To be over dressed or to be underdressed, that is the question.

I am usually considered "overdressed". But to be honest, this is because law students usually wear t shirts and abercrombie jeans and new balance shoes while I wear an OCBD, apc new standards, and a v-neck with a good pair of shoes. So "overdressed" still isn't really "overkill".

yeah...by the standards of most places i show up in, i'm probably always overdressed. Even if it's just a Saturday trip to the cigar store i might go in a casual yohji suit and lace ups, and people ask me if i am working that day. I also find it funny they ask that, since there's no way in hell i'd show up to work in a suit of yohji proportions!

In all seriousness, I agree. I like the quote.

I don't like to be appropriately dressed in the sense that I am always overdressed.

I have a slight compulsive desire to be the best-dressed in any situation.

I'm always overdressed but i do try to do it in the context of the environment i do have to evolve in....

I love my clothes and i do feel uncomfortable being casual except on holidays...
Maybe a bit of lack of confidence? My brother used to call me Brummel...

I cannot believe nobody quoted Wilde yet. Let me be the first, then

If I am occasionally a little over-dressed, I make up for it by being always immensely over-educated.

Unless I am working out, cleaning out the fish pond or something similar, I am nearly always overdressed compared to most men I encounter. I just think dressing well shows more respect for yourself and your fellow man. I can never think of any situation where being "underdressed" would be advantageous. (Well, I supppose if I survived an airliner crash landing in a remote mountain area, I would do better were I wearing a woolen shirt, a mackinaw and sturdy outdoor boots than if I were wearing my customary attire. However, clothing appropriate to surviving an enforced sojourn in the high Rockies would be bloody uncomfortable in the cabin of an airliner!)

If i always dressed for the "occasion" i would rarely get to try out my new shirts, ties and shoes.

I once gardened in a suit...I hated that suit and my wife's friend thought iwas a raving lunatic....A great afternoon that was....

Clothing for me is as much about what it is, as about it's appropriateness. ie. Looking good is about wearing the right thing at the right time, otherwise you will look silly. I do like to err on the side of over dressed but only slightly.. ie. if everyone else is wering t-shirts then I will wear a button up shirt in keeping with the situation.

I often have a chuckle to myself when people get the dress code all wrong and look out of place..
