Does anyone think suits and ties are still fashionable?

The following is my own opinion/philosophy on suits.

It used to be that wearing an expensive suit meant you were a success or someone important, today I personally feel this has changed.

When I see a person wearing a suit today I immediately think uncomfortable, stuffy, scam, hidden agenda, high pressure sale, liar, con-artist, dirt ball, possible politician or lastly Who Died?

Suits for the most part signify not success, but manipulation these days.

Maybe it's just all the classical conditioning over the years by scumbags on Wall Street and lying politicians, but I do remember when the Big Three went to dress causal, instead of suits and ties.

Savvy sales people these days shy away from wearing a suit, and choose something that is comfortable, but dressy.

What are your thoughts?

You could be kinda right. I still expect to see men wearing suits at funerals out of respect but the rest of what you say is somewhat true I suppose.

I mean if you hear a knock on your door and open it and there stands a man in a suit...what is your first thought? I myself might be suspicious of him at first.

Even at funerals I see less and less suits being worn.

It's just that creepy feeling you get when you see someone in a suit.

I remember wearing suits to work everyday and I couldn't wait to get the damn thing off at the end of the day and put something comfortable on.

When I see people in suits in 100 degree weather, I think wtf? Makes no sense.

I'm not a fashion expert. All I know is when it's hot and humid, you gotta be comfortable.
