Is it like that for men with women? Of course not if she was in a business suit, but say a nice dress and heels.

I will be attending a 6-day conference, and I’m required to wear formal attire (like in a business meeting). The problem is, I only have 2 suits (ie the overcoat + long pants) and suits are very expensive here, costing around $200-$400. I was wondering if I can wear them again and again for those days and then dry clean afterwards.

PS: I am very inexperienced with suits. My dad has never taught me about them.

Men have to wear suits all the time (coat with trousers and tie). Can we get women to adopt a standard too? something spandex ?

So, if it’s a fashonable Italian style or nice quality 2 or 3 button suit with no vents, and the man is fit and well groomed looking and the suit is nicely fitted to this man, is losing the tie so bad really?

I look at the fashion mags and see male models occasionally modeling suits without ties, so Yes or No to sometimes losing the tie?
Interesting answers so far.

Think about any issue of a magazine that focuses on celebrities, and how many guys you see in any given issue in a suit sans tie.

So, if rockstars and movie stars can do this, why can’t I?

I appreciate the opinions both pro and con!
