Tailored suits are sI learnedl uncomfortable.
I think we must have to barely own the fact we are wearing something that’s uncomfortable because we like the way it looks. If you notify me you wear one every day and you like it, to me it means you’ve just become acclimatised. The same way a smoker won’t smell the stench on their breath or clothes anymore.

Super-skinny stylish suits are uncomfortable. Expensive, traditionally tailored jackets and pants feel great.
Super skinny suits are no longer very stylish.
I hate suits, but a lot of people feel that jeans are uncomfortable, and I find jeans to be very comfortable. Becoming acclimated *is* comfort.
I wonder if body type matters a lot too? I've never worn a suit that even came close to fitting, but I always suspected it's because [my torso is kinda shaped like this,](https://images.trocadero.com/stores/asiaofold/items/1364764/picture1.jpg) so I don't have the kind of br...
With Jeans there's a ton of variation in fits and sizes and brands and its very hard to find the right one. Jeans that are the wrong fit or poorly sized are the seventh circle of hell, but when they do fit they're great. That applies to any piece of clothing but I think they'...
Meh I don't think it's acclimatizing so much as it is different people find different things comfortable.
The whole point of tailored clothes is that they are designed to fit your body. You get what you pay for tho, and well tailored clothes aren't cheap. Also, if your body changes after getting your measurements taken, even the most expertly tailored clothing will be uncomfortabl...
I feel like they are designed to fit your body while standing up and not moving. If you need to sit down or reach for something above your head the whole facade really falls apart.
What is uncomfortable about it? The only thing really different is the jacket. And if you’re standing up and walking around, it’s not that uncomfortable at all. What don’t you like?
I hate how restrictive they feel. If clothes are only comfortable when standing then those are not comfortable clothes.
This is a giveaway that you are wearing shit-quality suits. Period.
My most recent attempt cost around $1500 from a reputable tailor. It looks great but is still super restrictive and uncomfortable. When I raised this with the tailor I was re-measured and assured that this is how it was supposed to fit. If that’s still classed as shit qual...
A tailored suit is literally like a second skin, it flows and moves with you and should be incredibly comfortable. My only thought is you never wear snug clothing and are just not comfortable with things that fit nicely.
Not saying this to be hateful to OP, but most people who complain about even a tailored suit tend to be overweight. It’s far more difficult to get a well-tailored suit as you get larger, and at some point it doesn’t really matter what you do, it will be uncomfortable unless it...
Tailored anything is uncomfortable in my opinion. It’s why I’m very much drawn to more loose fitting fashion such as [these 1930s style suits.](https://pin.it/10NVDGQLN) Problem is finding clothes that fit like this as a man.
You get clothes that fit like that by having them tailored. Tailored doesn't mean one specific fit.
I can wear a suit comfortably. But finding the right fit is very difficult when you're short and have larger than average chest/arms. Get the right fabrics and the right fit and you will feel fine.
I hate wearing suits too, it’s basically winter clothing but you wear it at room temperature. Much too hot
If I wear a tailored suit how the tailor says it’s supposed to be worn is extremely uncomfortable to me. I can’t move in them. The pants are over my belly button the shirt is tucked in down to my lower thighs like lower then my boxers go. I get weird rubs spots all over. I can...
I think some people like the feel of fitted clothes around them, and some people don’t, it’s completely subjective. And many people today aren’t used to the feel of fitted clothes. I also think tailored clothes tend to feel better if you have more consistently upright posture,...
Male dress shoes just suck ass (I'm sure women's shoes are worse but I can't attest). They have absolutely no padding, little to no sole, they run tight, and it just feels like you're stuffing your feet into fucking clogs or having your feet strapped to planks of wood. It feel...
For me good dress shoes are far more comfortable than sneakers.
Eh, I wouldn’t run in them but I recently broke in a new pair of leather Derby shoes and I’m surprised at how much I like them. They’re very clearly not cushioned like a trainer, but they fit my foot very well and it’s hard for me to call them uncomfortable. Not as pliable, bu...
Literally all clothing comfort is about acclimatization. Jeans are uncomfortable too in their own way, but we get used to it and come to like the way they feel. And just because your suit was "tailored" doesn't mean that it was tailored well or is really great quality. Shoulde...
If you have a tailored suit that is uncomfortable it wasn't tailored well or it's the wrong fabric for your climate or activity. You will still notice you are wearing a suit particularly if you are not used to wearing them but it should not bring you physical discomfort.
Can we talk about the shorty short suit pants that are in vogue right now? Looks like some men grew out of their pants. Anyone else find them unappealing? Can we give men enough fabric to reach their shoes?

It is possible to have them tailored to be comfortable, but then they don't look as good since the angles are no longer as sharp. Which, I am honestly okay with.
Sometimes it may be the only clothes suitable for the event.
I think dressing fancy can be extremely comfortable if you do it right, as in, wear a cotton undershirt, don’t wear itchy, cheap, scratchy fabrics, and don’t wear anything so tight that it restricts movement. If you’re wearing quality fabrics that fit right then I wholeheart...
I have never been anywhere inside where a cotton undershirt under a dress shirt wouldn't have been way too hot. Suits feel like too many layers and not enough clothing at the same time. Like the pants feel like you're not wearing any pants at all and it feels like I'm walking ...
If they aren’t comfortable you hired a bad tailor
You know, "My tailor sucks ass" is a shorter way of saying what you wrote.
I have a Brooks Brothers 1818 and a Hickey Freeman suit (both north of $1000) and they’re very comfortable, but clearly not meant for reaching overhead with the jacket on
According to other commenters that means you bought a terrible quality suit and have a bad tailor.
A properly tailored suit, in good quality wool, feels like wearing a pair of pyjamas. It is comfortable and comforting.
I sometimes just prefer the feel of a suit. I find a blazer/suit jacket more comfortable than most other outerwear, and SO MANY POCKETS! The pants are more comfortable than jeans. If yours aren’t comfortable, they don’t fit you comfortably. And yes, even tailored stuff can ...
Upvoted because very very wrong. There is no more comfortable clothing than a well tailored suit. The same applies for shoes.
Shoes I will agree with but a stuffy multi layered outfit that restricts your movement will never be as comfortable as clothes that are designed to be comfortable.
I never wear a suit. If my boss wants me to wear a suit (they don't, but what if) they can go ahead and pay for it.
100 percent wrong. If you’re in shape, a well-tailored suit feels like great. All you notice is the belt cinch and tie knot.
What is this modern obsession with being comfortable all the time?
Still better than jeans tho
I wear a suit every day. A suit should not feel uncomfortable to wear. A high-quality tailored suit should fit your body better than basically all clothes. Do you have an unconventional body shape? Are you wearing a high quality garment?
i wore heels every day before covid and then being inside in slides everyday makes it so hard to wear heels now...
You seeing the wrong tailor, bruh. My tailored shirts and stuff feel AMAZING.
Waist up? Sure. Waist down? If it's not wool and it's still not the most comfortable pair of pants you own, go to an older tailor and follow their fitting advice, you're missing out.
I own two tailored bespoke suits and they are among most comfortable clothes I have ever owned. They are freeing, comfy and make me confident. If they weren't so expensive, I would have owned 10-15 of them and exclusively wear them everyday.
I find my suits comfortable and they were not even fully tailored to me. I bought them from a store and they took some measurements for minor alterations. I’m not going to be doing cartwheels in them but I can move around normally and sit comfortably.
If your suit is uncomfortable than it doesn't fit properly.
Or it’s made from polyester. Quality suits are made of quality breathable fabric and tailored by a professional.
