Do I wear a suit or dress casual?

[Greg HondaParticipant 6406]

Will soon be in Dixie for a vaction. Want to make a good impression, but not p~~~ anyone off. I feel better if dressed well, but don’t want to attract the wrong kind of attention. Do I dress up, or go casual? Am I being a narissitic bitch by wanting to look my best?

If the answer is dress down, I’ll do it, but why shouldn’t I be proud to look good? Women do it all the time. Why can’t guys be proud and confident as well?

We are not faceless drones to be ignored surely?

Thoughts?

Blazer + jeans works for all situation, well maybe except funerals

[Greg HondaParticipant 6406]

If I was in the mood to buy a nice, but reasonably priced suit in the South, where would you reccomend I go?, chain store wise obviously.

Have a good trip.

Comfortable – that is different for different men. I’d think the south this time of year would be hot and humid so a light jacket and anything cotton.
Enjoy your trip🙂

Don’t forget your swim trunks too!

Greg, its 95 degrees–in the shade—gnats and mosquito’s are on the war path. The only reason I don’t kill the lizards running around the house is because they eat the bugs. Welcome to REDNECK land. I don’t even wear a tie to church.

I’m wearing a tee shirt with a big confederate flag on it and a barbecue sauce stain that never comes out in wash, and gym shorts that are forever colored with dribbled wood stain—and those are my going out clothes. People wear flip-flops to the bank! Dress for extreme comfort only! You will need a hat/cap against the sun.

Besides if you wear really nice clothes and drink too much beer you’ll just heave onto really nice clothes. And who wants that? No you are not attending a cotillion of old southern gentlemen—I sit on my porch and blast away at armadillos while smoking a stogie and sipping whiskey. Come as you are, pull up a chair and spot targets for me!

[PistolPeteParticipant 27143]

addendum: the only thing that makes me a “southern gentleman” as opposed to the run of the mill red-neck IS:

a) I don’t live in a trailer
b) I don’t have a pick up truck–but I do have a rust bucket SUV
c) I don’t drink Bud-light
d) I can afford cigars instead of cigarettes
e) I have more “edjumacation” than the average–from skool don’t you know!

I thought I was the only one. LOL I have the blue tail lizards here in OHIO. WTF? But they eat the bugs!!!

Nor do I kill the snakes in the house unless they are poisonous—they eat the mice and the lizards. Its like living in my own self regulating biosphere.

You’re gonna need a ball cap. Everyone wears one down here. It keeps the sun off your head and out of your eyes. I’m sure you’ll be able to find one cheap down here. Shorts and t-shirts are the norm. You won’t need to dress up unless you’re going to the golf course country club to pick up some retiree looking for a hot young thing.

We Aussie are the type of people who will wear thongs(flip-flops) to an arts-theatre during the summer.

I stubbed my toe so f~~~ing bad wearing flip-flops when I was a kid I threw them away and never wore a pair again!

My only use for flip-flops is in the rocket stove!

Go casual unless you want to sweat your b~~~~ off. Florida & South Georgia can be a sauna this time of year. Welcome to the states, Greg. Enjoy your time here. Wish I could join you.

It depends on what you’ll be doing. And who you’ll be doing it with.

Invited to a cotillion (admittedly not very likely)? Dress up.

Gate crashing a NASCAR tailgate barbecue? Dress down (and bring beer).

Dress casual, Greg. Southerners are not too stuck up on clothing formalities. The heat and humidity dictate how one dresses.

This is not the time of year for suits plus we mostly wear shorts anyway. I prefer long khaki pants with a nice shirt and shoes for formal. The formality standards plummet even among the social elites this time of year.

I suggested a full brim boonie style for best protection. The intensity of the Sun here versus the UK will be the first thing he notices. I live a few hours North of where he landed, and I can tell the Solar irradiation difference between the two cities.

You’re a good man, PP. I even try not to kill poisonous ones though do avoid them. Our snakes are pussies compared to other places. The Cottonmouth Moccasin is one mean SOB though.

I know Tower’s weakness which is Southern reptiles.
