"Now I see people now are wearing shorts now with suits, so maybe that's enough to really bring me over to the side [of wearing suits] full time."
Said John Fetterman, wearing a suit for once:

So, why WAS he wearing a suit?
Sure my memory is faulty but I’m certain that I have seen him in a suit before, and thought he was on Capitol Hill.
FWIW, he still looked sloppy with his top shirt button unbuttoned. But it's an improvement.
Who's wearing shorts with a suit? That's a new one on me.
BFF AI tells me: Wearing a suit with shorts is a bold, modern warm-weather fashion statement that works best when the shorts are sharply tailored and hit right at or just above the knee.
So it's bold. Got it.
Yeah score one for my 64yo noodle:
According to GQ, “Nov 15, 2022: Wore suit and blue tie for new member orientation at U.S. Capitol.”As noted by Washington Examiner, “He still wears suits to committee meetings when they are required.”
Wilbur gay models and Euroweenies do. Not normal men. Oh and Angus Young could pull it off. Again, not a normal dude.
Fetterman absolutely has worn suits before. He does so, for example, for the State of the Union and other joint addresses. He also does so for certain committee meetings where there's a dress code, and he has done so for certain floor votes when there was a requirement to do so.
While I personally dislike short suits (actually, including on women), they're probably better, aesthetically, to me, than sloppy or casual wear.
It pained me to type that.
…he looks good…now if we can coax him to Moscot to do something about his sunglasses…
In recent years, I've been to funerals where people were very casual, even sloppy, and there were more bright colors than subdued ones, let alone black. Once that happened for a third time, I decided that the barn door was wide open and the horses long gone.
…Angus only please…and technically that kit is a school uniform…
My son is 26. He owns a suit, and, honestly, it's a mission of my mine to make sure he always has a well-fitting one and a sports coat and nice dress slacks. (I tell him that's what he gets for having an older mother.) He tells me that among his friends of his age cohort, he's about the only one who has a sports jacket, let alone a suit. More evidence of barn door and horses.
Son wouldn't be caught dead in a shorts suit (although he wears shorts all of the time). I take comfort in that.
There’s a wedding picture in the OWH of a guy wearing shorts. His wife is wearing a traditional white wedding dress.
...I’m not a fan of eliminating standards but there’s too many ways to take offense and for me too few days where people bother to show up so I’ve reluctantly, happily lowered the bar…
"There’s a wedding picture in the OWH of a guy wearing shorts. His wife is wearing a traditional white wedding dress."
Was he wearing socks? What type? What type of shoes? Inquiring minds want to know.
Lord, this is like picking at a scab. I best stop.
The suit color is a baby blue. No socks. Loafers. Unbuttoned white shirt.
But the wife is beautiful!
…the weeding parties I see here so far no shorts but there’s been a few…not clam diggers but definitely nowhere near a quarter break, no socks with john lobbs. I suppose every generation has their Canadian tuxedo…take that Carney!
…wedding please. I keep the typos to annoy the censors but sometimes…
OWH?
Arcane acronyms, grrr. AAG.
…where I officiated last year I was warned by the bride there would be some overalls and worse but everyone stepped up- the youngsters nailed it and for the old guys mostly suits but clean and pressed shirts. The guy tis the costume designer from Broadway, well, you know, 80s club kid but he did change into it for the wedding so I suppose it was special…the women needed no prompting- a plus…
So any of you formality folks prefer Mamdami over Fetterman as Democrats just because of their dressing standard?
I've only seen 2 people wear shorts with a suit. Both in the 80's. One was in AC/DC and the other was an MTV host at spring break.
Fun Fact, Angus and Malcolm Young’s older brother George co-wrote the song “Friday on My Mind” and was a member of the band The Easybeats. Their sister made their stage uniforms, including Angus’s iconic schoolboy costume.
Wearing a suit interferes with bike riding to work. Bermudas and a golf tee-shirt is the way to go.

