You've probably heard it before: Everyone should have a suit that fits well.
I'm really confused when I watch pre-coverage of sporting events and the athletes are dressed in suits right before going into the locker room.

After casually pondering the difference between tuxedos and suits throughout my life, I recently discovered the main: the satin on the jacket lapel and the design on the pants. Once again, I'm confused what makes the satin more formal...
