Why is it that so many attorneys dress like douchebags? You make good money, buy a suit that fits...and not from Men's Wearhouse.
Well said 8:20. Even if you buy a suit off the rack, at least find a good tailor to tailor the suit to fit your body. A few bucks on a tailor can make a great suit look incredible, but can even make a mediocre quality suit look quite nice. There are many days that I am embarrased for my profession when I see the clothes that some attorneys wear to court.
Why is it that you care what kind of suits people wear? I think it's clear who the douchebag is.
Attorneys dress really bad in this town!
A clearance rack $200 suit can look just fine with tailoring so that it fits properly. It's more important to be clean, shirt ironed and have your tie tied right than whether the suit is from Men's Wearhouse or Bernini.
@8:20 am Improper use of the insult "douchebag". Not knowing how to wear a suit and/or not being able to afford a suit from somewhere other than the Men's Wearhouse does not make a douchebag. It just makes them pathetic.
D-bag criteria:

8:55 AM - crawl back to your trailer. What you wear reflects who you are. Period.
Okay, class, let's go over the basics.
Douchebag
Attorney

Does anyone know a good tailor in town?
Habib Tailoring & Men's Wear
3375 S. Decatur Blvd.
Ask for Habib ~ he is terrific and knows exactly
how a suit should fit.
What kind of underwear does Judge Miley wear? And what kind of "work" has she had done?
9:04 wins the thread, well done, you.
If you want to see a douchebag, watch "Million Dollar Listing" and have a gander at Chad. (And yes, I'm pathetic for knowing this--perhaps I should grab an ill-fitting suit)
I love that Ed DiSalvo--er, Miley was chosen as a "model" attorney. That goes along with mob lawyer as mayor in describing this town to people from outside.
I can't wait for Ed Hardy's new line of suits - I think a jury will appreciate the catfish across the back of the jacket.
I have seen some female attorney's waltzing into Court wearing stuff that makes them look like a street walker....you know who they are!!!!
What stands out to me most on the topic of attorney attire is that (private) criminal defense attorneys seems to go out of their way to have "anti-establishment" hair, clothes and shoes.
I LOVE being a female attorney in court. You apparently no longer have to wear a suit. In fact, based on what my peers are wearing, the only thing off limits is pajamas. I've seen leather, low-cut, sleeveless, hooker shoes, and all of the above combined on one person. I used to debate whether dresses were unprofessional. Anything goes.
And in family court, well, pajamas are probably okay there.
A female attorney in town actually showed up at court for the announcement of a verdict In a case where she was one of the lead attorneys) in a pair of sweatpants - she has a jury out, knows she's going to get called back sooner or later and didn't even bother to keep a decent suit in her office.
I do appreciate how it is acceptable to wear a skit without nylons in this town. (Acceptable, of course, if you are not showing cellulite, too much leg, or spider veins.)
I am shocked to learn that attorneys do not uniformly conform to the mandates of EDCR 7.72. "All persons appearing in open court must be properly attired as befits the dignity of the court. All male attorneys must wear full length trousers, coat and tie; female attorneys must wear suitable dresses or pantsuits."
But Men's Wearhouse guarantees that I will like the way I look. That's good enough for me.
There really is no excuse whatsoever for not reflecting a proper , proffessional appearance, even if you are a young associate or a public defender on a limited budget. Twice a year, Dillards men's suits are at least 50% off, and somewtimes discounted even deeper. You can get a decent Hart, Shaffner and Marx for a few hundred dollars.
If you want to charge top dollar for your services, your clients will expect you to be appropriately and proffessionally attired at all times.
The worst dressed of them all are the CD guys. Half of them look semi-homeless. I hear that they have one suit between the lot of them, and you have to reserve it months in advance if you want to wear it.
12:16, I've seen some attorneys using apostrophes to indicate the plural number.
@ 12:16 Were you referring to the short skirt, stiletto heels, show off the fake tits gals?
WTF with the obsession with suits this weekend? Suits are archaic. Nobody in client offices wear them, why should we? And to the jackass citing the EDCR--to mandate suits in Court in this laid back town, esp. in summertime is just plain obnoxious.
If you don't want to wear a suit, you shouldn't be an attorney.
Hey, 1:34, Las Vegas is no different. It's hot but it's about respect. Think it through. If you still don't want to wear a suit, get a job running valet so you can wear shorts year round. I might even let you park my car, douchebag.
That is a lot of passion for a article of wardrobe that hasn't changed in 50 years.
Bucky Buchanan died yesterday.
RIP Bucky
http://www.lvrj.com/news/James-Bucky-Buchanan-dies-in-traffic-accident-69502342.html
Bucky made his mark in the courtroom over the years and lived the Vegas lifestyle. Good for him, I'm sure he died happy. He managed to hang on to a much younger woman too. Again, good for him.
Wow, and notice that Bucky wore nice suits. According to some folks on this thread, that's too rittzy. He should have worn some old tennis shoes and smelly sweatpants, or maybe a Men's Warehouse suit.
