I marked comfortable since that is how I dress most of the time. But I can put on the Ritz if the situation calls on it. From jeans and shirts, khakis, and sport jackets and slacks to tuxedos. I have them all and wear what is appropriate to the place and time. Though new made, the suits and tuxes are classic designs and colors. Nothing trendy or "fashionable" other than looking good. And as an short fat ugly mean old man that has been told he looks elegant in evening clothes, I'll keep doing what I'm doing.

I've never owned or been on a tuxedo. I'm sure I would like them though.

Those cumberbuns sure hold the gut in!

I wore a tuxedo a lot for a few years. I had a couple tailor made for me and paid for by the hotel, and they were pretty sweet. But at the end of the night, it was always nice to get out of it

I got one of mine out for a recent wedding. It fit. I'm in the same overweight condition as 20 year old Austin.

I don't know if I remember when I was 20 let alone remember if I was overweight or not.

I forgot about my son's wedding a few yrs back, I rented a suit then too, and got all snappy'd up on that occassion. mid 90's I believe.
