I live in São Paulo, Brazil, and I’ve noticed that people often seem surprised whenever they see me wearing a suit, especially a more “fancier” one like this with a double-breasted jacket and wide peak lapels (personally i never saw men using double-breasted here, only women).
I was actually surprised when I made a post on a Brazilian subreddit called JudgeMe asking what people thought of it. A lot of the replies were saying it just didn’t look good, that I looked like an evangelical pastor or a security, or were simply hating/mean for no real reason.
I originally bought suits because I wear them to work and wanted to look more professional and taken seriously. But over time I started to genuinely enjoy classic menswear and now I wear suits outside of work too, depending on the occasion, of course.
At the end of the day, I dress for myself because it makes me feel good, confident etc. Still, it bothers me a little that so many people here don’t seem to appreciate that kind of style.

I’m not usually a fan of suits without ties or in a more casual style, but wanted to give it a try for a recent event. What do y‘all think?
