I've seen quite a few attractive men in "attractive" suits, and I still think they'd look better in something else. I don't care how well the suit fits, suits are by nature bulky and bulky just doesn't work for me. The high fashion, modern, tailor-made suits DO look MUCH better, but the guy would still look more attractive (IMO) if he lost the jacket and added a little flare to the rest of the ensemble. To me suits add at least 10 years and 10 pounds to almost anyone who puts them on (well anyone under 45 and not already "big" anyway).
Actually I also thought Leo - whom I do consider quite attractive normally - looked really cruddy on Oscar night. I do blame the suit and his hair style for that.
Hair styles are another point. Unfortunately I find that I often hate what both men and women do with their hair when they try to make it especially nice. Leo is a good example of the guys. An even better example is Kate Winslett. I think she's a pretty woman, but I saw a picture of how she had her hair fixed on the "big night", and I thought it made her look like an ugly guy. Some fancy hair styles do work, but regrettably I often find myself thinking "Wow this attractive person managed to find both the least flattering clothes and hair style for this special occasion!"
Of course I keep my mouth tightly shut about this, and accept and realize that I really am in the minority when it comes to this opinion. Most people do like formal wear and hair...I don't.
Okay fashion bitchiness off
