I have a knitting design book that was written in the 1970s. The text is excellent, but the sample garments are pure 1970s awful. We're talking purple and pink ponchos, green and orange swim trunks ... modeled by the author and her family. Fortunately the color photos were all together so I could avoid them.
Flash forward to recent times ... a friend saw a knitting book by the same author in my collection and he let me know his mom was the author! I asked him if he was one of the models in the 1970s book and his reply? "Yes, I hated that ... and the swim trunks itched."
Enneagram 5w4. I'm researching what that means, before designing t-shirt art about it.
"I feel no shame in making lavish use of the strongest muscles, namely male ones (but my own strongest muscle is dedicated to the service of men - noblesse oblige). I don't begrudge men one whit of their natural advantages as long as they respect mine. I am not an unhappy pseudomale; I am female and like it that way." RAH
I actually wear boots with my tux - and have received only positive comments from the ladies. From guys, I typically get "you can wear boots with a tux?"
I spent two hours this afternoon in Dillards department store, trying on suits. It's been 20 years since I bought myself a new suit.
dang! I look SO much better in a suit. I looked so good in that mirror. I was trying on $500 suits, $900 suits, even some $2000 suits. This may be a more expensive gift for myself I had planned.

What makes a man look good? I was at a middle-school function last night, surrounded by other dads. I was seated with a guy who looked a lot better than I do - even though he was wearing polyester chinos and a polo shirt with his company logo on it, while I was wearing a sports coat with a sharp-looking shirt, wool trousers, shiny black shoes. Why? He's younger, thinner, more buff, taller and has a square jaw. Clothes make the man, but only so far.
My next set of weight goals will to be to get down to ~168 lbs. I'll try the HFG look then.
I've mentioned my attorney in other clothing posts. He's in his early 60s, dresses well but not without a few errors ... but his frame is top-notch. He has almost military posture (very tall and straight), and walks into a courtroom like he owns the place, in a relaxed way. [He's fit, but with a runner's body, and bearded.] If you saw him in a crowd of lawyers, you'd easily pick him out as one of the best in out large city.
Frame isn't everything ... but it's 90% of everything.

Now, a successful, polished business look is appreciated more as the attraction it is.

In 1975, the most successful business look was the loose-cut Brooks Brothers suit. It did a great job of hiding the body ... back then, women preferred the tighter Italian cut suits that were too fashionable for most American businesses.
In 2016, business suits are cut tighter, so they show off the male form. Adam, I know you remember the old suit styles ... don't get one of those. If you can't rock a slim-cut suit, don't get a suit at all.
That's why I suggested a HFG look (with $$$$ cowboy boots). Jeans look good on any man without a huge belly, and the white shirt and well-cut jacket take the jeans out of the "band shirt" realm. And if you have the Frame that says "I dress this way because I like it, fuck convention", you'll get those IOIs.

Traditional doesn't mean outdated or boring. I purchased a very 'traditional' Ralph Lauren suit in a medium gray recently. I dig this look for it, and am on the hunt now for the right shirt/tie combo:
Add in a really cool square that pops, and I promise you get attention. It also helps if you Bogart the room like you own it, but I do that in my pajamas.
