Do You Wear A Suit Every Day For Work?

[hc4361]

I never have and I wondered how many suits you own and how often the get cleaned? Do you always get the jacket and trousers cleaned together?
I tend to put clean clothes on for work every day - it's so easy to throw them in the washer and dryer and don't even need ironing but I realise this isn't practical for suit wearers.

I no longer work but when i did i often wore a nice jacket and trousers, ones that could go in the wash.

dry cleaning is so expensive these days. Now everything goes in the washing machine.

I don't own a suit preferring casual dress.

[Mamyalynne]

Lots of machine washable suits now hc.

Never needed a suit for work as most of my working life was spent in uniform.

Many years ago I used to wear suit jackets and trouser to work which my uncle used to clean for free at his dry cleaners. Then around 15 years ago they introduced uniforms at work and they were machine washable. I just wear casual stuff to work now.

[ummmm]

Never. All my jobs have been casual wear. My son works for the civil service and he can wear what he wants as they are not customer faced.

I'd say suit wearers have lots of suits. If it were me I'd buy 2 trousers for each jacket.

I'm a window cleaner - I might get a few funny looks, climbing my ladder donned in 1 of my 2 suits that I own.
My suits get worn at weddings , funerals and any other functions where it's fitting .... but apart from that, I'm a jeans and t-shirt guy :)

My late husband had Marks washable suits or blazer and trousers for work but in fact the jackets weren't worn unless he was going out of the office or had a very important visitor. He either worked in shirtsleeves or wore a sweater and that was usual office usage for the businesses he worked with as well. He would change his trousers at very least twice a week but more often in summer. He did have one super smart suit and one smart blazer and trousers ensemble for very special occasions, also a DJ and these did have to be dry cleaned but weren't worn often.

I work in an area where all the 'office type staff' wear trousers, shirt and tie but not suits/jacket - would only only see a suit on for special occasions or customer meetings apart from some older men who prefer to wear a suit all time. I'm sure any suit would be sent to the cleaners with both parts.

Mum & dad bought me a suit for my first job, I wore it for about a month. The dress code was relaxed & I've never owned one since.

The only other times I've worn one, they were hired - one for my wedding & the others for funerals.

I used to have about 3 suits but only need one 3-piece suit now which is a grey pin stripe.

[david small]

For eighteen months I had to wear a suit to work.
Now my old suit doesn’t fit me. Though I have a new modern suit I never wear it.

For 30 years I wore a morning suit and a dinner suit every day! I had 2 of each. I had one of each cleaned every week.

[woofgang]

I have been tidying and decluttering the house sheds and garage since may 2017 and I have finished

[woofgang]

how did that happen? I was posting on the good news thread

[bednobs]

someone at my work wears a bowler in the winter and a panama in the summer. it's a very old fashioned workplace, but big. We have everything from that guy to all year round short wearers

Are you in the funeral business, Mexican?
