Answer 1

If you mean tailored menswear (quality classic, traditional clothing), then no, not at all.  In fact, if you're buying a suit or sportsjacket, or dress pants, the goal is to get as much tailoring and as many fittings as possible for the price you're paying (in addition to the quality of the cloth and construction).

If you're just talking "tight" clothing, then no, that's not becoming, since it violates many of the rules of tailoring and proportion (drape and so on).

Read up on true men's tailoring, and British tailoring.  I think you'll find it's anything but "g*y."  Rather old-school, dusty, gentlemanly, and clubby, rather.

The primary concern with nice clothing -- and any clothing -- of course, is that it should fit the situation you're in (both environmentally and your social/income status).  So it would look /pretentious/ if you wore a truly tailored suit in many American locales, or someplace where it made no sense to do so.  Also, it can be rude and, frankly, stupid to "outdress" your peers if indeed your peers are your equals in most other ways.  That's where the sociology of clothing comes into play -- and it shouldn't be discounted.  Outdressing others can potentially cause you to stand out in a society that's fancies itself a meritocracy (i.e., where one's talents and income indicate position, not clothing or lineage).  So as strange as it sounds, if everyone around you is dressing sloppily, it can sometimes be the wrong pragmatic choice to look prim and proper (i.e., you might not get very far with your peers).  That's rather mixed up, but it's basic anthropology and sociology at work.

My basic advice: If you can afford it, and if it makes practical sense, do have some tailored items, and make them extremely conservative.  Then dress according to the situation, and always be /understated/ and unobtrusive in all of your male clothing choices.  The male should usually (though sometimes not the case with New England prep wear) provide the pleasant, conservative, unnoticed backdrop or canvas for the splendor of his female companion (as far as clothing is concerned).  The detail and quality should be noticeable only upon close inspection.

You will not be judged "g*y," metrosexual, or whatever.  Were Gregory Peck or Cary Grant g*y?  No.

But be careful.  You don't want to appear immodest.  In America especially, there's a favoritism toward blue-collar dispositions, as well as dressing exactly according to your social and income status -- and never above it.  Thus, my "be conservative about it" proviso.  Otherwise, people will think you're wearing a costume.  And you may well be.

A tip:  Carry it off (dressing correctly) like you don't think too much about it.  As an example, if you have a nice shirt on and the situation allows for it, roll up the sleeves and act like you don't know you have a nice shirt on.  Or if you have a nice outfit on, don't walk around like you're on eggshells; forget about your outfit the minute you walk out the door -- pretend you're wearing jeans, a T-shirt and sneaks.

Another tip: Cary Grant used to say the middle of the road is always the best course to follow, and so it is with clothing.  Again, that's a tip of the cap to propriety, and it basically means, "blend in."  But be correct.  Also remember that you don't need that many clothing items to blend in, be correct, look neat and well-groomed, and the rest of it.  You mainly need good habits, knowledge, and wisdom.  In fact, I'd recommend a limited closet.

Again, it can't be repeated enough: Avoid things that are conspicuous or flashy.  That's death in more ways than one in the eyes of others.  Blend in, but with correct choices and subtle quality.  (I'd add that being conservative in dress has nothing to do with one's political temperament or overall character -- I'm a liberal.)  Study "the rules" of classic-clothing propriety, and when to break them.  That's the safest course.  Then you're good to go, and far ahead, clothing-knoweldge-wise, of most everyone else.  And if the situation calls for blue jeans and a T-shirt, you can go ahead and wear blue jeans and a T-shirt -- while still retaining the knowledge of how to correctly wear a suit and dress shoes for those occasions that require that.  That's an equation, incidentally, that doesn't work so well in reverse (some people can wear blue jeans and a T-shirt, but when called upon to wear a suit and dress shoes, they haven't a clue what they're doing).

So, you see, it's about knowledge.

Good luck.

Answer 2

NO, I DO NOT THINK IT'S g*y, I THINK IT'S s**y ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE A s**y BODY.

Answer 3

no its not g*y, its yummy =DD  there's no point in wearing something thats not going to flatter your shape. Non-fitting clothes don't look smart. The most expensive suits are tailored, not left to look like sacks.

i dont know why people would think it amkes you look g*y in the first place but what does look "g*y" is cltohes that are so baggy that you look like you've stolen your clothes from a morbidly obese guy

Answer 4

No, a thousand time no. It makes you look clean cut and professional. If a guys clothes are baggy I just think that he is a slob. Women appreciate someone who cares so don't have to secretly be embarrassed the fifth time he puts on that baggy t-shirt to go do errands together.  

Answer 5

i think its not, but i think that most people think it is, the reason for this is, thats what most g*y guys wear.
