sub awhile ago to talk about it, but I got the vibe that talking about clothes is gay.

One thing moms teach is how to dress right. That doesn't mean you have to be Momma's boy forever, because what she's really teaching you is the importance of knowing how and being able to wear clothes respectably.

Mom made it easy for herself and always let me wear any of the clothes she bought me, except I had to wear Sunday clothes to church.

yes, while also teaching you how to look presentable.

Men should dress for their work but none of this stupid hipster or trendy shit we see today.

Working in IT I was expected to have khakis and a button down which was fucking stupid. When you have to crawl around under desks or fish cables under a raised floor in the datacenter it is god damn pointless. Let me just have my jeans and a comfortable shirt.

When I worked outside in labor I was in Jeans, boot's and a weather appropriate shirt/jacket/gloves/etc.

Outside of work might be more what you are thinking for the question though. In that case, I still go with the "working man" kind of attire but clean and well cut.

Find a tailor, buy some quality shirts that fit you fairly well and then get them tailored, same thing with pants. It used to be that you would do this (everyone would) and you didn't have the "one size fits all" kind of stuff in the stores. You look better, the clothing fits better and your are more comfortable. It is a investment but you only need a few sets and they should last a long time as long as you bought quality and rotate them regularly.

All men should have a few outfits for more formal situations but the rest should be clean, well cut and casual unless it is for work. Then it should be practical for the job you do.

yeah, i agree. i'm looking to go see a tailor and hopefully get all my measurements. I think that men who have integrity and want to be apart of the solution should dress pratically, but still look like they have pride in their appearance. I cant stand todays fashion trends, and especially when it comes to the younger men and women. I often think of what my grandparents would think of todays youth and appearance, and i'll bet that they would be quite upset, if not disgusted.

I tossed at least a dozen ruined shirts - from ink bleeding pens. Man does it suck when that happens.

Always dress 1 level above what is called for. Also, a prohibition is needed for men wearing flip fucking flops (aka, victim shoes) in public unless going to water or martial mats. Even then, there are better options.
