Wearing a suit two days in a row?

[mataleao]

Would you wear the same suit two days in a row, but with a different shirt and tie combo each day? The reason I ask is I have a presentation for a large number of people at an engineering convention and I would like to use my favorite suit for both days. It seems to fit me better than the other suits I have.

please advise

unless the suit is very distinctive like bold pink with green stripes or 8x1 DB, I really doubt many will notice that you are wearing the same suit, and even fewer think it's a 'bad' thing.

Do you sleep?

I try to if I get the chance

Today is my last day of my 'internship' after doing my last overnight duty. I finish in four and a bit hours.

I don't think they sleep in Hong Kong.

People in Hongkong sleep standing up, so they could wear a suit in 2 days... straight. Weather permitting of course.

I don't see why not.

A suit is a bit of a blank canvas therefore you can wear it two days in a row especially if it's a classic suit...
For some obscure hygiene reason, i do not recommend wearing the same shirt two days in a row ..
Concerning the tie ,wearing the same one 2 days in a row could damp your sartorial reputation and making you like sombody lacking some sartorial creativity....
I have colleagues wearing the same combi every day of the week and it looks like their wife is influencing them after reading a good article in Vogue homme..

Don't forget your steamer.

I switched to wearing suits so I could get away with having few clothes. I pretty much switch out my underwear, tie, shoes and shirt every day, but keep wearing my suit.

Last night, after work, I ended up drinking and crashing at a friend's house. I put on the same clothes, and my friends still said I look sharp. It's a wonderful thing, a suit. Even when it's a bit grimey, it still looks better than your average jeans and T-shirt.

Only if I was travelling and away for just one night and wanted to take the minimum of luggage.

Otherwise it is bad for the suit and the wearer.
