This does sort of raise the question of exactly who clothing is targeting. As an upper-middle-class man, the women that I'd prefer to see drooling over me are upper-middle-class women. If you're a more working-class guy, you may want more working-class women drooling over you, and it's not clear at all that the same clothing is appropriate for both cases. There seems to be a strong bias here towards the UMC stuff, and it seems to have the right affect on UMC women. If you're trying to impress other women, however, the style advice that you'll get here is probably totally off base. Most women probably aren't in the demographic that SF advice seems to be aimed at impressing, so for most men, the too tight black suits, etc., may actually be more appropriate for most situations.thats a load of BS. Most woman wouldn't know a well dressed man if he fell into their lap. Most women fawn over dudes in too tight black suits, black "dress" shirts, square toed shoes, etc.
As to the price of suitsupply chinos...its ridiculous I agree. A pair of howard yount flannels for $180, absolutely great value. Brooks brothers Milano chinos for $60 on sale. Totally worth it. Suitsupply for $150...no chance.
To complicate things even more, where I work, we have lots of Chinese, Indians, Russians, etc. In that environment, there's no clear metric for "well dressed" at all because it's so culture-specific. So in the bigger picture, the typical SF advice probably isn't very useful to most people.
