<p>There’s one guy at our school who does this. He seems a little weird to me (so that’s the impression that seems to leave.)</p>
<p>Occasionally if I feel like it ill wear a tie and a vest with jeans. The most you’ll get for that is people telling you that you look nice. Plenty of people will dress up with a tie every once in a while here, but a whole suit is pushing it</p>
<p>Whoop, whoop, high-five for being Indian (I’m Indian too, but I’m a girl)! I mean it’s a free country, and you can wear what you want. I’d rather you wear suits to school than sagging pants. So in my books, you’re already a cool guy. But the losers in your school will make fun of you and judge you so I mean, I’d keep it casual. Maybe khakis, nice shirt, boat shoes? That’s more of business casual so you can look semi-professional without looking too out of place.</p>
<p>Seriously, why? I wore suits for years. Now, everyone seems to have gone to business casual. I cannot imagine why you would want to wear a suit to high school.</p>
<p>If you enjoy wearing a suit, and are comfortable doing so, go ahead. If the stares and comments from your classmates (if there are any) bother you, adjust accordingly. Who knows, maybe someone else will see you doing it, and might also wear an occasional suit and tie. There is one young man at our HS who always wears dress shirt and tie, sometimes a suit. He’s not necessarily one of the most popular students but he is well liked by his circle of friends. He even makes some of his own clothes - he learned from his mother who is a seamstress, and makes most of the costumes for the color guard, and the school musicals.</p>
<p>Just a thought. This could make a pretty nice college essay</p>
<p>I think that’s awesome! I’ve always wanted to dress in Victorian wear (as a lifestyle, daily basis kind of thing), but I just don’t have the courage to do it… I think it’s great that you want to dress nicely on a daily basis, and if you were at my school (I don’t live anywhere near there, sadly), I’d definitely want to strike up a conversation with you, just to see what a guy who wears suits every day is like, personality-wise.</p>
<p>I think as long as you have the personality to match (not really a “party all the time”, but you can have fun, makes good grades, respects teachers, that sort of thing), then you’ll be fine.</p>
<p>Not to mention, I’m totally into guys in suits. Weird, I know… XD</p>
<p>And just as a note, make sure you’re always dressing for the weather. If it’s freezing, I’d eschew the suit jacket for a nice trench coat and scarf, and I’d avoid the three piece suit during a heat wave (Unless you don’t mind carrying your jacket, which is also an option). Dressing up is nice, but even I’d think you were odd if I was burning up and I saw you in a three piece suit.</p>
<p>Okay, first of all; I came to the United States a few months ago, but I’ve lived in this country before so I know cultural norms. But that was in elementary school, so I never attended middle school here. So basically I’m not completely new to American culture, but I don’t know much about teen culture in high schools specifically.
Anyway, my suits are in formal, conservative styles, black, charcoal gray, brown, black Pinstripe, gray pinstripe, etc.
I’ve been in high school for a few months now and I really don’t know about what people think of the way I dress. I don’t have a single friend at school and almost never to get to talk to anyone. I’m going to change that immediately when school reopens this September. Though I do get compliments once in a while, I haven’t heard anything negative. I’m a complete loner at school so there’s really no one to tell me what people would think. That’s why I’m asking this on CC : )</p>
<p>And by the way, is that really a good idea for a college essay? I wonder if that will make me sound arrogant to the admission officers.</p>
<p>Is it strange? Yes.
Should you stop? No. Do what you want!</p>
<p>And by the way, I also own a three piece tuxedo which is to be worn with a bow tie. Could I wear that to school once in a while?</p>
<p>There’s a kid like that at my school. Do what you want</p>
<p>:eek: :eek: :eek:</p>
<p>Save the tuxedo for bigger occasions. The other stuff I think you can get away for more everyday wear.</p>
<p>If nothing suits you like a suit, then go for it.</p>
<p>Honestly, from my experience, people dress down for school. A lot. I usually wear a sweatshirt and jeans, and I’m a guy in a fairly cold climate. That seems to be fairly normal.</p>
<p>I really only dress up on days where I have debate. I don’t exactly find formal clothes/suits the most comfortable things in the world. Just dress comfortably for school. No one will care.</p>
<p>Hm. Every day? That’s excessive.</p>
<p>I go to a public school too. Some guys will wear khakis and button downs or polos to school on a regular basis, but not full out suits. The only time you’ll see someone in a suit is if they have to dress up for sports or debate or something. Most teachers don’t even wear suits. I appreciate it when guys dress well, but wearing a suit every day is too much. I mean, I live in the greater Washington DC area and the PRIVATE school guys I know don’t wear a suit to school every day.</p>
<p>I mean, do what you want of course. ;)</p>
<p>One of my good friends dresses up excessively at school, but he doesn’t go so far as to wear suits haha. We give him crap for it, but it’s all good-natured. In the end, it’s your personality that defines you. If you’re friendly, your clothes will just be secondary. After awhile everyone will stop noticing your suits anyway, because they’ll be used to it. </p>
<p>So basically, wear whatever makes you comfortable.</p>
<p>Wealthy, stuck up, annoying, craves attention and approval</p>
<p>Why would you ever wear a suit to high school? </p>
<p>A collared shirt is like the most formal you should get.</p>
<p>I mean do what you want but don’t wear the suit unless you don’t want to make new friends.</p>
<p>Werk it.</p>
<p>Wear what you want, simple.</p>
