2003 vs. 2017. Maybe we're headed back in the right direction.

I forgot that "wearing my dad's suit to prom" was the fashionable look for a while

Those oversized suits are soooo ugly...

Man, that was 9 years ago, got something a bit more current?

I forget peak baggy pants made it into suits as well lol. It was an ok look for jeans (at an earlier point in the spectrum before it got ridiculous baggy, which is of course subjective) But the suits are always too funny. Like how many times can you wear those pants before they are ruined?

Wait, do you mean we're going to get NBA All-Stars, Codpiece Edition!?!

So, a bit more color variety and more form fitting? Though skinny pants are awful, it's hard to even sit

I said headed in the right direction, not immediate renaissance apparel.

Those old jackets were awful but the new pants are way too slim, look at how they wrinkle!

2003, ganstas in suits?

Those aren't typical gentlemen postures or fittings for that period.

The lower looks like healthy yale grads in properly tailored suits.

Gangstas? These are NBA players, you racist.
