Hopefully no weddings or funerals coming up. Then again, if you’re American, I’ve seen people show up to a wedding in shorts and a baseball cap. No ironing required.
The most recent funeral I attended, only the deceased’s brother wore a suit, the rest of the family wore basically everyday clothes, as did 99% of the attendants. I left my suit jacket in the car because I felt overdressed.
The deceased wasn’t the type that would want anyone to put on their Sunday best just for him, so it made sense. But when I mentioned it to my father, he commented that no one really wears suits to funerals anymore, or even weddings.
Just across (south) of the bay from you judging by your name: I was at a funeral recently, not many people wore suits. Of course, nobody wore shorts or anything, but not too many formal suits.
On the rare occasion I have to wear a dress shirt for work, I’m making sure it’s as wrinkled as possible. I wouldn’t want to be mistaken for one of the execs, it gives the impression that you don’t work hard. I think it’ll continue bubbling up in the same way not wearing a tie and not having curtails did.
Speak for yourself. Casual clothes killed most ironing but ain’t nobody showing up in a wrinkled suit.
I don’t even own a suit haha
I wish they were more affordable in the US. I love wearing a suit, makes me feel like a mobster. lol Cosplay for the unstable.

Was this in the US?
It was, yes.

Here black suit is usually the way to go
That’s how we did my grandfather’s memorial. Grandma didn’t want it to feel formal and we weren’t about to force that.
I didn’t for a long time either. Then I needed one.
How often do you wear a suit? Dry clean as necessary, hang it up between uses. I’ve never ironed a suit.
That doesn’t proof it from wrinkles, especially if you need to travel to the event.
Clothing steamers are less damaging though.
I’ve never had one actually work though. Irons, used properly, are safe and they work.
Mine does.
Bully for you?
?
I’m glad it works for you.
