First of all, thank you all for the great advice and perspective you all provide. I've learned some very invaluable tips here.
If I may, let me start with the first question - need to give some background before the question begins...
I use to be a Tom Ford "whore" (stopped spending all my $ on clothes a while ago), have quite a few Base A suits, mostly 3 piece from late 2010-2011. My lapels are mostly peak and the lapels are fairly wide compared to say my Isaia or Zegna suit/jackets. Now, I haven't put much thought into suits since my job didn't require me to wear suits, actually it almost seems like casual is almost mandatory (no one even seems to wear a button down anymore around here except for me a few others ... in case you're wondering, yes I'm in Tech). Having said that, my new GF insists that I dress up more often but my thought is that my suits are probably out of style, although a good friend says that classic never goes out of style, I see everyone's lapels thinner than a standard ruler. I've been pretty much a chino/casual slacks and polo/button down kinda guy for years now. I do jeans and T's quite a bit as well. Having said that, are my wide lapel TF's out of style or "classic", and I should keep rocking them? I must admit that I wear them to weddings but I feel very conscious seeing 95% of the folks with jackets with tiny lapels and pants so narrow and hemmed above the ankle. My 3pc are all cuffed and the other 2 pc aren't cuffed but they are certainly wider than 7.5'
Thoughts?
Any and all input is greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone
