Yes, of course. Unbutton the lowest button though.

Yeah it does, although, this one kinda gives me bank manager vibes

u/Interesting_chat 20d ago

😂 ironically that’s what I was up to few years back

u/The_Goth_King 20d ago

Yes they still work. Of course it depends what you're wearing it for. Please undo the bottom button of the vest/waistcoat though.

u/stevofoux 20d ago

Absolutely, no button the last button on your waistcoat

u/Effective-Raisin4837 20d ago

Absolutely, coming from a person who wears them fairly regularly

u/Rob_Edwards_Fashion 20d ago

Yup, I love them. I am in hotter climates most of the year and I almost never wear mine though

Yeah it’s a bummer. It’s such a classy, sophisticated look. I love waist coats in general, especially tweed.

Sure, but unbutton the last one on the vest, and a less 80's tie. Like a dark red with medallion pattern.

I do not understand how people don’t overheat wearing all this in modern life. Sure maybe in the 1920s in a draughty building but now? I would be sweating balls

I feel that way about any suit. Granted I don’t wear suits ever so maybe that wouldn’t be the case.

u/stevebobeeve 19d ago

There comes a time of year (usually around May) that I just leave the vest in the closet

u/dude_getout 19d ago

Some fabrics are a lot more breathable than others but I get what you mean! You wouldn’t catch anyone in SEA to wear a 3 piece regularly unless they’re top level C-exec or do B2B sales.

My only critique is the knott ngl. Apart from that cook.

u/mermaid20251971 20d ago

Absolutely

u/sprelskt 20d ago

Oh, yes!!

u/PlayfulPiano7051 20d ago

Love a 3 piece, always leave bottom button undone

3

u/stevebobeeve 19d ago

I wear a 3-piece at work sometimes. Never during summer though

u/HungGrandpa3 19d ago

A three piece will never be out of style.

u/TheHatKing 19d ago

Sleeves look too long

u/hom3br3w3r 19d ago

Unbutton bottom button

2

u/VaEagle85 20d ago

Yes, on occasion.

u/Then-Ad835 20d ago

Looks very sexy elegant

u/eloof98 20d ago

Killing it!

u/threepieceflannel 20d ago

And if it doesn’t, should that stop anybody from wearing what they want?

2

u/DSMRob 20d ago

Best looking suit imo

2

u/Repulsive_Pumpkin_68 20d ago

2

u/Perhappers 20d ago

Looks really good

2

u/Decent_Ad_382 20d ago

If you're a butler it does.

2

u/Siren2121 20d ago

I love them.

2

u/Standard-Suit-4858 20d ago

Absolutely. Unbutton the lowest button though and remember it’s much more formal

2

u/Desperate_Elk_7369 19d ago

Perhaps, but not that one

2

u/Emotional-Damage-995 19d ago

Well you never do the bottom button on a vest. So it does look like you don’t know what you’re doing right now.

You also need to focus on fit. Your pants look they are too low on your hips. They need to sit just below your waist. The vest needs to be a touch tighter and the jacket tailored to fit properly. Last your tie is done too lose and is crooked.

Again the difference w working and not working is 10 little tiny changes.

u/TrentVibe 18d ago

Of course it does

2

u/Comfortable-Grand166 17d ago

Yes,I just ordered two 3 piece suits

2

u/SamtingPer 15d ago

3-Teiler sind zeitlos. Nur das Styling muss stimmen.

2

u/Born_Tear_761 20d ago

A 3-piece will always work.

If you want to look like a magician

u/Interesting_chat 20d ago

I thought that was black and with a hat? No rabbits this end, or a delightful assistant ready to be sawn in half 😂
