Hot, but not smoldering. Then watch how he looks in this:


Vultures (Live in L.A.) - YouTube





Absolutely delicious All I can think of is whats under that suit, lol
I am a straight man so I am at a significant disadvantage in judging male hotness.

I think formality is sexy in a way, lol. I have no idea why.

Men's Wearhouse has a great deal going on right now, I need to get on that.

I agree we shouldn't make lasting snap judgments about people based on how they dress, but I think it's unavoidable. Someone in a stained wifebeater and dirty jeans is gonna give people one impression. That same guy could simply put on clean jeans and a nice tshirt and look 100x better.

So I conducted my first test of wearing a suit in a place that didn't require it and it was pretty awesome. People thought I was very important and were letting me cut in line. I have to admit I was pretty surprised. I still think its strange, but what it does to other people's perception of you is crazy.

Wait until you hit on a woman.

Ehh Men's Wearhouse is mediocre at best, unless the deal is really awesome you're better off elsewhere for low-end stuff (below $300), made-to-measure for higher end stuff ($500+), and in general not buying suits in the 350-500 quality options gap. All prices "real" prices, not MSRP. For cheaper stuff, I've found Macys to have some surprisingly good deals when they have one of their deeper sales.

If you're really looking to save money, you'd be surprised at the quality of stuff that shows up sometimes secondhand at places like goodwill, salvation army, etc. Just make sure to dry clean it before bringing it home and have it tailored before wearing. This is what I did for sports coats back in college.

edit: If you want something that doesn't have the discomfort of a cheap suite, price of an expensive suite, nor the excessive formality of either, but still retains the ability to help with pulling down girls, a great set up is a nice pair of jeans, button-down shirt (slim fit, untucked), and a sport coat. Comfortable, can be thrown together on the cheap, effective, and doesn't make you That Guy going about day-to-day life in a suite under the age of 50.

I think if you're going to go the retail route, a JosABank will do the trick nicely

You're better off waiting for Joseph A. Bank to have one of there huge sales. Some of the sales they have towards the holiday season are just amazing.
