Jonathan, 27


What kinds of men wear suits?
Businessmen, of course, maybe those in finance. But for me, I work in spirits, and I’ve found that people in my business are starting to wear suits, even though they’re not in finance or in business.

Do you think that men in suits are viewed as uptight or boring?
I personally don’t think that way, but I do thing that is often the impression that others have of those wearing suits.

How do you make men’s fashion interesting for yourself?
I like to change how formal I am each day. Some days I wear things that are quite casual, other days I look more uptight. I like the mix of different kinds of clothing. You can wear a more casual pair of jeans together with a very nice suit jacket. I love that combination.

How much is too much to spend on a suit?
I don’t know. I’d say don’t spend more than $1,500.

Suit: tailor-made

Except for the second guy (he has a weird vibe), I would totes do them all.

ESPECIALLY Gerald. Because that is an awesome moustache.

Wait wait wait, did his parents see Star Wars A New Hope and immediately name their newborn Jedi? I so hope so.

Johnathan "work[s] in spirits." So he works in a liquor store, is that it? Or is he a medium?

I know, I kinda want to punch him.

Some of those outfits I would not consider "suits".

Johnathan looks great, but Martin and Jedi are definitely just wearing outfits, not suits.

@Hooksexup, Do you know what a suit is? I'll give you some clues: Jeans/Blazer, Pants/Blazer, Pants/Cardigan combos are all NOT suits. Only Gerald and Jonathan are actually wearing suits--and Jonathan admitted that he has no idea about style and has a personal shopper do it for him, so probably not the best person to ask questions about suits, either.

If you had just posted this article with only Gerald, and asked him more questions, it would have been golden.

Thank you, JD! I can't believe that Hooksexup couldn't find more than two guys who were actually WEARING suits for an article about guys who (allegedly) wear suits.

Jonathan's outfit may be tailor made, but it was tailor made for someone else. His trousers are too short and his jacket is too tight.

Oh, but poor Jonathan has such ISSUES with fit! With his tiny little waist and manly broad shoulders. Poor thing.

poor thing's clothes are too small

Definitely agree with JD- In an article about suits, we have 2/5 guys actually wearing suits (an ill-fitting blazer and capri pants do not a suit make, Johnathan!), one of whom admits he pays someone else to think about fashion for him and the other, a codger wearing a double-breasted suit (which went out of style last century) from Men's Wearhouse- uggh.

Double-breasted is trying to make a comeback, though. I still generally hate it, but still... it's trying. And come on, how can you not love his responses, even if you hate the suit?

Jedi is wearing the best outfit in this feature, but is the only one without clothing details - why?

I agree though, it's definitely not a suit, and don't think it would have been a stretch to find five guys wearing actual suits to interview, especially in Manhattan (the pics in this feature usually appear to have been taken in SoHo). I totally dig suit jackets and ties + nice jeans combo when done properly, but come on, it's an article about suits! Give me a well-groomed man in a nice, well-tailored suit any day... mmm!

Oh, and I thought it was cool and unexpected that they included Gerald. He actually had some of the most relevant commentary on suits.

Only two guys in suits and John's is a pretty nice suit if someone had measured him for the pants. The rest are some sort of ill fitting ensembles. Old guy in double breasted suit is Ok since he was born sometime in the 1920's and he still gets dressed up every day and walks around outside..

Wow

Who the hell wrote this? Do you have any idea how many finance people there are in NYC? These are not suits!

Very disappointing. Please re-do this article with the above input in mind. Thanks!
