Conventions.

That said, Beanz is probably not quite in the realm of gallivanting as of yet in her career.

Pretty sure they will have worn suits for the interviews to become a doctor, or going to see the bank manager to get their first mortgage, or going to a wedding/funeral...

In the South people don't wear suits to weddings

I have legit seen grown ass adults at weddings wearing flip flops, shorts, and t-shirts. I wore a blazer and chinos and people said I was too dressed up.

It is fucking insane.

The "no black suit" idea is something I've only ever seen on CE, and is some pinky level cringe. Also it's funny how the people with militant opinions on suits have never once in their life been in a situation where wearing a suit would have even been appropriate.

Right, when I go to funerals I'll be sure to wear a pair of khakis and a polo.

I owe many suits. . Note I am not saying to sound better anyone just to put into context the next part of my post.

I keep seeing this notion "if you don't owe a suit you are horrible" (or something like that) from time to time and I hate it. It judges people way too much . And while most places one would need a suit for at least interviews. There are some jobs that people can get by without them. We should not be so fast to judge people and what they wear.

Black suits are for funerals and interviews

Funerals is one good reason. Even then why only have one suit?

Interviews could be done with a charcoal/Grey or Navy Blue. Black isn't the only option.

If you've ever needed to wear one, you might as well have bought one tbh. A basic tux rental is three digits, while you can get a basic blazer, tie, shirt and matching pants for like $150 combined. If you've needed to wear one twice, you're better off buying.

It is fucking insane.

At mine, I saw everything from a full suit (the older men) to a tuxedo T-shirt (you just kinda have to know the guy) to a hideous monster with tentacles growing out of her face made up like a clown in a slutty variation of grandma attire (my mother in law is not entirely stable).

But mode attire was probably business casual--khakis with polo, khakis with button shirt.

i actually wouldn't wear a suit to a wedding any more...my suit would just be nicer/better fitting that anyone else and draw too much attention away from the groom/wedding party. so i just go with a blazer/contrasting pants.

I didn't know people complained about wearing black suits. So not only are people complaining if someone doesn't have suit. They complain if it is black. Saying it is too formal. Look at these people from this site complaining about black suits.

https://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forums/black-suits-yes-or-no-the-definitive-thread-finally

This just crazy to me the level of judgmentalness(98% sure that is not word but I am rolling with it) people have. If Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith approve of the black suit then I am not going to say I can do better.

I personally think a black suit is fine for work but typically people suggest that black is only suitable for funerals/interviews.

I disagree, but at that point it's personal preference