Good for you. If you don't own a proper suit, you're not a man. You're just an over-grown boy. You may not wear it very often, but every now and then it's disrespectful not to.
…bike riding interferes with me driving to work…
Wilbur - OWH is not archaic, just local. Omaha World-Herald, our local newspaper.
And now I have posted here for the first time after lurking for years.
The Lost City.
Good to meet you, Nebraska Grandma. And yes, I was stuck on "OWH".
As for mens shorts, no one should ever wear shorts with a suit. As a full time shorts wearing Floridian, I can tell you that no one here would ever go outside wearing a suit with shorts. Heck...this time of year, in this heat, you can't even find a man wearing a suit, unless he's a General Manager of a luxury hotel.
Ann from Wisconsin cannot get her head around short pants, but if Ann from Wisconsin lived here along the Gulf of America, Meade would be running around in lime green shorts on a daily basis. And she'd think it was cute. Or...madness.
Perhaps capris would be better. A capris compromise.
Angus Young. Of course. He owns suit with shorts.
Women get a lot more choices in sartoria than men, with good reason. Just look at professional golfers: women can wear shorts, longs, pedal pushers, skirts, even dresses. And they look good in all of them. Men get one choice: longs. That's because men look better when they're mostly covered up.
"Now I see people now are wearing shorts now with suits..."
He said the word "now" 3 times. I thought that was interesting.
"That's because men look better when they're mostly covered up."
You mean it's not because we're too sexy already and showing the leg hair would just be cruel?
Nebraska Grandma! Hello! Thanks for revealing yourself and for offering such precise wisdom.
I was guessing the O was for Omaha, because it was Dave Begley, but WH was a mystery.
…yes I’m grateful when golf weather is long pants, mostly because club dress codes require shirt tails tucked in…even with shorts. Nothing more perplexing than an old guy with a gut and his shirt tucked in to his shorts confronting a young guy about removing a golf cap indoors or tucking in a fitted polo…
IN 1957 Jack Paar appeared in a tux with matching bermudas.
"Ann from Wisconsin cannot get her head around short pants, but if Ann from Wisconsin lived here along the Gulf of America, Meade would be running around in lime green shorts on a daily basis. And she'd think it was cute. Or...madness."
1. What an image. I could emulate Drew Barrymore.
2. The guys of Wisconsin tend to wear shorts not just to avoid getting hot but in spite of getting very cold. It's a year-round thing.
3. I'm pleased that you remember Meade's green pants, a highlight of our courtship.
4. I've always had a few exceptions about shorts, including if the temperature is high enough, maybe in the 80s and you're actually going to be outdoors.
5. It was never a rule, just advice on how not to ruin your sexual attractiveness by looking like an overgrown child.
I could see Fetterman in a kilt
I can see him in traditional Viking garb.
On the surface Fettermann is a clown. But on stuff that matters he's in the mainstream of the US senate. He's even faker then the "Maverick" was.
The whole idea is mind-bending, suits cut with shorts. My God. The principle of shorts is that it's hot - so let's add an extra item to get that SPF up ! Here, have a vest to go with it, you have to layer up in this heat. Now, never mind about that long-sleeved jacket, why we'll chop the sleeves off that baby, too, it'll contrast nicely with those wide lapels. Here, have a loud tie to choke yourself with that tight collar, it's only 98° - in the shade. But now all the men are doing it, now.
Who comes up with this drivel ?
…maybe y’all could have a talk with my over thirty nephew about the wifebeaters?
Welcome Nebraska grandma. Thanks for the response.
But do recognize that I said arcane, not archaic. Different words entirely.
"It was never a rule, just advice on how not to ruin your sexual attractiveness by looking like an overgrown child."
That always makes me chuckle. Good thing I'm at the age where I don't care much about that. Good thing my wife still thinks I'm cute. Or, at least that's what she tells me. She could be lying. She might say that to all the guys she knows in which case...hey...wait a minute...
