Just got an email announcing a suiting sale this morning. 25% off with code SUITS.

+1 – I love my Calvin Klein blazers. I am fortunate to afford a higher-quality fabric now, but these are workhorses, and because I only go into the office 1-2x/week I have no need to upgrade them as long as they are cared for (just got a bunch back from the dry cleaners yesterday). I’ve actually bought a few on poshmark and those continue to be excellent.

No, it seems way too casual for black tie optional/formal. It just barely would work for cocktail.

Hysterically, I can distinctly recall people, saying the exact same thing about bootcut jeans/pants when skinnys first came into fashion on this, very board!

Look – I fully endorse the idea that people should wear what looks good on them. And I wholesale reject the idea that we all need to buy new clothes every season or two to avoid looking “dated”. That said, fashion is cyclical. And the mere fact that you can recall this silhouette being fashionable among the generation immediately preceding yours, does not make it “dated” or “frumpy” (which is code for “something worn by older women”). On the contrary, it is evidence that the up-and-coming generation is rejecting your fashion.
