It's no big deal, even tramps used to wear jackets ties and hats.



Try wearing a jacket and tie at all times and notice how much more respect you get in all your interractions. Add a hat for extra points

It even saved a London underground fine once when my expired ticket didn't work. The controller assumed the machine was broken and let me through, whilst fining another person for whom the machine reacted in the same way.

That's a great jacket he's got 
Are you in the UK? If so, you should check out John Simons if you haven't already. They make (in England) very nice suits/sportcoats (American style) at pretty reasonable prices, considering the average price of tailored garments made in western world. They also seem to run sales several times a year as well



I've been wearing sportcoats or a blazer more frequently when I'm out. We Catholic men can either try to bring those around us up to a greater level of self respect, or let them drag us down to their level

You'll find muslim women quite hypocritical here. Under the veil, there are collagen lips and and an plastering of make up.

I agree! I was acquaintances with some and many of them would wear pants and have a full face of makeup. 

I agree.

My husband, who is of Croatian heritage, specifically prefers to wear a cravat, and wastes no opportunity in telling people the story of how the modern neck tie came to be.

Typical Croatian 

The French word for dress is 'robe'. The word 'robe' is used in English to describe any garment that reaches to the ground and is worn by those who who have been entrusted to ensure God's order is applied, i.e. judges, priests, kings. 

This should be a clue as to why it's necessary that women wear a dress. Women are called by God to a higher purpose, to give and nuture life, something that no man can do. 

A woman in a dress who moves gracefully is like an angel.

This is why (((those))) in the fashion industry have done their best to destroy femininity.

  

Never thought about it. Wearing jeans is really uncomfortable in heat and once I realised that they were invented by a guy called Levi who wanted the entire world to look like a factory worker, I never wore them again.

In guessing you live in a country that is usually cold? Where I live it basically feels like summer for 6 months than slightly cold (could still wear shorts and tuff it out) in the winter.

I also like men in suit and ties for Mass and who work in offices. Remember, though, that in many UK or UK influenced countries, girls and women wear ties as part of a uniform. So that doesn’t necessarily inspire virility.  When my friend moved to England from the US in the 1970’s, the school uniform for girls included a tie just like the boys. 
The problem world-wide, is that culture has become degraded and that is reflected in people’s manner of dress. Clothing, regardless of the specifics, should reflect Natural Law. Sadly, so many people lack even the sense of Natural Law, so they turn to lewdness in their manner of dress, regardless of cultural norms.

Yeah a lot of workplaces require women to wear pants, what should these women do?

There is an interesting bit of science/psychology you should be aware of. If you could measure where the eye looks (with a camera/computer) you would notice that any V shape directs the eyes to the point of the V. So, in the case of a woman wearing pants, the eyes are naturally going to gravitate to the point of the V: the butt/crotch area.

It's not a question of choice or virtue -- we're talking about basic psychology, a basic visual reflex, like people looking in the direction of an explosion. It's *going* to happen every time, unless you consciously stop yourself.

Do you wear bright orange and complain that men give you more attention? Of course not. You just don't fight against the whole of human nature. It is foolish to endeavor to swim upstream. If you don't want men looking at your groin area, then don't wear clothing that begs/coaxes/compels them to. Only a small percent of men are going to habitually walk with their eyes cast down, etc. Think about it.

Now add to this, the fact that men are more "visual" by nature. That is why pants, on women, is fundamentally immodest. Men don't have "hips" or a "figure" to show off that women admire. Even if they did, women aren't just feminine men. They are wired differently.
Plus men are doing work that requires pants. Women should be doing jobs that cater to their femininity, rather than destroy it.


Long story short: pants are immodest. The same arguments "Men should have the virtue to always walk with their eyes cast down", etc. would equally apply to going around with low plunging necklines -- or even bikinis. And no one is going to argue that such clothing is modest! If your clothing requires (heroic?) virtue on the part of all men who cross your path -- your clothing isn't modest.
