When in a suit i always felt i was breaking some sorf of etiquette when i simply removed my tie. Wearing speakers would have completely blown my mind. Then again when i wasn't used to wearing a suit i would always have a pair of speakers in my car for driving, so i could feel like a civilian again after work, but after a few weeks i got so used to wearing a suit all day that i actually felt kind of awkward in jeans and tshirt.
Or maybe Lira actually is an overly rich rockstar and his teaching gig is just for fun :wtf: |
are you high, man? :p |

I just think Lira's full of , period. As if some part of him didn't think he looked cool or different/like he was making a rebellious statement or whatever the , when he chose to put those shoes on. I'm sorry but you'd have to be partially retarded to get dressed for a wedding and reach for a ty pair of sneakers first, all in the name of comfort. We all know Lira is far from retarded.
The whole thing just screams "What would Zack Morris do?"
Besides, the whole comfort argument is bunk. Dress shoes are hardly what they used to be.

that's funny, as a guy who wears a suit every day I actually find myself buying shoes and matching my suit to my shoes. I like the shoes, belt, watch, cuff links, tie to make more of the outfit then the color of the suit, the fit of the suit, or even the patterns on the suit.
Case in point, I started my new outfit from a dark brown leather band watch with a white face (victorinox) from there I got white with red accent cuff links, then a brown leather belt with red accent buckle and some really nice dark leather brown shoes. This becomes interchangable with any of my suits since the accessories match well.
And yes, I wear my Yankees fitted with my navy suits. |

I do. A lot of people would. It's about the thought, the gesture. Respect and manners. It isn't just a pair of shoes. But I guess not everyone was raised like I was. |

A quality pair of men's dress shoes have always been comfortable. If you're buying crappy shoes then they won't be comfortable but I find my dress shoes more comfortable then sneakers.
Tip guys... if they cost less then $200 then leave them on the shelf because you're not going to like them on your feet. |

I'm with you on this one Jenny. Proper dress, manners, and presentation are a display of respect for those around you. Dressing inappropriately is just as bad as acting inappropriately (which is why if a man shows up for an interview with me and they aren't wearing a suit they pretty much have no chance). |

| Exactly. I'd like to know when the world turned so . People take things like this as personal stabs against their individuality or some . It's gotten out of hand, really. Nothing wrong with a good old fashioned sense of respect and etiquette. |

i don't disagree, but for me i guess it depends on the person and the type of wedding/occasion, if that makes any sense. in the end, i'm personally going to dress like how the situation dictates, but i'm not going to give a if someone else dresses slightly differently or doesn't completely adhere to the standard conventions.
of course there's instances when proper attire would just be downright offensive if not worn (such as a funeral) but.. meh. i'm a "don't mind me, do your thing" type of guy :p |

Given that I believe marriage ought to be a criminal offense, when I deign to show up to a wedding, I dare say that my presence alone is a greater show of respect than is likely warranted regardless of what I might hypothetically opt to wear.
However, when I wade out amongst the rabble, I always endeavor to equip an appropriate disguise so that my illustriousness does not attract unwanted attention. Consequently, I am condemned to compliance with arbitrary social norms in spite of the fact that they are devoid of any intrinsic value. Were I as vapid and superficial as the masses, this might be a nuisance; however, fortuitously, I could not care less about such a trifling matter as my attire, aside from whatever utilitarian advantages it might offer under the pertinent circumstances.
I do, however, feel obliged to emphasize that despite my coincidental adherence to your so-called etiquette, it is not, in fact, intended as an expression of respect, nor of deference to whatever inane traditions you may hold dear. Indeed, it would more accurately be interpreted as a manifestation of precisely the opposite: if I did not harbor such a low opinion of you or those with whom you associate, then I would not expect you to be duped by such a transpicuous disguise, thus eliminating my singular motivation for dressing as I do.
Conversely, you should not expect me to be impressed by your decorum, regardless of how assiduously you adhere to your perception of propriety. In actuality, the most effective exhibition of your obeisance would be to compose yourself so as to indicate your recognition of the plain and simple truth: I do not care what you wear. |
