Modern suits tend to highlight or made the male body more appealing, etc making the shoulders wider in comparison to the waist, compared to some like a robe that hides the stature.
Yes, this is the unfortunate thing. I know men who are extra careful about finding looser-fitting suits, and have to go to thrift stores or purchase from websites that make clothing as it was in the 50s, as WorldsAway pictured above. Saving up for one modest Sunday suit is even sufficient! A good woman would find such a suit attractive.

Men who wear tight fitting anything are half way to being ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ in my humble opinion.

Thought occured to me today that, generally, men have less skin exposed at mass than do women! The vast majority of men at any chapel I've been to on Sunday have only their hands, head, and some portion of the neck above a collar exposed. Meanwhile, an unfortunate % of women may have arms up to mid bicep, legs below the knee, entire neck and some distance below the neck, and even the upper back exposed..not even taking into consideration immodesty through form fitting clothing 

The sex that is more prone to temptations of the flesh and less prone to causing them regularly clothes more of it's body than the sex which is less prone to temptations and more prone to causing them :fryingpan:

I have much compassion for men today in that regard. May the good Lord grant you all courage and perseverance.
